I happened to stumble across the set of Spiderman 3 today while I was out taking photos. They had Foley Square, near the courthouses at Centre St. (a few blocks from City Hall), blocked off but I was able to get some decent shots thanks to the powerful zoom on my camera.
The scene looks like a celebration in honor of Spiderman. There is a pavilion set up with a podium and lots of important looking people. The stage has a background that says, "Thank You Spiderman". As I was watching, they did a couple takes which involved Spiderman swinging down over the crowd as they cheered. I managed to get a pretty decent video.
They had a camera high above the scene which was sliding along a cable. The way the cable was strung, it provided a cool shot of the American flag flying from the courthouse roof. I'm guessing the scene involves Spiderman swinging up past the flag like he did several times in the other two movies.
Any thoughts on where the scene belongs in the movie? Could it be one of the final scenes?
