The Guardian Article
Nelson here…
Amid all the craziness this week, there is an article that talks about what a lot of us fear: speaking in front of people. Through out my life I’ve talked to artist, celebrities, politicians, sport starts, ministers, business men, and a lot of regular everyday people about talking in public, and just about everyone has a butterfly or two in their stomach. Check out the article at the link below.
The Guardian: “Michael Bay’s stagefright has done us all a favor“
Michael Bay Talks To TMZ
“Transformers director Michael Bay says his epic meltdown in Vegas yesterday might not make him popular with technology nerds … but also says it hasn’t exactly hurt him with the ladies. Bay was on “TMZ Live” explaining why he freaked out and walked off stage during a big presentation at the CES convention. It’s not like he’s never been on stage … he says he’s been front and center hundreds of times, but explains why this one was different. Here’s the deal … Samsung should kiss Michael’s ass, because now everyone’s talking about its newfangled TV.”
CES
Wow! I just embarrassed myself at CES - I was about to speak for Samsung for this awesome Curved 105-inch UHD TV. I rarely lend my name to any products, but this one is just stellar. I got so excited to talk, that I skipped over the Exec VP’s intro line and then the teleprompter got lost. Then the prompter went up and down - then I walked off. I guess live shows aren’t my thing.
But I’m doing a special curved screen experience with Samsung and Transformers 4 footage that will be traveling around the world.

From Yahoo:
I wanted the first Transformers to be very suburban and less cool,” Bay told us from the Detroit set of this fourth chapter. “This is a much more cinematic one. I focused on keeping this one slick. There won’t be any goofiness in this one. We went a bit too goofy [on the last one].
But despite Optimus’s updated design, Bay is quick to point out that this really is the fourth in an ongoing series – “reboot” is a dirty word here. “It feels like a new chapter, this movie,” he says. “But it’s not a reboot. This movie lives in the history of the ‘Transformers’ movies, and this one starts three years after the last. It feels fresh.
