Alfred Hitchcock films would be agony to that crowd. The opening shot for his film "Rope" clocks in at about 9 and a half minutes. All in a single shot!

- SippinLean 6y agoOpening shot? That movie only had one shot ;)
- klodolph 6y agoSeveral shots, planned out carefully so it could be edited to look like one shot. Russian Ark (2002) (Russian: Русский ковчег) is a single 96-minute steadicam shot, and it has over 2,000 actors and three orchestras in it. It was recorded directly to a hard drive carried behind the camera operator, which could hold 100 minutes.
- SippinLean 6y agothus the winking emoji. thank you for reminding me that I need to watch Russian Ark again though!
- IndySun 6y agoAnd then watch the 'making of'. Also fascinating.
- IndySun 6y agoIt was shot in segments but edited to look like one shot. Back then, there were no such studio cameras to continuously record to film reels over a certain length.
- doc_gunthrop 6y agoThe film camera magazine had a capacity of up to 10 minutes, so Hitchcock could film the scene all in one shot.
