Transformers 2007: Jazz concept design, Shooting wraps.

by FakeTrout, filed in Movies on Sep.24, 2006

Jazz, the soulful Transformer made famous in the 1984-86 cartoon series by the voice of Scatman Crothers, has made it to the Transformers 2007 movie. Now after the jump you can see the car he turns into, and a detailed design sketch of his robot mode. (skip to the good part)

Producer Don Murphy has announced the last day of shooting the movie was today. Or at least major filming…

Today is the last day of main unit shooting. In two hours we’ll break for lunch. Then blow up more shit in downtown LA.
Next week a reduced unit with very few actors will head to different cities and pick up some establishing shots. Then some of the team will head to the Frozen North.
The film is basically done today boys and girls. And by done I mean filming. If ever there was a film that was really going to be made in post production, this is it. Much editing and many effects to go.
How do I feel? There is a promo reel that has been put together for exhibitors and retailers that is mind boggling. There is a trailer being put together for later this year that should blow your mind.
I’m feeling pretty good that we’ve made a film that you will like. Only time will tell.

Ok… now on to Jazz…

TFW2005’s Super Megatron posted this image with the large watermark insuring I credit 2005.

Jazz will be a Pontiac Solstice coupe, as seen here in concept form.

*real Jazz will be silver, not red.

Not really feeling the face, if you can even call it that. I always preferred the characters with human features, but I don’t think we’ll be seeing much of that here.

I’m feeling very little with any of them personally, but I give credit for the allusion to the old “knobby” helmet with the little finned styling up there. Jazz had the “visor-eyed” style of face to start with, and dehumanizing him means no mouth. So they worked it out pretty well, all things considered. Of course, one should also note the classic chest/front clip that we also saw but to a lesser extent with the Bee.

With principal shooting wrapped, hopefully we’ll start seeing more in the way of trailers fairly soon. Post-production’s going to take quite a while, of course, but I hope it doesn’t wind up causing the movie to be delayed.

Out of all the movie design I seen this one is my favorite. I really like movie Jazz design. With the head design I like it since I been more of a fan of the visor eyes and no mouth look of tfs. But head doesn’t feel like Jazz. If they were to do Soundwave that be the head I would they would use. Still good robot mode.

Like the body, but the face design is weaker than Beast Machine Rattrap’s legs…

What? Too soon?
