Russian Ark
"Chasing the Dancers", By Tilman Büttner
(Elapsed: 1 hour, 8 minutes) In this shot, we move quickly down a long hall after a group of young dancers. Although running shots can and are done often, they are challenging, and usually require more than one take. In the case of this film, they did not have that liberty. In order to ensure the take would be clean, as well as give Buttner's legs a much needed break, the crew wheeled in a dolly on which Buttner stood as he was pushed down the hall after the girls.
