I seriously think this is the best film I've ever watched. It may sound cliched, however words genuinely aren't sufficient to succinctly describe how amazing this film is
We watched this film in school as the last film of our school career. Everyone was mad when we watched it but me and my friend where the only ones who liked this movie as fuck. I cant understand the others its a greate fucking story with a good plot. Amen
It basically was an early drone. According to Emmanuel Previnaire, founder of the Flying-Cam system, "The shot was done with our crew using the Flying-Cam I Unmanned Remote helicopter. At that early age of the system we had only a fixed camera head... the shot started in front of the window with the Remote PIlot on top of the roof and flying away between the buildings." www.cinematography.com/index.php?showtopic=43731
After 20 Years ,this Rock so hard,tears in My Eyes. Best DjSet Cinematic Ever. Beats Juice or any other Hip Hop Movie. Commercial Hip Hop got Payback on showing French Set too less Respect. They all got Owned with 1 of the Best Turntable Movie Clips Ever.
You really can't mimic this shot with a drone. The way the camera ever so slightly shakes and swings as it pans, almost as if it's hanging, conveys so much more than what would be shown through a smooth or jerky shot you'd get from a drone.
Cette scene fantastique , avais anticipé ci bien le contraste croissant entre differente culture en France...la voix de Piaf comme un phantome du passé...il y a simplement du genie dans ce film.
Seen this movie 1st time when i was 13-14yrs old, im now 47, seen it atleast 20 times since and still love it! Also great to see how vincent made it to hollywood etc… ocean’s 12-13 and many other very good movies
does anyone know what record(s) he uses at the beginning? can't figure it out...even though I''ve been trying for years. So artist and title please. thanks in advance. 😉
@artysmokes From the "jump" through the window 'till the end, the camera is under a radiocontrolled helicopter. They had to modify the first pictures because originaly their were reflects of the toy in the windows. You can find this informations in the whole DVD movie "La Haine" by Kassovitch, with director's comments.
anyone know how the flying scene at the end of the clip was filmed? Dont think they had proper drones in 1995 and dont think they could have used helicopter?
It was with a remote control helicopter - probably not a quad-rotor one like we associate with the word "drone" now. Really unusual for 1994, especially for a low-budget movie! I don't know how they connected the camera to the RC helicopter, but you can see the camera roll clockwise/anticlockwise in the latter half of the shot as the helicopter banks. I'm guessing they had only a single degree of freedom with which to control the camera's angle relative to the helicopter's body - a motorised hinge, for pitching up/down - and they yawed the helicopter itself to turn left/right. So the shot starts by lowering the hinge from looking horizontally to vertically *while* the helicopter yaws its body to the right. It's a really cool look that you couldn't easily achieve with modern drones that have stabilised/gimballed camera mounts which disconnect the drone's rotation from the camera's.
