Not too many movies give me them, particularly still after repeated viewings. The Changeling is one of the few. Burrrr.

I don't think we're in CONUS any more, Toto...
Especially when watched alone, in the dark. *hides*

I am still terrified when that blasted ball bounces down the stairs after John had thrown it in the river......
Its the simplest scene but is absolutely terrifying :O

And then the camera zooming up the stairs, through the long, dark corridors with Joseph's plaintive voice narrating his demise.

Perhaps Sam Raimi was a TC fan. What other movies have done it?

I can think of a few. The Return of the Jedi uses an extremely similar technique for the speeder bike chase scene, though I can't imagine they were inspired by it, knowing how they achieved the shot gives some clarity to it's effective use in The Changeling.

The only difference between the two is that I have no idea if production for TC would have had a big enough budget to afford a Steadicam. (And obviously, the footage in TC was not sped up to quite that duration.) But I can't imagine that the technique would have been much different, if not identical to what they used.

Real is good. Interesting is better.
