- hungryforcodes 5y agoYeah, I know what you mean -- I guess its for film geeks.
- dmitriid 5y agoIt's 1964. No CGI. No drones. No lightweight cameras. And yet, today, such a shot is still as impossible and very rarely done.
- eXpl0it3r 5y agoWhy is it so impossible? I get that cinema cameras are a bit heavier to handle, but the trickiest part seem to be the hand-offs between walking backwards, pulling the camera up and receiving the camera on the upper floor. It's a complex shot and there isn't really that big of pay off beyond having done the shot, but it's by no means "impossible", or am I missing something here?
- dmitriid 5y ago> Why is it so impossible Because it requires imagination. And then careful planning. And then execution. In the shot, there is a crowd in the streets, there are people on balconies and in the rooms acting in concert with the camera etc. These days this is offloaded to overworked underpaid CGI artists at a second production unit.
- MikusR 5y agoMovie was filmed on lightweight handheld camera.
- kkiinnpptt 5y agoAnd the coordination with the huge crowd.
- kwhitefoot 5y agoYou surely don't have to be a film buff to appreciate the skill and artistry that went into that shot. I'm not at all a film buff but to me it is a work of art on par with other works of art regardless of medium.
- tehnub 5y agoThe first part that shocked me was when they went over the metal thing around 0:51, and then again when they went into the building. The effect they produced here without any CGI or drones is pretty amazing in my opinion.
- nickkell 5y agoIt felt like my soul was leaving my body at the end! Maybe it’s just because I don’t handle heights that well though
