From Monkey Peaches: "Another short TV report by China's CCTV is posted at Sina.com. It shows the shooting of a coup lead by the second oldest prince, played by singer Jay Chou. A remote-controlled "flying camera" leased from the States was used for several aerial shots." A video from Sina about the filming in the chrysanthemum fields of the army and Jay Chou." (The video is very dark and can be seen more clearly if downloaded and shown on the Windows Media Player or some other player that can be adjusted to a brighter picture.) http://www.wenweipo.com/news.phtml?news_id...70023&cat=011EN
Zhang Yimou has a company called Flying Camera to film parts of the movie by remote aerial device. In the scenes involved was the Jay Chou as general and many soldiers together. This company has received awards this year at Oscars for best cinematography and it is the only company that does this.
