Hollywood

I had a cool trip to LA.  We stay downtown and while I was there they were filming scenes for the new Batman movie.  It was very fun to watch.  They would start filming late at night around 9pm and shoot all night until dawn.  I was on the 20th floor and could see right out my window the scenes being filmed over and over.  They would shoot several takes of the same scene.  The video shows a chase scene that included about 30 or 40 Gotham City Police cars chasing batman on his huge motorcycle.  They would run the scene slow and eventually speed it up to full speed.  There was even a helicopter that would swoop down between the buildings.  Look closely and see if you can find it.  I was mesmerized.

This was our Hotel.  Look for it in the movie.

The terrace of our hotel by day.  Great view.
