Premium Members Ramon Engle Posted November 28, 2011 Premium Members Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Just watched "Hanna". Great ride, loved it. There's a steadicam sequence that begins with Eric Banna getting off a bus following him through the streets, through a bus station, across a street, down an escalator into a subway station, all the while noticing agents following him then cullminating into a badass fight sequence. Pretty incredible. Jorge Widmer was one of the 3 steadicam operators on the show. Does anyone know who was the operator for this particular sequence? Great shot, flawless fluidity, consistant headroom, speed, energy. Well done all around. Ramon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members James Davis Posted November 29, 2011 Premium Members Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Most likely Peter Robertson, Joe Wright used him previously for that famous atonement shot, so it's highly likely it was him on this one as well for the long one take shot.

Premium Members brooksrobinson Posted November 30, 2011 Premium Members Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 There was a good article about Hanna in the April issue of the ASC Magazine, including a description of the shot in question.

Premium Members James Davis Posted November 30, 2011 Premium Members Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Great read, really interesting as well to hear how he lit the film, definitely one of the best shot films this year, it looked absolutely stunning and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Jordan Tetewsky Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Just watched Hanna. Incredible shot. I'm wondering how it was so well choreographed to the point where they were able to do it all in one take and make that fight look so damn good. This is the highest quality I could find, but it's missing the first minute: To operators/cinematographers: Did they replace the bulbs in the tunnel to match outdoor lighting? I'm wondering how a shot like this is exposed so that everything is so perfectly consistent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Tetewsky Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 That's really cool. I'm still having trouble finding the spots where they do the pulls. Also wondering how they made the knife look so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members James Elias Posted July 8, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 (edited) It was Peter Robertson Edited July 8, 2013 by James Elias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Sanjay Sami Posted July 8, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 I think it's a real challenge to make fight scenes work in a oner. Particularly hand to hand combat. In my (extremely humble) opinion, that fight scene would have looked a lot more credible with cuts in it. Great operating though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
