From locked-off lenses that allow the actors to do their work without interruption, to expertly choreographed tracking sequences, this Showdown celebrates the very best long shots. It’s a shout-out to the production and lighting designers, assistant directors, stunt coordinators, focus pullers and every other crew member whose work is vital to long-take masterpieces. Often the best long takes are those that deepen story without us even noticing there hasn’t been a cut; other times we love an obvious set-up. It’s all personal, and we’re okay with a sneaky whip-pan to disguise the odd shot change, so get your top tens in before the director calls “Cut!”.
