Daytona74 Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 (edited) So overall, they did a pretty good job keeping filming equipment out of shot, if you disregard the shop window scene in the pilot. But so far I have found two other instances of equipment visible that did make it into the final cut: From "Buddies", shadow of a boom mic in the top right corner: From "Payback", shadow of camera equipment on Crockett's back during the fight with Cates on the boat: The second one is maybe slightly iffy. It could just be the shadow of one of the lights that are mounted on the overhead bar of the boat, as seen in other shots of that scene. But I think I see the lens hood of a film camera, and the left arm of the guy operating it, with a wrist watch... Have you guys spotted any other "equipment visible" shots?

airtommy Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 (edited) Great idea for a topic! In The Good Collar when the the car is blown up with a grenade launcher, Crockett & Tubbs are sitting in a diner which we know was fake. I believe we can see the top of the set for a moment: Edited July 27, 2017 by airtommy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assasinge Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 This is funny stuff, especially for a filmmaker like me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators James Posted July 27, 2017 Administrators Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 There was a scene where you could see the microphone boom in shot but I forgot which episode it's in. For a show which was professionally written and edited, it was shot so amateurly sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vincent Hanna Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 In the car chase in "Down for the count II" when one of the cars flips, It slides too far across the street on it's roof and the camera follows it to the point where you can see the whole production crew in the background. That's forgivable though for an awesome stunt. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airtommy Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 CGlide has pointed out a few of these in his location guide. In Brother's Keeper, during the car vs boat chase we see the lighting trucks. http://www.miamivicelocations.org/page7.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daytona74 Posted July 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 (edited) yeah, the light truck... but I think it's not immediately obvious to the viewer that that light truck is part of the filming equipment, if you know what I mean... Sometimes, road construction workers have light trucks similar to that one when they work at night. vor 1 Stunde schrieb codemaster94: This was the 2nd episode filmed, El Viejo was the 1st episode of Season 3 filmed.

mvnyc Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 (edited) There are a bunch of these "goofs", one that comes to mind is in "Like A Hurricane" where Crockett is giving his "I'm getting married" speech. A boom microphone is clearly visible in the upper right-hand corner (even in the 4 X 3 standard definition version!).

Haha! someone wanted to go for a ride oh well, Don was probably just giving that crew member a ride home... I'm trying to find an episode right now where you've got a big fat reflection of the camera rig in the door of the Daytona while Don is getting in or out. I thought it was Phil the Shill, where Crockett reminds Zito and Switek that they're working a double shift, but I was wrong... just checked...

airtommy Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 (edited) This one is visible crew rather than equipment. In Definitely Miami when Crockett first takes Callie to the safehouse, at the start of the scene we see the ceiling fan going at full speed and a crew member's hand can be seen yanking the string twice to turn it down to a slower setting.

jenny Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 (edited) I saw this while watching at the gym.. season 1 episode 18 "Made For Each Other." If you look closely at the door as they get out the car, youh casn see the camera crew reflecting on the passenger door. It looks like a square reflector screen!
