I don't know if I'd have remained that calm. This is not a view that fosters tranquility:

I wish NASA did shots more like this. I always hated when the shuttle got past a certain point they always switched to that extreme zoom closeup view where you can see the shuttle great but could get no sense of perspective on it's height or the scale of the achievement at all.

Wholly on the technical side...

3D printed face parts, maybe?

The join lines kinda distract for me in the closeups, but it's something I wouldn't see after 5 minutes or so.

This is something I've suspected for a few years now. If they are using CG for a lot of these nature closeups, they've got the best in the business because I can't spot it.
I sincerely doubt that's the case simply because they'd be producing hours and hours of flawless, ILM/WETA-level CG, and that's just not feasible.

I didn't like how they didn't take the extra step of reshooting her dupes so that she would keep singing with the song. Looks amaturish when her closeup (bad idea in a heavily digitaly manipulated shot btw) when she is mouthing words during a part of the songs she only hums in.

That'll teach ya to do closeups of bacon frying before heading out for the day.

Looks like an escalator on the closeup.

Oh, yes, you're right. I didn't notice him as they never include him in the conversation so there is no closeup of him.

Hmm I have always thought "flea circus" was always just a complete scam where they didnt even have any fleas, but just small machines they told people fleas were operating. Surely the closeups of these fleas is a remarkable achievement given the available camera equipment at the time! I would think it was extremely hard to focus live cameras like that in 56, and also, two or more takes would be really expensive waste of camera rolls. Pretty impressive stuff!

fear. Put yourself in the cops' shoes. Holy shit batman. Adrenaline overload.


I think adrenaline was probably only one of the bodily substances involved in this exchange. Would have loved to see a closeup of the first cop's face when his behind touched the line of cars. Relief probably doesn't cut it.
