Movie Great Camera Tricks and Efforts

[exe ex machina]

Post ones you know about. I remember there was a Korean? film which had the longest continuous single take, and it was quite spectacular given how much action was going on thru it. Off memory was on a winding staircase....if anyone knows it or has a youtube clip of it??

Also know of Rian Johnson in Brick, where the actor lies on his back on the bed, looking up at the ceiling, and you see the ceiling fan perfectly still but the ceiling spinning round and round.....apparently one method for achieving this was placing the camera on a turntable spinning as fast as the fan.

Meanwhile how about this one...

Russian Ark.

Russian Ark is a 2002 historical drama film directed by Alexander Sokurov. It was filmed entirely in the Winter Palace of the Russian State Hermitage Museum using a single 96-minute Steadicam sequence shot.

The story isn't really my type of thing but the execution is a masterpiece in itself.

Never heard of it, so thanks for that. Gotta watch it due to that.

That single shot scene at the end of Children of Men was pretty cool.

And of course the True Detective one.

Here's how they filmed the opening credits of the original Star Wars trilogy lol:

From the comments section...

Not actually uncut. Multiple takes. Every time the camera passes a pillar is a wipe cut, a very basic filmmaking technique. I hate to ruin the magic but that's the truth.​

It's like learning there's no Santa Claus

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind did some trippy shit.

This article has that, Terminator 2 and a cool LOTR one.

No need for a stuntman and helmet if you have the cameraman filming the scene on the back of a bike....





Cameraman was hanging off the side of a car as they went flat chat and filmed the back wheel of Jim's bike.

Same as this in a way



Kevin Smith did a podcast with one of the creators it was filmed in an old meat warehouse and they ran the camera on the meat rails on the roof but they were also talking about the hidden cuts to make it seem like one take

this one always messes with me, i know there is a trick and you can see it in her sleeve but who knows how
