- pedrocr 7y agoInfinity focus for the moon I'm sure and special rigs for Barry Lyndon apparently: http://neiloseman.com/barry-lyndon-the-full-story-of-the-famous-f0-7-lenses/ http://neiloseman.com/barry-lyndon-the-full-story-of-the-fam... I also remember reading somewhere the actors had a bad time from having to make sure to stand still to not go out of focus. 4cm of depth of field isn't much.
- twic 7y agoOne of the articles about it mentions that Kubrick directed the scene so that the actors only moved from side to side, so they'd stay in focus.
