Star Trek Proof!

Thanks to this weekends super bowl, there is now legitimate proof that I am in the new J.J. Abram's "Star Trek" movie. In order for me to prove this to you I'm going to have to resort back to my old blog for a bit here. On the old blog (mattmcg.wordpress.com) I made a post last March about how we shot some scenes for Star Trek on St. Patrick's Day in Los Angeles. In that post I found some pictures online that a spy had taken and posted them on the blog so everyone could see what I was describing in the blog. Those pics can now be found here:



so those are some pretty sweet pics from the shoot on st. patricks day of last year. The scene's were shot at the campus of Cal. State University - Northridge. We were told that the blue screens would be replaced with images of san francisco being blown up and we had to run toward it in fear. it sounded cool but in reality it was just me and 150 other redshirt extras running back and forth in the blistering heat 400 times a day.
But now, thanks to the super bowl, the new teaser trailer was shown and within the trailer you can see proof of the scene that i was in! you cant spot me out unless you have hawk vision or something but what you can see is the finished product. Maybe this means nothing to you but it brings a certain closure to my long day of work. It was all worth it now, the effects look great. Make sure to pause the trailer right on the scene from the pictures. its at about :19 seconds in, but it goes fast so give or take a second. try to compare the pictures to the actual image that made it to the movie. Here is the trailer:
