Cheers for the reply, but itll probly be done on a dolly & jib. Awesome site though! By the way I saw you on the special features of Darjeeling LTD, you looked so cheerful!

thanks man! thats helped loads!

What's an offset mount? do you have any picture references? Or a site that has more detail? Cheers

I have always wondered what equipment is used to create those top-down shots in so many of his films such as the first shot of the book being stamped in Royal Tenenbaums, and the top-down dolly shot of the letter Owen Wilson is reading in Life Aquatic as he's walking toward the helicopter. It's done again in The Darjeeling Limited when Jason Schwartzman is reading the itinerary - his feet are seen walking below (just as Owen Wilson's). Anyone know what equipment this actually is?
