I‘m liking that there‘s such an attention to detail this time. This all does favor the director and I am optimistic we‘ll get some good and long extras with the dvd for the first time since CR.
It's a very stylised BTS clip, and yes, the colours and what we can make out of Fukunaga's direction, make it look very interesting.
The clappeboard we see is dated 6 May and has scene number 81B, which maybe the nightclub scene shown immediately after we see the clapperboard, it maybe misdirection. At 39 seconds into the BTS video that is, IMHO, clearly Lashana 'bumping' into DC. At 45 seconds Lashana appears in the video screens Fukunaga is looking at and she appears to be in a house (Bond's house?), and then we actually see Lashana in the same house, but apparently sitting down.
If Bond is meeting Lashana for the first time in that nightclub scene, and that is scene 81B, then that would come very shortly after a daylight filming scene, which was scene 78. The second Bond25 clapperboard we saw was scene 78 and that was dated 28 April. https://twitter.com/007/status/1122604951740518400
In Casino, Scene 78 is at 45 minutes 55 seconds, when the sprinkler system is activated at Miami airport during the attempted bombing attack. There is only about 10-15 seconds between the two scenes.
In Casino Royale, scene 81, there is no B, is where Villiers tells M that the Skyfleet plane is being unveiled at Miami airport, and this comes 45 minutes and 40 seconds into the film.
In Spectre, scene 81, there is no 81B, is where Q is looking at his laptop on the cable car and he is analysing the Spectre ring. This is much later in the film than scene 81 in Casino, it is at 1 hour, 9 minutes and about 35 seconds. In Spectre scene 78 is when Bond meets Madeleine in the Hoffler Klinik.
I think what is becoming clear is that Madeleine is not in Jamaica with Bond. Unless they have cleverly secreted her away in the corner of the night club and Bond was going to get them both drinks, but I doubt it.
Yep, It feels more like Casino with the quick cuts than Skyfall.
Madeleine was very clear Bond had to choose her or the spy life. Bond will have to do it behind her back. Maybe she is at the Bungalow or still works at the Klinik.

I am not entirely convinced that's Lashana in those scenes, unless she changed hairstyles and got a nose job...

Black, orange and pale blues - looks great! I'm guessing it's tha palette for Jamaica and perhaps Cuba.
What is the pistol Bond is holding when we see him through the blinders? The silencer looks enormous.
It makes me think he will be a much better director than Mendez. Mendez had good cinemaphotography, but he used that Sepia filter over Mexico.
It wasn't just Mexico, it was the entirely of Spectre. And I'd say it was more yellow than sepia, which is an orange-brown colour that gives things a more antique look. You can really see the yellow in the snow scenes. These new colours look so much more exciting, and I hope the final film will look this good.
That was a great little montage. It's not surprising that those clips look visually stunning. We know Linus Sandgren is a brilliant DP and Fukunaga (who has also worked as a DP) is known for having a great feel for visuals. Check out the first season of True Detective. The visuals and cinematography are terrific and a key element in how that nourish story is told. It will be interesting to see if there is a long, single take continuous tracking shot in Bond 25. Beasts of No Nation is also outstanding visually. Throw in that the film is being shot on film in Panavison with some scenes in IMAX 70 it should really be amazing from a visual standpoint.

Me too, the forheads and hairlines don’t match...
Those two features don't match, but the rest of their faces look very alike. Could this one be a stunt woman or a filming double?
The speargun reminds me of TB and LTK. Has anyone compared these images of the gun and the woman with the high hair With previous set photos?

Like Fukanaga, Linus Sandgren is also experienced with long single takes. Here's the one he won an Oscar for: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waTDxRZ93Qc , so I agree it would be great if one appeared in Bond 25.
That clip is the first thing that has really gotten me excited for Bond 25. As others have mentioned, it’s nice to see some color again!
And as always, Craig looks much better in motion than in stills. He moves with a very distinctive swagger that annoyed me years ago, but now I associate it with Bond so I like it. )

The description of the video does state Lashana Lynch on set - if that's not her then where is Lynch featured?

I thought there had already been photos of her on set with that wig bit added on? She looks exactly the same in both those pictures...?
Yes, that's what I ment by previous set photos. I wasn't sure it was the same person, but I knew it was the same character. I actually prefer that hairstyle on her.
Can anyone find the photos of Craig, the speargun, the fsh and the cat? Please
Very cool! Really loving the look of everything so far! I did think for a sec I had opened the wrong vid and was watching a Vietnam movie with that slow motion helicopter in front of the sunset at the start )

Yeah it's great: it's really well-shot for a featurette.

Although does anyone else think it looks like Bond is doing his hero walk through a Star Trek movie?

I discuss scene 78 and its Casino Royale and Spectre counterparts here;

I'm gonna go with 2 different characters who are both black women.

At least we know for sure that Bond wears those Vuarnets now: not just Craig!
