In Reply to: Panic Room -- technical question posted by bill mcneal on April 08, 2002 at 18:34:06:
they can put the handle in afterwards. Just because it isn't FX laden doesn't mean effects aren't subtly applied here and there. It's also possible that it was a dolly and a long lens and the camera was seeing thru the handle before getting to it, creating the illusion of moving through it. How far into the room did the shot go after going through the handle?

The shot in question goes on for a good ways. If I had to guess I'd say some kind of fiber-optic device. If it's CGI it's scary.It's a show-off shot which draws attention to itself and does nothing much for the movie. Still, it aroused my curiosity. If you see it let me know what you think. Maybe they'll talk about it on the DVD. I'll have to take a look at that Fight Club disc.
Thanks for the replies,
Bill
I remember the shot well. I would guess it is CGI. Impressive, but perhaps not as technically intricate as other things done. If I recall, there is absolutely no movement in the room, just the camera moving through it. Imagine it as a great 3D walk through a still shot of a room.Doug Schneider
You're right, there was no movement. Seems CGI is the prevailing guess. I shudder to think what future propagandists (Goebbels/Riefenstahl) will conjure up...
