Director Michael Bay is known for his visual flare, his directing style and his mastery of blockbuster film techniques. He's also known for trying new things behind the scenes and this time is no different.
The man who used ILM's computers until one had a "melt down", made us feel like we were there in Imax 3D, and handled daily work on an iPad, is now using what's becoming the next film making innovation: A high definition camera that fits in the palm of your hand.
The Novo and the Novo 2K, created by a company known as Radiant Images, are state of the art cameras in a very small form factor, capable of superior high definition, the likes of which we've become accustomed to in the Transformers film franchise.
Will this new camera allow for more up close and personal extreme action scenes? Only time will tell, and the soonest we'll find out is June 27th. 2014 when the film is released.
Until then, feel free to join the discussion and give us your thoughts.
Keep your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest in news and updates, and the best galleries around!
Michael Bay's official Flickr has updated with a ton of new photos, featuring plenty of behind the scenes pictures and perfect timing shots in stunning high definition, from the sets of Dark Of The Moon in 2011.
Unfortunately, there are no CGI shots. Just the cars, stars and crew.

The Dallas Morning News is reporting that Transformers 4 will begin shooting there in June. More specifically in the towns of Lockhart, Taylor, Elgin and Pflugerville.
A large Austin production office opened in March, but location scouting dates to November. There was initial interest in the Circuit of the Americas racetrack southeast of Austin, but instead the Austin Film Commission says the focus is on small towns that remind Bay of Robert Frank’s 1950s photos collected in the classic book The Americans.
In Taylor, 30 minutes from Austin, a police chase will close downtown and a railroad overpass, said Deby Lannen, the city’s Main Street program manager. A car will be exploded in the city’s Robinson Park. “It’s pretty exciting,” she said.
“I know there will be things exploded in Taylor for sure. Some will be physical effects, some CGI,” said Gary Bond, head of the Austin Film Commission.
Is this part of the "car chase from Hell" that we previously heard about? Only time will tell, but it's looking that way.
