Saw Panic Room this weekend. Decent suspense flick.There are some long Hitchcock-y dolly shots up & down stairs etc. One in particular intrigued me. Camera dollies into a kitchen area, aiming at some object (tea kettle? I forget...) which has a handle. The shot continues, and we go THROUGH the handle on into the room. This blew my mind. How in the world is something like this done? Note that we are not talking about an effects-laden sci-fi CGI deal here. I just cannot imagine a film camera small enough to go through such a small opening. How dey do it?
TIA,
Bill
