...and to top it off, this massive 90lbs 3D camera Steadicam rig was operated by Larry McConkey, at that time 61 years old. The camera system was so heavy, he had to rent a stronger Steadicam arm, a GPI PRO ARM, since his own, a Tiffen G70X, couldn't carry the weight. But even the PRO couldn't handle the weight completely, despite having the springs tensioned to their maximum mark.

That's pretty wild. I wonder what it was that made it all so heavy!

[@priyeshpv]

​​​​@@nicolasdimatteo3356As I said, it was a 3D camera system which consisted of two massive Arri Alexa cameras mounted on a Vince Pace 3D rig. Together with four batteries, two lenses, the Steadicam's sled, arm and Walter Klassen vest you end up with that insane weight. Nowadays it would be a bit different as the latest Arri Alexa 35 is just a fraction of those older camera's size and weight. You could therefore use a smaller and lighter 3D rig and Steadicam.

A good director doesn't make great movies, a good director makes the movie great

[@Mehmehx]

jesus, really cool. Also love the fact of how much light they use to then underexpose the scene, beautiful

[@torretacosmica]

In part, it is necessary to achieve a small diaphragm and a large depth of field. Imagine adding to the complexity of the sequence shot the difficulty of focus precisely because the diaphragm is very open...

i gotta be a part of stuff like this someday even if its grabbing them water bottles

Watch the boom, kids. That's how you swing.

[@OldshoeFilmsProductions]

Best booming ever.

I love the one single shot

[@JamesOversteer]

This is amazing

[@nicolasdimatteo3356]

Incredible.

[@Snapshot3]

amazing

[@CharlieCanfield]

i'm curious about the very end, where the camera stops shooting and veers off, but the push in on the automaton continues, dimensionally, to a low angle, so it's not an optical zoom. CG blend? (don't recall what follows in the actual movie; that might reveal more.)

[@TeddyEdy93]

Most probably a CG Blend... I think half of the movie is CGI. Even the begining of this shot is a mix of real/CGI. After that push in, the movie fades to black and credits

[@WuddupDok]

Super cool.

[@sunlightfilms5222]

great job....

[@niemandschuldet]

Just WOW!!

[@terryvideo]

that's sick

[@marinadela1361]

No! That's healthy.

The track ends before the window opening but still there is no jerk in the go pro fixed on the head of the DP?

[@MrScotty7100]

In all reality yes to a degree. All cameras are on the 3d Steadicam operator, a great deal of work. Larry McConkey

Interesant.

[@KeaneAddict]

But how do they go thru a window when there's no window there at the start?

[@TeddyEdy93]

+Wayne Thomson The window doesn't exist, it's digitally added in postproduction just like the rest of the backround covered by the green screen
