SECOND UNIT - A team that shoots footage which is of lesser importance for the final motion picture, like scenery or establishing shots. The second unit also shoots in expensive or dangerous locations. For example, when making The World Is Not Enough, a small team with a Pierce Brosnan body double filmed in Istanbul, then used a replica set in England to shoot Pierce’s close-up scenes.
