Featured in the panel was Lee Rosenthal, president of physical production for Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon as well asexecutive producer Tommy Harper, location manager Mike Fantasia and aerial coordinator Kevin LaRosa. The conversation, which was moderated byeditorial director Nekesa Mumbi Moody, covered the scouting of filming locations to partnering with the Navy to shoot the movie.
“You don’t just fly F-18s at a 650,000 miles per hour anywhere,” he said. “So we looked at military operating areas and saw how some fit well for the script and some didn’t. We melded the script and the locations, and we ended up flying a lot… in the Death Valley area. That was for one part of the sequence. And then we flew out of Fallon for a couple of other sequences.
The panelists recalled an instance when they had to change the production schedule and relocate when an aircraft carrier couldn’t leave the port it was docked in.
