00:00Spider-Man, Spider-Man, the greatest superhero that there was.

00:06I was actually just taking my motorcycle theory test, but thought I'd come down to see what's

00:12happening.

00:13We are on the edge of Bothwell Street, we've come down here because Spider-Man is filming

00:18at the moment.

00:19Both of us are kind of interested in film-making anyway, and so we're here with cameras.

00:25We've just come to see if we can catch a little glimpse of them filming.

00:29It looks like they're setting something up just now.

00:31It's cool to see all the New York stuff lying around, all the NYPD and NYFD and your man

00:38Tam Holland, he's kicking about.

00:40It's very exciting, there's a good wee buzz about the place.

00:43It looks like they're going to film some stunts, they've got a tank and some kind of riggings

00:47and stuff set up, so hopefully.

00:50I'm a filmmaker myself, so it's always cool to see the big productions, what they have

00:55in place in terms of equipment, organisation, all that sort of stuff.

00:59I've seen the movies, I'm not particularly fussed on it, but I kind of like that genre

01:04of stuff, yeah.

01:05Spider-Man is my favourite superhero, I don't like superheroes, or the films really.

01:11Yeah, I think it's really good, I think hopefully, as you were saying, both of us are interested

01:16in maybe going into that kind of filmmaking career, so hopefully it'll open up opportunities

01:22and stuff.

01:23It is great, Glasgow's a great place to use as a location for this kind of stuff.

01:27They just need to hire local people, don't ship in London crews over and over again.

01:33The London and L.A. crews coming in is a bit of a bummer.

01:37But the Spider-Man's cool, it's always been my thing.

01:42I don't know if this is going to be a Tony Stark, pure cyber spider suit, because I'm

01:47not into that.

01:48I like the universe where the spider comes down and bites him.

01:53I don't know too much about this one, but I know that a lot of people that I'm friends

01:57with are also interested in getting into filmmaking, and you kind of work your way up on it, and

02:01so people are able to get into marshalling positions and the lowest stuff, but if you want

02:06to be doing anything, like the stuff that's over there, the bigger things, you just don't

02:12get hired because you live nearby.

02:14You have to have been entrenched in the industry for so long, and it's not easy for people

02:19like us to just step in like that.

02:21I like the Spider-Man gets bit by a spider and becomes Spider-Man.

02:26I've seen some stuff, obviously you need to take it with a pinch of salt, but I've seen

02:29that it has been a lot of L.A. based crews for this one that have been brought in, which

02:34makes sense if they've worked on previous projects, but at the same time it is a bit

02:38of a bummer not to hire people from here.

02:41That was great.

02:43So let's see.

02:44Okay.

02:45I think I'll see you all right.

02:48I'll see you later at the end of the show.

02:49I'm getting sent to the show.

02:50OK.

02:51The.

02:52Father.

02:53How about what I am?

02:54Well, Forty.

02:55Good-bye.

02:56Have you engaged?

02:57Good-bye.

02:58Good-bye.

02:59Do you meet the limits?

03:00Good-bye.

03:01Good-bye.

03:04Are you ready?

03:05Are you ready?

03:06Are you ready?
