Visible crew/equipment: After Doctor Strange experiments with the magical doorway in the Sanctum Sanctorum, he leaves it on a desert view and we cut to a shot panning across all the artifacts. At the very start of the shot on the right hand side of the screen is a crewmember standing in the shadows looking bored. Really blatant if you turn up the brightness, but easy enough to spot if you know what you're looking at. (00:56:00)
13th Apr 2011
Visible crew/equipment: At the end when Sidney's dad falls out of the closet, if you look closely you can see the hands of a crewmember who was in there too, pushing items out after him. (01:42:40)
12th Sep 2004
Visible crew/equipment: Towards the end, as Vicomte de Valmont is demanding a simple yes or no, there's a shot of Marquise de Merteuil in front of a mirror, slowly panning back. Just after he says "yes or no," we see a shadow/silhouette in the mirror moving, but Valmont is standing perfectly still, and no one else is in the room.
24th Jun 2004
Visible crew/equipment: Just after Dawn says "I like the trailers", we fade to black/commercials, then up again. Keep a close eye on the left side of the screen - you can see what looks like someone's hand flash into frame for a second, despite Dawn being alone in the room - looks like the director's hand signalling action. (00:25:50)
15th Jun 2004
Visible crew/equipment: When Willow and Tara are talking about Dawn, just as Willow turns around from hanging her picture to say "help?", a boom mike drops in from the top of the screen. (00:18:35)
14th Jun 2004
The Freshman - S4-E1
Visible crew/equipment: When Buffy and Xander are doing some research, check the left side of the screen in a wide shot, when Xander asks "how far back do the disappearances go?" You may need to turn the brightness up, but there's a boom mike bobbing around. (00:34:25)
14th Jun 2004
Visible crew/equipment: Near the start, just after Buffy kicks the vampire onto the roundabout, check the top left corner of the screen as she says her line - boom in shot. (00:02:35)
9th Jun 2004
Visible crew/equipment: Just after Cordelia says "let's go to the Bronze", check the top of the screen - a microphone drops into shot for Harmony's line "is that a joke?" (00:16:20)
8th Jun 2004
Out Of Mind, Out Of Sight - S1-E11
Visible crew/equipment: At the very end, as the invisible girl gets taken along a corridor by the FBI agents, check the top of the screen - a boom mike creeps in as the agent says his line, then is withdrawn.
19th Apr 2004
Visible crew/equipment: As the Oracle stands up from the bench, right at the end (after she says "Someday"), you can see a strip of yellow tape on the back of the bench marking the right place for her to sit. (01:54:40)
2nd Apr 2004
The One With Phoebe's Ex-Partner - S3-E14
Visible crew/equipment: Just after Chandler says "I'm the smallest person in the world", and Joey comes out of his room, check the top left of the screen - you can see a boom mic track Matt LeBlanc across the set, and the bottom of some stage lights in the middle. (00:14:40)
23rd Oct 2003
Visible crew/equipment: When Basil's trying to persuade Sybil about the woman in the guest's room, the shadow of a boom mic appears on the top wall.
18th Sep 2003
Visible crew/equipment: Aside from the mysterious other trooper(s) reflected in the tarpaulin on the roof near the start, as Keanu Reeves runs past it, you can see the clear silhouette and red light of a cameraman filming the scene. (00:11:30)
25th Feb 2003
The One With The Cooking Class - S8-E21
Visible crew/equipment: In The One With The Cooking Class, just after Ross gets back from his date, a boom mike is hovering over Rachel's head. (00:17:25)
11th Feb 2003
Visible crew/equipment: When Robocop visits Cain's hideout and sends his car in as a decoy, after he returns to the car, watch the driving shot closely. A wire has magically strung itself across the entrance and attached itself to the back of the car - it wasn't visible from an earlier shot. As the car drives forward it stretches the horizontal wire, and just as a tiny amount of pressure is exerted, the car explodes. Yeah, it's technically a mistake, but I think it's more worth checking out just to see how those tricky effects are achieved.
27th Aug 2001
Visible crew/equipment: As the motorbike falls from the highway, just after it explodes there's a very short wide shot of the site with Danny Glover standing by his car and a couple of guys in hard hats standing around (or running for their life). If you look right behind Danny Glover you can see two people, one in a white hat, one in a red, and one of them is holding a camera - they start moving backwards just before the end of the shot. We then see the bike blowing up, then a close up shot of Danny Glover, from the camera we've just seen. (01:30:25)
