tec Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Bit of a simple topic but there are enough film nerds here to hopefully make it worthwhile. What are your favourite steadicam shots? Though I didn't think much of the film itself this from Atonement is quite special. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5dqmUgu0SI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zaphod Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 [youtubehd]iiXtFyZqvQQ[/youtubehd] searching for that led me to a weird charlie rose interview with pta circa boogie nights. he seems totally different in this. coked up or super neurotic or something.

Though I didn't think much of the film itself this from Atonement is quite special. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5dqmUgu0SI I loved Atonement and that scene was a great use of steadicam. Joe Wright's cinematography in Pride and Prejudice is absolutely lovely too, lot of ridiculously gorgeous shots in terms of lighting and there's a neat steadicam shot concluding one of the ball scenes. you're talking about that single shot where he runs past the tank and gets the baby rite? That part was great, especially as a realistic battle scene, but for me the whole car attack scene takes the cake. I mean, just, FUCK! Spoiler because the sceenshot is a bit revealing plot wise.

joshuatxuk Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Whoa! Apparently there's a steadicam scene archive, sorted by film and cinematographer: http://www.steadishots.org/ Found it when I was looking for examples from Full Metal Jacket, which are far shorter than those in Children of Men but similar in effectiveness as battle scenes.

granty Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 This is the one that blows my mind - imagine the logistics involved in getting this together. I realised after watching this a few times that they do a circular lap of the kitchen for no reason whatsoever, even though it's meant to be a shortcut into the club: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pennywise Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 That's something I'd watch in a film and not notice. Pretty impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshuatxuk Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 One of my favorite shots is in Empire of Sun, where Jim arrives at the camp/airfield, but I can't find it on youtube. This one is fucking epic, as is the whole film and Coppola himself has a neat cameo (one of the few clever/tasteful cameos in a movie): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braintree Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I always liked the scene in Alien 3 where they were trying to trap the alien, and the camera was from the alien's perspective. Looked really cool when it would shift to the ceiling and along the wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
