DVD BONUS MATERIAL
THE HUMAN FACTOR
EXACTING REVENGE OF THE FALLEN
A definitive, comprehensive feature-length documentary exploring the making of this year's biggest hit, broken up into the following 7 chapters…
1. SEEDS OF VENGEANCE (30:00)
Development and Design
After the overwhelming success of 2007’s TRANSFORMERS, how do the filmmakers top themselves for the sequel? Complicating matters are the Writer’s Guild strike and upping the giant robot ante from fourteen to forty-six!
2. DOMESTIC DESTRUCTION (23:51)
Production: United States
Michael Bay believes in going big: Big action and big explosions. Cast and crew are pushed to the limit as they traverse the U.S. from New Mexico to Pennsylvania. Far from being all work and no play, Shia and the rest of the crew have a little fun with Mr. Bay.
3. JOINT OPERATIONS (9:26)
Production: Military
No other filmmaker in the world enjoys the kind of military access and cooperation Michael Bay has. Here we see just how efficient our armed forces are and the awe and respect shown by the cast.
4. WONDERS OF THE WORLD (12:41)
Production: Middle East
You can’t really reproduce Egypt anywhere but Egypt so off we go to Giza and Luxor. Shooting on the Great Pyramids was an incredible logistical challenge made even more so by actor John Turturro ACTUALLY climbing on them!
5. START MAKING SENSE (9:23)
Editing
In order to turn over the massive amount of film as quickly as possible to VFX, four editors work tirelessly with Michael Bay in a unique tag-team approach to shape the film.
6. UNDER THE GUN (30:00)
Visual Effects
REVENGE OF THE FALLEN features the most complicated VFX in film history. Period. So complicated in fact that Michael Bay and his team were unsure they would make the deadline. The Devastator VFX alone required 83% of ILM’s total render farm capacity. To put it another way, some of ILM’s computers actually exploded.
7. RUNNING THE GAUNTLET (17:22)
Post-Production and Release
Working seven days a week, Michael Bay and company usher the film through sound design, Digital Intermediate color-timing and a globe-trotting whirlwind of premieres.
A Day With Bay: Tokyo (16:18)
An intimate and fun all-access journey with Michael Bay as he travels to Tokyo, Japan for the world premiere of “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.
25 Years of Transformers (10:16)

Deconstructing Visual Bayhem (25:24)
