I hate when they do that. Why not just turn the computer on and film the actual screen? I don't understand.
The frame rate of the camera, and the refresh rate of the monitor are different, so you typically get severe strobing. Time was you needed to spend a lot of money on special 24fps monitors to be able to film them properly. Putting an overlay on them is much easier, and cheaper.
Also, having people act while looking at a blank screen is easier than having to reset the cool animation every time, so that it matches the dialogue, and any continuity across different takes.
James Bond could use an iPhone. Of course Q has to jailbreak it to run useful spy apps, and then Apple patches over it and oh what a mess.
Not really. Just use Xcode and install the app directly onto the phone. That is a FREE option with Apple. Besides, you don't want to distribute secret spying apps through AppStore, for pete's sake!
This is something you don't see everyday. Impressive, not easy to turn down 50M to use a phone. Glad they stuck to some higher principles, like not wanting to tarnish the Bond image.
They used the Sony phone in the film, so I guess they didn't stick to some higher principles.
I know at first Seamaster Ocean. I thought earlier it was Rolex. Anyway, my point was that classy stuffs and then cheap crap android don't blend.
Some guys came in posting the most expensive watches and stuffs. Who cares. No one said Bond wore the most expensive stuffs...Some people just don't think when they read. BTW, Aston Martin is not the most expensive car either...Understand, people?
While I haven't seen the movie yet, it looks like Sony did put up enough "bribery" money. I just saw the next "Spectre" commercial... sponsored by Sony for the Experia.
Knowing Bond is using an Android phone (to me) just diminishes the brand value of the Bond franchise.
What is interesting and annoying to me is the mismatch of devices and the information they display in movies and on TV. For example, I've seen Macs running Windows, PCs running Mac OSs, both devices running fake programs, and everything in between. Regarding smartphones, Dallas (2012) had a mixture of mismatched smartphones and the sounds they make. You'd hear Apple ringtones coming from non-Apple devices and vice versa. Recently, there was an episode of The Middle showing what appears to be an HP laptop running OS X. Last season, there was another episode where Frankie was laying in bed using an old Windows laptop with a 4:3 aspect ratio screen, but the video overlay was a recent version of OS X. I guess the producers generally gather up any hardware they can find and use stock video overlays without regard to what is actually correct.
Yes - the computers, phones and electronics are not always completely authentic like the car chases, fight scenes and conversations are...
It's funny how people complaint about "what they know" when watching TV. For you (and me sometimes) its the computer scenes. For my niece, it's the dance scenes (i.e. Those are totally the wrong shoes for that kind of dancing...she did the pirouette COMPLETELY wrong...etc)
For me, it's always how whatever piece of information they're trying to "hack" off of a PC. When they are successful, the information they are after is the ONLY piece of information displayed - and it's in big bold information right in the center of the screen.
I decided long ago, the shows are much more enjoyable to just ignore the inaccuracies or chuckle under my breath, let them slide and follow the story.
Took kids to see James Bond yesterday. What a load of rubbish.... Totally lost what it used to be... The toys where better in the early years.. That was the appeal to the audience and its gone. The writers and Directors have lost it. The great British icon as been turned into a standard serious but boring movie. Spooks is a better watch now than that . For something as big as James Bond then they should be ashamed of what they have made.. A seriously good film. Better story and spot on action was Sicario. Set in Mexico the same. In fact I'm going to watch it again at 12 noon today because got time out. Bond as made its money in my opinion through hype only because people are made to believe its the one to watch... The acting was spot on.. The movie as gone
Paid for product placement is hilarious. ho would buy anything from Samsung after the slaughter in Jurassic World, "Let me check the tracking on my Galaxy Gear, aaaaaaaargh" Nom Nom Nom.

Set dressers, low pay, place the dummy computers. Highly paid and more educated special effects post production technicians do the video effects of the computer display. <img alt="" class="lightbox-enabled" data-id="64877" data-type="61" src="http://forums.appleinsider.com/content/type/61/id/64877/width/350/height/700/flags/LL" style="; width: 350px; height: 263px">

It seriously degrades my ability to suspend disbelief and focus on the story when the production team showcases such ignorance of reality. Especially if I'm not watching scifi, which I expect to have ludicrous techno garbage portrayed. I don't like fantasy unless I'm specifically prepared for it. Flashy graphics and fictional technology (especially holographic nonsense) feels like I'm being forced to watch advertising or techno porn.

Omega isn't the most expensive, (actually priced comparable to Rolex) and I prefer them over Rolex which is how I knew it's what James Bond wears of late. You are correct in that he did wear Rolex early on.
While Sony may be my favorite design-wise for Android phones, Android on it still makes it lipstick on a pig, and u very well know that.
What's wrong with Android? Have you ever used a Vanilla Android device? Lollipop runs flawlessly on Nexus devices. And the Xperia is very close to clean Android.
I switched from iPhone to Galaxy devices in 2013 and have never looked back. Using and enjoying an s6 edge now

The Z4 is far superior to any iPhone and is a $700 flagship device.
I appreciate the fact that Sony made it waterproof, but sorry dude, this is where its "superiority" ends, and your delusions begin.
And I am not even talking about the lag that Sony/Google notoriously unable to fix despite of the dedicated "butter" projects.

In Spectre, Bond does indeed use a Sony Xperia Z5 'Made for Bond' Edition!

Ah, back to trolling again, I see.
He's something for you to peruse: http://www.smashinglists.com/20-most-expensive-watches/
Hmm... What's that at #18? Wait... Where's the Rolex?
What is your point? no one said Bond wore most expensive stuffs in the world. You need to check it with King of Brunei or Some tycoons in Dubai.
On the other hand he didn't resist being in Heineken commercials, so, i think not enough money was the problem.
