  • The actual correct name is "sequence shot". Dolly shot is NOT "just a name", it clearly involves some kind of railing or wheeled platform.

  • But it might be called dolly, if you consider the 'virtual' rails and wheeled platform, like whem it crosses the coffee maker or the key hole.

  • that "dolly" shot, looks like it was clearly done with a crane

  • In fact, it was done with a computer, but emulating a crane,and a dolly. "dolly" shot is just a name that refers to a bunch of things. It´s like saying that french fries are, in fact, made with potatoes from other countries. Cinism sucks.

  • David Fincher is a great director.

  • I love David Fincher's style, but I'm ambivalent about his use of CG dolly shots like this. On one hand they're cool as hell and they give you a sense of what's going on in the 3D space of the scene, but sometimes I think he over-uses them. My favorite movie of his is still Seven, and that movie had little if any CG.

  • You failed the vocabulary segment of film school didn't you?

  • @stratocaster1986able it's great because it's the first one being done like that, almost impossible at that time. David Fincher said it took a little less than a year to finally put them together.

    Of course Fringe can now make them in CGI and stuff, but back then it was a lot harder.

  • This is one of my favorite movies. Forest Whitaker and Jodie Foster were great for their roles. I didn't like Raul. He showed his true colors told the end -- he was just an inexperienced bus driven that was nothing without his gun.

  • The opening sequence is not special. I know it sounds like I am just being a hater but I've seen a lot of opening sequences and if you think its one of the greatest then you clearly haven't seen many films.

  • @scatterbrain73 Exactly!!! There is a moment in the sequence I start looking technique instead of story.
