(4/4) One more blocking and camera move breakdown from Steven Spielberg's Munich for today. This shot is truly insane. Essentially 6 "shots" in 1 (or rather compositions) As to how they did the dolly move in a car (My guess the car was split in half and flown in... show more

I feel there's a subtle cut as the pic is passed back to Bana. Two separate shots made to look like one! Might be wrong...

Crane arm w/head moves in, then the camera on the head pans left while the arm moves back out of the car again. That’s my guess.

Scott Jeschke1 year ago

ah, yeah, an arm is a good guess.

excellent explanation of the masterwork by #Spielberg and #JanuszKamiński

Thanks so much 🙏

Munich is an underrated masterpiece

This is a really visually exciting movie

Agreed

Great breakdowns but instead of giving all the credit to Spielberg, the same (or more actually) should be given to the DP. He did shoot the movie after all, not the Director.

Thanks. Kaminski is the master! He deserves all credit for lighting etc. But these videos are about blocking And its relation to the camera, which is the director's job, and in this case, Spielberg. Kaminski executes that vision for sure, but so do 100 crew members, So at a certain point it just gets too granular to shout out everyone for their contribution

Another great bit of blocking, staging, and subtle camera movement in Steven Spielberg's A.I. Artificial Intelligence to continually reshape this moving master shot. Arguably six unique compositions in one. What I always love about these shots is the way in which they are intentionally telling an evolving story. This film often uses perpendicularly connected room layouts to enable a number of these kinds of evolving shots. Love it. A.I.

This blocking and camera movement breakdown is from Steven Spielberg's Minority Report. This one's a little different because it's a steadicam shot so the compositions flow very quickly at times. I don't like to call ALL of Spielberg's multi-composition shots oners because, typically, they are just old-school blocking, staging and cam movement. Actor's moving at specified dramatic blocks, and the camera moving to reframe for unique compositions, that these day's would more likely be broken into shots on most films. This one could arguably be called a oner though since it's a full scene in one continuous shot. I count 11 compositions in this steadicam shot.

New blocking and staging breakdown of THIS SHOT from Steven Spielberg's, THE FABELMANS, which has arguably 9 unique compositions or "shots" in 1. It's one of the most complex shots in The Fabelman's, which overall leans a little simpler in the way of staging and camera work than Spielberg's other films. But what I love about this shot is the way in which it tells a story. In this one shot, both of Logan's lovers now see him in a new light, and suddenly, Sammy's girlfriend has a reignited interest in him because his film brought down the house. We also see Logan's feelings of being a fraud from his rejection of his pals. It's old-fashioned but really lovely storytelling through old-school blocking.

3rd Breakdown of Steven Spielberg's blocking, camera movement, and staging in Munich. This one is fascinating because he uses the car to dolly, the lens to zoom, and Eric Bana's blocking to stitch 4 shots into 1. It's so low tech but it's exquisite. It's also a reminder to throw out the rules. I don't think it's natural to crouch beside a car, but it works because it looks great. This of course might be a negotiation with your actors, as the blocking needs to feel truthful for them to sell it, but IMO sometimes it's okay to just make a shot look cool. #FilmTwitter #spielberg

Another example of Steven Spielberg's incredible camera placement, blocking and staging in Munich. In this moving master, he combines six shots in one and makes it look obvious and effortless. #spielberg #FilmTwitter #directing

Here's a fun one. 4 compositions in 1 shot in Steven Spielberg's Minority Report. I like this shot for how it utilizes depth. It's all pans, tilts and focus pulls. There are no zooms, tracks, etc, and yet it's dynamic and tells the story in a really effective way. We don't see Anderton's face, and yet we picture it so clearly. It's so simple but very smartly conceived. God bless the focus puller though! By the way, with these breakdowns, I know I'm far from the first to talk about these multi-composition shots/ blocking and camera work from Spielberg. I'm not presuming to be. And I'm fairly certain every notable director ever has studied these shots for years, as I have. It's nothing new. For me, it's simply an exercise in dissecting it for myself and understanding the shots better. I'm not saying that the shots were necessarily constructed/conceived in the exact way they are deconstructed. I'm just having fun, and sharing for those who are also curious.

Been wanting to do another one of these blocking and staging breakdowns for weeks now. Here's a shot that I've always marveled at this shot from Steven Spielberg's HOOK. With blocking, staging and camera movement Spielberg manages to combine 11 compositions or what I'll call here "Shots" into one shot. What's amazing about this shot is that most people probably wouldn't even notice. And that's a good thing. It's no surprise he went on to make multiple 3D movies, because he really is a master of depth. There's some dollying and by my count, one zoom, but otherwise, this shot is entirely conceived by his use of pan, tilts, actor movement and rack focusing. It's a masterclass in using depth as a tool for storytelling. And on that note, what's so incredible about this shot is how purposeful each composition is in telling the emotional story. As annotated in pink. Hoping to do some non-Spielberg ones soon too, but it's hard to resist because, even though many came before him, I think he's truly the master of this old-school type of blocking and staging.

Martin Scorsese says maybe there is still some gas left in him to do one more film with Daniel Day-Lewis. “We did 2 films together and it’s one of the greatest experiences of my life… maybe there’s time for one more.”

Priorities is my first 3d film which was finished in 2014 when I was 19. I wanted to move the camera and to create these extended, immersive shots which I couldn't do in hand-drawn animation. There are only 4 shots in this 9 minute film.

for “Interstellar” Steven Spielberg was attached to direct in 2006 and hired Jonathan Nolan to write script, but he chose to go with other projects. In 2012, after Spielberg's departure, Jonathan suggested project to brother Nolan and the rest is history.

It’s pretty wild how you can basically take any 30 second sequence from Munich and make the argument that it’s one of the best things Steven Spielberg has ever put to film

DID YOU KNOW the one major difference between Steven Spielberg's 2005 remake of War Of The Worlds and Orson Wells original is that in Spielberg's version - the aliens come from beneath the earth. 👉🏼 **NOTE: in this scene - where the aliens make their first appearance - Spielberg hid 3 simultaneous Antichrist subliminal messages - timed perfectly for the moment in the movie where light goes to dark = Christ replaced by satan.

NEW: The one and only Dolly Parton was in attendance for opening day at Dollywood today! Thousands of people - young and not-as-young - lined the paths of the Pigeon Forge theme park to get a glimpse as the legendary singer and Dreamer-In-Chief rode by in the homecoming parade. It was great to see Dolly back out and about, even answering questions on stage and talking about all of the things coming to Dollywood and beyond this year. She is truly one of the best there is. 🦋

If you ever encountered "friends" who lived or grew up like this, they usually went one of two ways, in my experience: like this guy (by the end) who doesn't think twice about lending his buddy a car, OR they're just trying to lord it over you in some "better than thou" fashion. Nothing ever in between. But that "ranch" is next-level kind of cool. Pastures for the livestock, chickens and ducks, a full "car" barn garage loaded to the hilt with outstanding rides, housing quarters for the staff and guests, and is just completely beyond some of our wildest dreams. Bitcoin money? Oil barons? What's your best guess?
