LOST ART OF FILMMAKING: THE SUGARLAND EXPRESS

From Get To The Chopper! at www.get-to-the-chopper.com... The Lost Art of Filmmaking Series represents Get To The Chopper’s attempt to highlight examples of film language that no longer seems to appear on the radar of a majority of working filmmakers. Here's a clip from THE SUGARLAND EXPRESS, Steven Spielberg's first feature (discounting DUEL on the 'tv movie technicality), again demonstrating Spielberg's inventive camera movements and intricate blocking using the brand new (at the time) Panaflex camera. Great fluid long take - made the more difficult by doing a 360 degree pan inside a moving car. Like a mini-class in film school, the clips and columns cover the craft intricate blocking, camera moves, and, most specifically, the uninterrupted 'long take.' For more insight into these specific clips, please go to www.get-to-the-chopper.com and take a peek at the LAOF (Lost Art of Filmmaking) archives.
