Hi everyone.

Well we've been developing a new project lately and we had an idea to do an interesting shot that I've seen before but Vital and I were never able to figure out how it was done.
We were thinking of having the camera go from a close up to a wide shot showing the whole scene but the camera would need to move trough a wire fence.
Now I've seen this before and I'm guessing it's combination of camera work and editing technique or do they just have a really long probe lens and stick it trough the whatever the camera moves trough.
Anyone have any experience with this?
Thank you for the help and regards to everyone
Thanks guys.
We were actually looking a that probe lens. But I think a CGI shot will be the way to go, because it will be the easiest and simplest to do.

A wide range of angles - high, low, tracking, etc. - were offered. Mamet then stated the shot depends upon what's going on in the scene which no student inquired about. These director-hopefuls all replied blindly.
"...an interesting shot..." A question: How does it serve the story?
BTW, a down and dirty method puts a small section of fence on a wheeled rig maybe on PVC rails. The rig is pushed back over the lens through one of the links.
With a combination of zoom and slow forward movement of the rig the shot is accomplished.

I think CGI fence will be easier but thank you.
As for the story part we're considering the shot as a closing shot to end the scene and show the environment where the action is taking place.

Expand commentNot for inspiration really, I've had a love affair with film and photography since childhood. My grand uncle was a portrait photographer with his own studio and I worked as one, for 2 years. But, my passion is writing. My next project for 2021 is, finishing my novel (I'm 1/2 way) that begins in the 1800s to the present (kinda like, Legends of the Fall). It's a family saga about the greed of the Yukon Gold Rush. I was inspired to write it, after working in beautiful, awesome, and amazing, Alaska. And learning about Russian culture up there from my Russian and eastern European colleagues on the cruise ship we worked aboard when I was a photographer. But, I need a more writing-friendly environment. Writing a novel requires a different frame of mind and space, then a screenplay. So, I'm working on greenlighting screenplays I've completed and rewrote in, 2020.
