Atonement - The Long one take Shooting

[EastBishop]

Guy almost ruins everything at 2:23 by almost falling on his face lol

[jvmaniac]

beautifully shot scene.. but i wonder how many takes it took to finally get it right :S

[iStig]

@jvmaniac They used the third take. They attempted a fourth, but the Stedicam operator was unable to finish it.

[adonis1991]

one of the most brilliant scenes EVER shot...

[wajona]

brilliant

[devigne]

epic cinematography, this is the kind of directing aspiring filmmakers look up to

[gurtNI]

My granddad was one of the last northern irish men off the beach, had to steal a dead english mans uniform coz they had stopped letting men with shamrocks on the boats, must have been an unbelievable sight

[Chaaarlies]

Such an amazing shot.

[noborderboy]

Scratch that, some set pieces were CGI'ed in, but CGI wasn't used to lenghthen the shot.

[noborderboy]

This is definitely not the longest take ever, but it is one of the most effective and beautiful. And no fakes or CGI.

[urbanspaceman1]

I'm pretty sure there's a few cheats in this shot but regardless, this was brilliantly designed and orchestrated. Five stars.

[MrSeawood]

More than brilliant

[AhmedRomel]

Could be CGI !

[ThomasJoe40]

One of the longest shot I have ever seen. The longest one has to be in the 《Before Sunset》. I wonder if those horses are really dead.

[stephiiee]

me too. D=

but they really wouldn't kill horses just for a movie would they? thats freaking mean.

[articlights]

The director said that those are like horses from the circus that fake death... they rest in the ground for a while.
