Do'h, did I just insult the filmmaker? Sorry! I have major foot-in-mouth disease.

Jesus fuck. Someone thinks they're an amateur filmmaker. Skip the first 40 seconds to save yourself from unnecessary production.

EDIT- Scratch that, skip the whole thing. It's a cool slide though!

There's only one of her, so no need to use the plural. It's not supposed to be realistic, but instead to provoke discussion. A few quotes from the filmmaker here:

*Cough*

"4" sounds like death in Chinese. So to call a bus "44" is very ominous.
(I doubt the bus from the true story was called that - even hospitals don't have a floor 4 - but the filmmaker chose it on purpose).

great short film. funny standup by Reg. hooray for the sift.

You're right, a long take isn't anything special on its own. I think the framing, camera movement, intricate choreography, and overall complexity make this a noteworthy shot. Is it the greatest steadicam shot ever? No, which is why I didn't call this something hyperbolic like "the greatest shot you'll ever see" or even "the greatest shot you'll see this year." But it is a bravura piece of filmmaking and certainly worth watching. I'll admit that I have a soft spot for complex tracking shots, though.

p.s. The filmmaker posted a comment to liveleak:

I'm the filmmaker, I'd like to share a couple of notes.
The "raining" of ashes from Mt. Etna is not rare, but this time it was unusually intense. Some towns nearby were hit even harder.
It lasted more than 30 minutes.
Yes, cars got scratched, some windshields got chipped. But no Ferrari's or Lamborghini's around!
The biggest pain is to clean up, we have to collect ash into sacks and stash them at the corners for a special service to collect them. It will take weeks to get rid of it all.
We have to wear masks while cleaning because thin ashes are believed to hurt your lungs.
Pompei was not covered with the same kind of ashes, but with a massive cloud of gas and burning ashes that can be found only at the top of Mt.Etna. We're safe down here (~60Km from the volcano.)
@caar1970 at 1:27 I'm wiping ash from a tiled floor, not a car.
@Joxed My vespa can handle dirt very well. It's not unsafe if you drive slow like I did.
