Who are Michael Bay's regular crew guys?

[darthrage]

Michael Bay said he would prefer to lower his fee in order to stay in the US to shoot his films. They are guys that have been with him for 15 years and knows how he shoots and can keep up with him.

I remember watching the behind-the-scenes stuff on the DVDs as well as listening to the commentaries and all I usually hear is:

Kenny Bates (2nd unit and stunt coordinator, associate producer)
John Frazier (special effects)

Who else are some other regular guys he works with?

He hasn't been there so much time, but i think we should tal also about Steve Jablonsky.

He was something like the "deliver guy" in The Rock and Armageddon (not sure about this), he worked in Pearl Harbor making "aditional music", co-write the Bad Boys 2 score and write The Island, Transformers and Transformers:ROTF score.

Also is the regular composer in the Platinum Dunes movies.

Doesn't Jerry Bruckheimer do most of the producing when Michael Bay directs? Or was that just Pearl Harbour?

[alexsm]

Bruckheimer was there since Bad Boys to Bad Boys 2.

Everyone has ideas, even the caterers on the set. Ideas are a dime a million. It's what you do with those ideas that really matters.

Sound mixer Peter Devlin has been there since Bad Boys.

Mark Palansky ( assistant ) and Steve Picerni ( stunts ).

And if I'm not mistaken, it was Picerni who was driving the Hummer at the end of "Bad Boys II". Palansky is a director now, so congrats to him.

Was it Picerni, or Henry Kingi? I know Kingi was driving the Ferrari during the causeway, but I forget who took the H2 all the way down the shanty town. Gonna have to pull out disc 2 of the dvd now.

Oh man, I messed up. You're right, it was Kingi.
