Team America: World Police, Camera Test Helicopter

original movie prop

This is a Team America helicopter that was used to test various ways of shooting the film with miniatures. They basically just stuck it on a rod (see the gold-colored tube placed in the bottom of it that the rod would be inserted into) and then 'flew' it in between the camera and a test (or maybe final) backdrop to see how believable it would look. They also appeared to be playing with different designs of the Team America font. The Team America helicopter is a Black Hawk UH-60 I believe.
In this image you can DP Bill Pope conducting a similar test over a flat print of Paris to see how believable it would look. This is not the same helicopter I have, but you get the idea of what they were doing. (And it looked convincing enough because this is how they shot the scenes flying over Paris.)
