Clowning Around
Check this out:
It’s a commercial (for Phillips TVs), yes, but a brilliant one. Adam Berg, through some amazing combination of CGI and live-action filming (and maybe some still photography?) basically constructed an uninterrupted tracking shot to rival the one at the beginning of Touch of Evil (rival, perhaps, but not beat — considering that shot was a minute longer and was shot on film with no digital trickery).
I have no idea how Berg did it, but it’s pretty cool. And like the opening of Touch, it’s a self-contained story. I like it.
