Jon O'Brien Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 (edited) Can anyone advise how the shot was done of the character Oak running full-bore up the side of the hill at the 'cliff' scene close to the start? That had great power to it. Was that a dolly (seems unlikely) or was it a vehicle with a steadicam on it? It was very smooth.

Jon O'Brien Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 I must admit, though, that opening title shot on the Cornish coastline in the original 1967 version was amazing - the really long pan. Especially with the soundtrack theme over the top of it. It's a terrific story for feature film widescreen cinematography because of the importance of big landscapes to the story. The story always manages to emphasize how we are all dependent on the land ... and the sky. Sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A steadicam was used for Troy's sword/penis display in the woods, so it's entirely possible it was used for the kamikaze sheep. https://britishcinematographer.co.uk/charlotte-bruus-christensen-far-from-the-madding-crowd/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon O'Brien Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Great article, thanks. Interesting to read what she says about art and how she feels about it, studying the great painters and so on. I suspected she'd have to be like that in her approach to this particular movie. Yes, hollow in the ferns was an interesting title Hardy chose for that scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
