this is why I love theatre, when a scene ends and the light dims to the point where it's almost complete darkness and people chatter, I watch every single person on set moving stuff out and bringing stuff in and it's so mesmerising to see how a set changes so quickly in real time without fully seeing what is exactly happening
In Japan, some Kabuki plays go on for hours and hours. The sets are built on revolving stages and stage crews dressed in black (including black hoods over their faces) move set pieces on and off stage. After a while, you really don't notice them at work. I lived in the Tokyo area for two years (1966 and 1967) and attended several Kabuki performances.
That continuous room changing shot is just pure genius....timing, choreography and audio cues all done in harmony and in real time. Best thing I’ve seen for a long time 👍
@@Jan-ex3wj WHY DON'T YOU JUST ANSWER?! CAN'T MAKE OUT WTFKNG GUY IS SAYING. JESUS .. YOU'RE LIKE ONE OF THOSE MUTANTS ON AMAZON WHO ANSWER QUESTIONS WITH "I DON'T KNOW"
LOL, I feel honored that I have built many rigs for some shots you show here !!!. Very Nice. For the stairs shot you lower it while another person watching the monitor controls the gimbal tracking via remote to compensate for any spin or tilt.
Niyeev Watch the excellent video on the “Psych To Go” RU-vid Channel, titled How to Spot a Narcissist. One criteria is correction of others’ usage of grammar
I'm going to have WAY higher appreciation for camera shots after seeing all this, that was so wicked! Especially the continuous shot with the constantly changing set!
You can sometimes take out movies for free from libraries. If your local one doesn't have the movie you want, you can ask if they can get it from an other library. Blu-ray disk movies have even more behind the scene and bonus feature stuff than DVDs, so if you can play them, its worth specifying Blu-ray at your library.
Well, that's not really cocaine and also not exactly what real cocaine looks like anyways. So, maybe your brain is just more logical instead of innocent. Probably innocent though.
Really hope this becomes a thing. Not even limited to 'insane' shots, but just cinematography in general. Mood setting via colors/lighting, shot sequence for tempo, etc.
In the golden age of Hollywood, e.g even before Marilyn Monroe, some of the top actresses on deciding if they'd take a project, wanted to know who was going to be doing the lighting; not the director, not the co-stars; the lighting. I remember when I'd watch the credits to see who did the costumes. If it was Edith Head - top quality design all the way. Stunts: the Epper family.
Panda3000 im guessing the cocaines normal map was bumped up and then slide the value down to when they transition into the ground while adding the mud texture.
So the concept behind the one shot scene is that this girl who is a drug addict and has sex with punks etc. pretty much gave up on her life until she saw Mr. Pickles' kid show on TV (played by Jim Carrey). He was giving some sort of a life lesson that inspired her to change her life, so as he held the speech throughout the whole scene, she slowly changed her life as you can see. I think that's what happened, been some time since I watched it, but that's pretty much the idea behind that scene
That Contact mirror shot is fairly easy to do compared to the others. The genius is thinking it up in the first place. What a novel idea!! Every time Burgess and Zemeckis get together we see something we never imagined. That’s the first sequence that genuinely blew my mind as a kid, and started my passion for filmmaking.
Oh, hey capp! Fancy seeing you here. Haha. This has to be one of first times I have seen someone I watch commenting on a random vid. Love your content man!
Actually google is listening to you when you are talking near to your phone and analyse your messages too there is no coincidence, it's just detecting key word from what you do
The shot with the blood soakingup the coke and transitioning into themud with people running is actually from a videogame called "Tom Clancy's Ghost recon: Wildands"
Very good use of a layer mask and morph effect to blend two shots. As for it being easy in real life... powders in general doesn't absorb fluids like that.
Actually what they did I watched the behind the scenes of that shot is they were zoomed in on her in the mirror and as she got closer to the mirror they kept slowly zooming out and it looked liked like they were walking backwards
@@basiltschudi3283 You should know this that the camera and the subject can be shot at a zillion different degrees of freedom and angles 🙂. Take your phone camera. Keep a mirror exactly facing the subject on the corridor. You hold the camera and stand just a little bit back from the mirror at a 45-50° angle. Then look at your view finder screen on your phone 🙂. Tada !
The real life shots with the machineries if we're thinking a week of filming (the Imax camera used in The Dark Knight is high end of high end and goes for 16k$ a week renting it, even if we're on a budget 4-8k$ a week for a different camera is still a lot) along with crew, service people (police, medical personnel, stunt drivers, extras), paying for closing the street/whatever they're going to film on, legal fees (if needed), specialized vehicles to hold the insane cameras etc. CGI is mostly just skill/talent/knowledge and a really high hourly pay on 2-3 people max. One of those cameras could probably cover the yearly salaries of a couple CGI artists alone but it's basically a one time pay to get the equipment forever. Sure, you could probably rent one of those cameras which is normal but even that is more expensive than one CGI artist doing one week of work. Let's say CGI comes into play after a day of filming with a crew, nothing out of the ordinary and with one of the cameras they own which split over the course of the production would equal to an insignificant amount for the hypothetical week we're talking about but throwing in 1000$ to be sure. That week would probably end up costing about 10k$ which is nothing compared to one of those intense action scenes which also very often requires some form of CGI work on top of that.
@@T3n50r CGI has surprising costs as well. For VERY high end CGI studios need to rent out rendering time from huge server farms and that gets costly. Plus all the licensing and stuff for the specialized software.
EVERYTHING BUT the weatherman changed. That was amazing. Quick, planned, rehearsed, etc. For that perfect video shot without cutting and saving what could be months of filming into a few minutes.
That continious shot where the room changed 6 times has to be my favourite one. That was insane! the post editting to cut out all that noise too is just.... wow.
"...not depressed like I was..." dude, you were literally reading my mind there. I was in the middle of a bad altercation in my workplace and decided to retreat to the sanctity of RU-vid; stumbled into this video, and had my mind as well as my depression blown away, then and there. Cheers!
If you like continuous shots, the funeral home wake scene from Haunting of Hill House isn't as dynamic but moves through multiple rooms and through conversations with a ton of characters and is pretty intense to watch
I gotta give you props for the narration of this. I was listening while at work unable to watch then when I watched later I noticed I was able to visualize what you were seeing before even seeing it!
That run to the mirror seems like it was a REAL tight on the mirror and a PAINFULLY SLOW pan out. It was amazingly brilliant!!! I know it's probably NOT that, but that's insane...
I'm betting the same thing, but at the end of the pan, there was a slight angle adjustment/turn on the dolly to allow room for the actress to access the cabinet, then they would have had to have edited it all out in post. Sometimes it's the most simplest of solutions, but we think there's some insane CGI because we forget how good and how far editing has come in the photography/film making industry.
@@seanmcconnachie4353 "Film" does not only refer to narrative genre movies. It refers also to documentary and news broadcast... Essentially almost any use of cameras and editing deem a person to be a Filmmaker. Look at the early years, Edison, the Lumiere brothers... Still considered to be filmmakers, even though the majority of their works included mundane and simple things like a shot of a train pulling into a station, or workers leaving from a building. Also, film editors, animators, writers, etc. All of them are considered filmmakers, not just directors. Directors are an important part of the process, absolutely. But without the writer, there is no story. Without the story, there is no film. Without footage, there is nothing to edit. Basically, every part of making a film is as essential as every other. So, it is wrong to say that only the Director of the film is a filmmaker. Technically, vlogging is another form of Documentary FIlmmaking. Which still makes Peter a filmmaker.
I wish you had linked the videos in the description. I'm pretty sure I've seen the movie poster one before and there IS a part where they show the behind the scenes.
6:49 I think *Corridor Crew* (a group of VFX artists who also have a YT channel) reacted to that scene in one of their episodes and tried to explain how it was made.Of course,they don't know exactly either but their guesses seem to be pretty good.
Wow, full credit to all those people involved in those clips, making movies is a hard life, long hours, lots of being away from home, sometimes working sometimes not, and the demands on body and brain pushing boundaries to get the'shot'. As a kid I wanted to get involved in movies but I stuck to theatre and stage. Wish now that I had gone outside my comfort zone and at least tried it for a while.
If you’re a fan of long takes check out Netflix’s Haunting of Hill house. There’s on episode with only 6 cuts. It is truly a cinematic feat! The story and characters are also incredible! Highly recommended!
Alfred Hitchcocks "Rope" is one continuous shot, I believe it was the first film to do so. There are invisible cuts in the film but that is purely to do with the film running out, so they specifically put in shots where the film could be replaced and the next take could continue seamlessly from the last one. "Russian Ark" is actually a true one continuous shot, there is literally zero cuts, it is one 80 minute shot.
The continuous apartment shot is well thought out by showing elapse of time with the puppy size (x3), tube TV to a flatscreen, and the plant growth (x3 bigger plant).
The legend There’s a Movie by Alfred Hitchcock, “The Rope”, it has only 3 or 4 cuts and it was only because of the 30 min. limit the film camera had at those times.
@@stevenglikin3219 Buying a camera does not make you a filmmaker. I'm a photographer, and I refer to myself as a photographer and not a filmmaker even though I did use my Gear to make videos as well - I'm just not trained and experienced in that, so I'm no filmmaker!
I have heard your name many times before through various vloggers but never searched myself , this is the first time your video has just popup and literally I am not disappointed.
For the Contact scene, the run looks weird because she's running in place and the crew people are moving walls beside her and then the camera moves to the edge of the mirror at the end and then she actually goes to grab it.
The mirror scene is done by aiming the camera at the mirror on a slight angle so the camera is not in the frame. The camera is zoomed in on the girl in the mirror and as the girl runs closer to the mirror the camera zooms out until the girl walks past the camera and opens the mirror cabinet. No editing it is all one shot. (The reason the girl is running so awkwardly is because the director or camera crew would have been telling her to speed up or slow down to keep her in the frame whilst zooming out.) Did this in video making course. pretty cool
I think they put the mirror and cabinet on rails moving it with the camera on, but moving it slower than the girl runs, so she catches up. Maybe why it looks weird when she is running
@@0wen.42 No that can't be how it's done, as you can see a different perspective from the hallway. It actually looks like the camera is in the hallway as opposed to zooming into it from outside. You can tell when the camera moves past the doorway.
I love your enthusiasm and passion for this. I think these shots are incredible, too, but your awe and excitement for them are pretty darn inspiring. I am genuinely interested in seeing more behind the scenes videography videos now. Thanks for sharing!
"We can be teaching a lot more stuff!?!" :D :D :D Loved that line! It's so nice to see even high professionals being amazed from other types of hard work, creativity, and execution.
I'm not saying it would be easy... But you possibly could be able to overlay or mask and blend the ground into the cocaine for the shot morph and then blend the colors down during the transition. It would be damn tricky, but I'm willing to bet it could be done. Cheaper to CG probably. (and it obviously fooled a bunch of film-heads)
