this is why I love theatre, when a scene ends and the light dims to the point where it's almost complete darkness and people chatter, I watch every single person on set moving stuff out and bringing stuff in and it's so mesmerising to see how a set changes so quickly in real time without fully seeing what is exactly happening
In Japan, some Kabuki plays go on for hours and hours. The sets are built on revolving stages and stage crews dressed in black (including black hoods over their faces) move set pieces on and off stage. After a while, you really don't notice them at work. I lived in the Tokyo area for two years (1966 and 1967) and attended several Kabuki performances.

I'm going to have WAY higher appreciation for camera shots after seeing all this, that was so wicked! Especially the continuous shot with the constantly changing set!
Oh, hey capp! Fancy seeing you here. Haha. This has to be one of first times I have seen someone I watch commenting on a random vid. Love your content man!
In the golden age of Hollywood, e.g even before Marilyn Monroe, some of the top actresses on deciding if they'd take a project, wanted to know who was going to be doing the lighting; not the director, not the co-stars; the lighting. I remember when I'd watch the credits to see who did the costumes. If it was Edith Head - top quality design all the way. Stunts: the Epper family.
Well, that's not really cocaine and also not exactly what real cocaine looks like anyways. So, maybe your brain is just more logical instead of innocent. Probably innocent though.
You can sometimes take out movies for free from libraries. If your local one doesn't have the movie you want, you can ask if they can get it from an other library. Blu-ray disk movies have even more behind the scene and bonus feature stuff than DVDs, so if you can play them, its worth specifying Blu-ray at your library.
Really hope this becomes a thing. Not even limited to 'insane' shots, but just cinematography in general. Mood setting via colors/lighting, shot sequence for tempo, etc.
That Contact mirror shot is fairly easy to do compared to the others. The genius is thinking it up in the first place. What a novel idea!! Every time Burgess and Zemeckis get together we see something we never imagined. That’s the first sequence that genuinely blew my mind as a kid, and started my passion for filmmaking.
Panda3000 im guessing the cocaines normal map was bumped up and then slide the value down to when they transition into the ground while adding the mud texture.
The shot with the blood soakingup the coke and transitioning into themud with people running is actually from a videogame called "Tom Clancy's Ghost recon: Wildands"
Very good use of a layer mask and morph effect to blend two shots. As for it being easy in real life... powders in general doesn't absorb fluids like that.

Actually google is listening to you when you are talking near to your phone and analyse your messages too there is no coincidence, it's just detecting key word from what you do
The real life shots with the machineries if we're thinking a week of filming (the Imax camera used in The Dark Knight is high end of high end and goes for 16k$ a week renting it, even if we're on a budget 4-8k$ a week for a different camera is still a lot) along with crew, service people (police, medical personnel, stunt drivers, extras), paying for closing the street/whatever they're going to film on, legal fees (if needed), specialized vehicles to hold the insane cameras etc. CGI is mostly just skill/talent/knowledge and a really high hourly pay on 2-3 people max. One of those cameras could probably cover the yearly salaries of a couple CGI artists alone but it's basically a one time pay to get the equipment forever. Sure, you could probably rent one of those cameras which is normal but even that is more expensive than one CGI artist doing one week of work. Let's say CGI comes into play after a day of filming with a crew, nothing out of the ordinary and with one of the cameras they own which split over the course of the production would equal to an insignificant amount for the hypothetical week we're talking about but throwing in 1000$ to be sure. That week would probably end up costing about 10k$ which is nothing compared to one of those intense action scenes which also very often requires some form of CGI work on top of that.
@@T3n50r CGI has surprising costs as well. For VERY high end CGI studios need to rent out rendering time from huge server farms and that gets costly. Plus all the licensing and stuff for the specialized software.
Actually what they did I watched the behind the scenes of that shot is they were zoomed in on her in the mirror and as she got closer to the mirror they kept slowly zooming out and it looked liked like they were walking backwards
@@basiltschudi3283 You should know this that the camera and the subject can be shot at a zillion different degrees of freedom and angles 🙂. Take your phone camera. Keep a mirror exactly facing the subject on the corridor. You hold the camera and stand just a little bit back from the mirror at a 45-50° angle. Then look at your view finder screen on your phone 🙂. Tada !
So the concept behind the one shot scene is that this girl who is a drug addict and has sex with punks etc. pretty much gave up on her life until she saw Mr. Pickles' kid show on TV (played by Jim Carrey). He was giving some sort of a life lesson that inspired her to change her life, so as he held the speech throughout the whole scene, she slowly changed her life as you can see. I think that's what happened, been some time since I watched it, but that's pretty much the idea behind that scene
Peter that was great. Yes. My mind immediately went to, " I would have never thought to do that......... but I agree that the bathroom mirror shot from the movie "Contact" was brilliant!!!
EVERYTHING BUT the weatherman changed. That was amazing. Quick, planned, rehearsed, etc. For that perfect video shot without cutting and saving what could be months of filming into a few minutes.
@@seanmcconnachie4353 "Film" does not only refer to narrative genre movies. It refers also to documentary and news broadcast... Essentially almost any use of cameras and editing deem a person to be a Filmmaker. Look at the early years, Edison, the Lumiere brothers... Still considered to be filmmakers, even though the majority of their works included mundane and simple things like a shot of a train pulling into a station, or workers leaving from a building. Also, film editors, animators, writers, etc. All of them are considered filmmakers, not just directors. Directors are an important part of the process, absolutely. But without the writer, there is no story. Without the story, there is no film. Without footage, there is nothing to edit. Basically, every part of making a film is as essential as every other. So, it is wrong to say that only the Director of the film is a filmmaker. Technically, vlogging is another form of Documentary FIlmmaking. Which still makes Peter a filmmaker.
I gotta give you props for the narration of this. I was listening while at work unable to watch then when I watched later I noticed I was able to visualize what you were seeing before even seeing it!
That continious shot where the room changed 6 times has to be my favourite one. That was insane! the post editting to cut out all that noise too is just.... wow.
"...not depressed like I was..." dude, you were literally reading my mind there. I was in the middle of a bad altercation in my workplace and decided to retreat to the sanctity of TH-cam; stumbled into this video, and had my mind as well as my depression blown away, then and there. Cheers!
The legend There’s a Movie by Alfred Hitchcock, “The Rope”, it has only 3 or 4 cuts and it was only because of the 30 min. limit the film camera had at those times.
@@stevenglikin3219 Buying a camera does not make you a filmmaker. I'm a photographer, and I refer to myself as a photographer and not a filmmaker even though I did use my Gear to make videos as well - I'm just not trained and experienced in that, so I'm no filmmaker!
I wish you had linked the videos in the description. I'm pretty sure I've seen the movie poster one before and there IS a part where they show the behind the scenes.
That run to the mirror seems like it was a REAL tight on the mirror and a PAINFULLY SLOW pan out. It was amazingly brilliant!!! I know it's probably NOT that, but that's insane...
I'm betting the same thing, but at the end of the pan, there was a slight angle adjustment/turn on the dolly to allow room for the actress to access the cabinet, then they would have had to have edited it all out in post. Sometimes it's the most simplest of solutions, but we think there's some insane CGI because we forget how good and how far editing has come in the photography/film making industry.
If you like continuous shots, the funeral home wake scene from Haunting of Hill House isn't as dynamic but moves through multiple rooms and through conversations with a ton of characters and is pretty intense to watch
If you’re a fan of long takes check out Netflix’s Haunting of Hill house. There’s on episode with only 6 cuts. It is truly a cinematic feat! The story and characters are also incredible! Highly recommended!
Alfred Hitchcocks "Rope" is one continuous shot, I believe it was the first film to do so. There are invisible cuts in the film but that is purely to do with the film running out, so they specifically put in shots where the film could be replaced and the next take could continue seamlessly from the last one. "Russian Ark" is actually a true one continuous shot, there is literally zero cuts, it is one 80 minute shot.
The continuous apartment shot is well thought out by showing elapse of time with the puppy size (x3), tube TV to a flatscreen, and the plant growth (x3 bigger plant).
I'm not saying it would be easy... But you possibly could be able to overlay or mask and blend the ground into the cocaine for the shot morph and then blend the colors down during the transition. It would be damn tricky, but I'm willing to bet it could be done. Cheaper to CG probably. (and it obviously fooled a bunch of film-heads)
For the Contact scene, the run looks weird because she's running in place and the crew people are moving walls beside her and then the camera moves to the edge of the mirror at the end and then she actually goes to grab it.
The mirror scene is done by aiming the camera at the mirror on a slight angle so the camera is not in the frame. The camera is zoomed in on the girl in the mirror and as the girl runs closer to the mirror the camera zooms out until the girl walks past the camera and opens the mirror cabinet. No editing it is all one shot. (The reason the girl is running so awkwardly is because the director or camera crew would have been telling her to speed up or slow down to keep her in the frame whilst zooming out.) Did this in video making course. pretty cool
I think they put the mirror and cabinet on rails moving it with the camera on, but moving it slower than the girl runs, so she catches up. Maybe why it looks weird when she is running
@@0wen.42 No that can't be how it's done, as you can see a different perspective from the hallway. It actually looks like the camera is in the hallway as opposed to zooming into it from outside. You can tell when the camera moves past the doorway.
6:49 I think *Corridor Crew* (a group of VFX artists who also have a YT channel) reacted to that scene in one of their episodes and tried to explain how it was made.Of course,they don't know exactly either but their guesses seem to be pretty good.
I love your enthusiasm and passion for this. I think these shots are incredible, too, but your awe and excitement for them are pretty darn inspiring. I am genuinely interested in seeing more behind the scenes videography videos now. Thanks for sharing!
@@CouchLock All I'm saying is that all those things you do in real life, camera work, lights, effects, etc, still has to be done in cgi, the only difference is that it's all done in a virtual world with a mouse and keyboard.

That continious shot where the room changed 6 times has to be my favourite one. That was insane! the post editting to cut out all that noise too is just.... wow.
DAMN... I know a lot of the food ones and have seen quite a few, but the two continuous shots are bloody BRILLIANT!!!
"...not depressed like I was..." dude, you were literally reading my mind there. I was in the middle of a bad altercation in my workplace and decided to retreat to the sanctity of TH-cam; stumbled into this video, and had my mind as well as my depression blown away, then and there. Cheers!
If you can get rid of it just like that - not depression.
5:48 you definitely have never been to Germany my friend!!
I guess he neither had taped a beer barrel

Hey Peter and folks,
the part at 07:00 explained by cinecom on youtube , just type "cinecom mirror"
yep that is where I learned!
Yep, I love cinecom and that was one incredible shot that is really quite simple!
It is the next video TH-cam recommend me after watching this
@@vincefromgt5847 shhh youtube is watching
Thanks, I was about to share.
The continuous shots are more of a project management and execution accomplishment than camera techniques - awesome all the same
When Peter says “that was the most incredible thing I’ve ever seen” several time’s 😂 love you man
Hol up... Thought That cocaine shot was CGI... It's from the ghost recon wild lands trailer
Yeap... Your right. Still Looks Dope Tho
Impressive nonetheless, easier to understand how it was made, but the art direction was really good...
Why do you think all them drug dealers keep shipping drugs over? They want to break into feature films.
I knew I recognized it from somewhere!
That just makes it more impressive, you know how much math went into that shit!
The cocaine scene is actually all VFX its from a Video game
It cut into CGI 🙆
its still cool cinematography
What game?
Tom Clancy Ghost Recon Wildlands
@@thisislukas8951 ghost recon wildlands
"That was the most ridiculous continuous shot I´ve ever seen"
You clearly never watched "Children of men"..
Love that movie
Weren't there entire movies that were done in one continuous shot?
The legend People claimed that bird man was all one shot but obviously that’s not true
The legend There’s a Movie by Alfred Hitchcock, “The Rope”, it has only 3 or 4 cuts and it was only because of the 30 min. limit the film camera had at those times.
Silent house is a good example too. Maybe not as dynamic, but the whole movie is shot with like 4 cuts 😳
6:00 Can't get enough of Peter's face expression! lol. Like a little kid in so much awe
They made you question whole filming/editing skills😂
"I need to practice filmmaking... harder"!!!
Waw, congratulations, you can quote something from the video.
@@kraziel Well you're a smart one

So impressive to see the hard work that literally does happen behind the scenes, cheers!
Wow this guy is extremely un-cocky/braggy like he actually just watches them without relating to it.
He can't relate to it. He is a photographer, not so much a filmmaker
+Alondra Morales- did you read the title of the video?
Steven Glikin Exactly
@@stevenglikin3219 Buying a camera does not make you a filmmaker. I'm a photographer, and I refer to myself as a photographer and not a filmmaker even though I did use my Gear to make videos as well - I'm just not trained and experienced in that, so I'm no filmmaker!
@@leokr4877 He's a youtuber who got over 3 mil subs in no time because of his videomaking ability.
I wish you had linked the videos in the description.
I'm pretty sure I've seen the movie poster one before and there IS a part where they show the behind the scenes.
Ben R4m-Z movie posters what the name of the video?!
Yeah I really wanna watch the whole video. :( I love Peter Mckinnon but am super disappointed that he didn't give credit / list resources.

That run to the mirror seems like it was a REAL tight on the mirror and a PAINFULLY SLOW pan out. It was amazingly brilliant!!! I know it's probably NOT that, but that's insane...
I'm betting the same thing, but at the end of the pan, there was a slight angle adjustment/turn on the dolly to allow room for the actress to access the cabinet, then they would have had to have edited it all out in post. Sometimes it's the most simplest of solutions, but we think there's some insane CGI because we forget how good and how far editing has come in the photography/film making industry.

*Big lights panel obviously slides in the dark*
This guy:
"HOW IS THAT ONE SHOT?? HOW IS THAT ONE SHOT???"
The scene at 6:50 was broken down by the guys over at @CorridorCrew in their VFX Artists react series
title of the video pls

4 minutes 16 seconds in.
Had to watch each episode in order for this because everyone else is useless
@@cockatoode705 thank brooo
The mirror was a green screen
If you like continuous shots, the funeral home wake scene from Haunting of Hill House isn't as dynamic but moves through multiple rooms and through conversations with a ton of characters and is pretty intense to watch
Same with True Detectives season 1 where Matthew mcconaughey is in the trap house.
Love this scene! Watched a behind the scenes of it on youtube
If you’re a fan of long takes check out Netflix’s Haunting of Hill house. There’s on episode with only 6 cuts. It is truly a cinematic feat!
The story and characters are also incredible! Highly recommended!
OOOO!! That's good!!!
Yessssssss I love that show
That is the last good episode ... after that the plot goes down
Birdman is one shot film
Alfred Hitchcocks "Rope" is one continuous shot, I believe it was the first film to do so. There are invisible cuts in the film but that is purely to do with the film running out, so they specifically put in shots where the film could be replaced and the next take could continue seamlessly from the last one.
"Russian Ark" is actually a true one continuous shot, there is literally zero cuts, it is one 80 minute shot.
wow! i feel so so intimidated by the genius of these shots
It's insane! It makes me want to delete all the videos on my channel
So glad that I watched the entire video. So inspiring and so entertaining. Thanks PM
Your face at 5.29 when you found out it was motor oil was PRICELESS. I watched that section like 10x 😂😂😂😂😂😂🔥🐼🎥📷
For the mirror, there are 2 different records. At 6:59 (0,25 x) you can see an orange sleeve in "reality" but not in the mirror.
He goes “hohhhh” and I did the same thing but for different reasons lol
genius
nice catch dude
yea the mirror was a green screen, surprising this guy is a filmmaker and has never seen that scene
oh shit .... thats it man
Impressive one shot continuous scene? Two words.
TRUE DETECTIVE
3:48 that was a cgi scene from the trailer for the game Ghost Recon Wildlands. Still cool shot nevertheless.
I noticed that as well
Yep
Yes... absolutely right
He was so mindblown i feel so bad
A game will never look as good as a rendered cinematic.
This is next level filmmaking
Taikamuna that’s how hollywood works
first comment :0
first time here, but that intro was insane
Neil Layague yea man same
Oh same here too
Same
There's a reason he's a filmmaker
7:04 Pete reacts how we are all feeling. LOVE THIS!
He obviously hasnt seen the John Wick 2 Mirror Scene...
Booyacookies lkr
5:49 Buy GERMAN Beer and you have a foam!
Sounds like communist propaganda to me!
Exactly
@@levoGAMES And you sound like a stupid yank.
r/Woooosh
@@PartialViewmusic You sound like a commie apologist.
your face after the Kidding scene GOLD!! I was the same!!
The continuous apartment shot is well thought out by showing elapse of time with the puppy size (x3), tube TV to a flatscreen, and the plant growth (x3 bigger plant).
3:49 this was entirely CGI. Its a trailer for the video game Ghost Recon WIldlands.
I was looking for someone to notice that😂
lol fr, I saw the blood in the coke I was like... where have I seen that before..
Still amazing nonetheless.
Still ridiculous idea
It doesn't matter what the medium is if the idea and camerawork is still executed well.
I just want to point out that at 3:48 is computer generated. It's the opening of Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands.
lol. good catch, gamer. I'm so proud of this community
Yeah 😍😍
Isn’t it crazy though that these days we are struggling to tell the difference between reality and cgi!
Yea other wise the ground wont match the cocaine 😂. It was still amazing though gotta admit.
I'm not saying it would be easy... But you possibly could be able to overlay or mask and blend the ground into the cocaine for the shot morph and then blend the colors down during the transition.
It would be damn tricky, but I'm willing to bet it could be done.
Cheaper to CG probably. (and it obviously fooled a bunch of film-heads)
He looks like Christian Bale when he is looking towards the computer!
That was my first thought haha.
lol on the thumbnail he looks like "Plusmacher" a german rapper
I was thinking a mellow Tom Hardy!
Literally got Goosebumps !!
I had no idea camera work was so awesome!
It's not the camera itself, it's what you do with it
For the Contact scene, the run looks weird because she's running in place and the crew people are moving walls beside her and then the camera moves to the edge of the mirror at the end and then she actually goes to grab it.
The mirror scene is done by aiming the camera at the mirror on a slight angle so the camera is not in the frame. The camera is zoomed in on the girl in the mirror and as the girl runs closer to the mirror the camera zooms out until the girl walks past the camera and opens the mirror cabinet. No editing it is all one shot. (The reason the girl is running so awkwardly is because the director or camera crew would have been telling her to speed up or slow down to keep her in the frame whilst zooming out.) Did this in video making course. pretty cool
I think they put the mirror and cabinet on rails moving it with the camera on, but moving it slower than the girl runs, so she catches up. Maybe why it looks weird when she is running
@@0wen.42 No that can't be how it's done, as you can see a different perspective from the hallway. It actually looks like the camera is in the hallway as opposed to zooming into it from outside. You can tell when the camera moves past the doorway.
😂😂 ugh no.
The mirror is actually a green screen.
6:49
I think *Corridor Crew* (a group of VFX artists who also have a YT channel) reacted to that scene in one of their episodes and tried to explain how it was made.Of course,they don't know exactly either but their guesses seem to be pretty good.
I love your enthusiasm and passion for this. I think these shots are incredible, too, but your awe and excitement for them are pretty darn inspiring. I am genuinely interested in seeing more behind the scenes videography videos now. Thanks for sharing!
Gonna patiently wait for the YES THEORY video with this guy.
fatima huq random but true
is there one planned?
The one with blood and cocaine is Tom Clancy Ghost Recon Wildlands trailer LMAO. It's a video game trailer
was looking for this comment XD
Still good though
It's still cinematography, being cgi doesn't change that.
@@M4XC4V413R4 I mean... there's something to be said about the camerawork in the rest of them though.
@@CouchLock All I'm saying is that all those things you do in real life, camera work, lights, effects, etc, still has to be done in cgi, the only difference is that it's all done in a virtual world with a mouse and keyboard.
10:08 - just thinking that dog could ruin it all... - why so many likes
film?
That's exactly what I was thinking 😂
@@graskii7254 It's from Kidding, a TV serie with Jim Carrey!

The best part of that continuous transition scene is when they nail it and the crew cheers
