The Ghost in the Machine: How a Broken Camera Created Kubrick's Most Terrifying Shot
from Final Cut Confessions · host Podcaster
Stanley Kubrick's obsessive perfectionism met its match when a malfunctioning Steadicam operator's equipment created the spine-chilling 'impossible' tracking shot through the Overlook Hotel's bathroom door in The Shining. What started as a technical failure became the film's most haunting moment, proving that sometimes the best cinema happens when control freaks lose control. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
