It's cute, but it wasn't my street.

That was so cool! I saw my house and Grimlock got thrown right over the driveway into my front yard! 
Though, why are both him and Shockwave so gray? That looked more like "Shackwave" to me.

Didn't really see my street a whole lot but it was recognizable. Pretty awesome stuff there tapping into the satellites for this.

That was kind of cool, except that it showed them fighting around the corner from my street instead of in front of my actual house. But whatever, it was still cool.

What the fu...??!! I could see my neighbour and next door's old caravan. There was a shot of my house but it was a mirrored image. Can someone explain the witchcraft behind this for me, please?

My guess is that they used imagery taken from something like Google Maps and tied this little program in to work with it, if that's even possible.Sodan-1 wrote:What the fu...??!!

I get how that would work for the shot where Shockwave is descending through the atmosphere, but would that work for the on the ground shots as well? I don't think I've ever actually used Google Earth, but those shots look like they were taken by someone on or close to the ground.

You can get Street Views in Google Maps. I use those all the time.Sodan-1 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:My guess is that they used imagery taken from something like Google Maps and tied this little program in to work with it, if that's even possible.Sodan-1 wrote:What the fu...??!!
