How did they do this intro shot in "Cemetary Man"?

Obviously a dolly and I'm assuming props are normal scale. But what lens would this most likely be? And I imagine it took a lot of light being that the shot has a fairly deep dof. I wonder if I could recreate this type of shot with my HPX170/Letus setup.

Cool, this is new to me. After a little research I guess I won't be buying one anytime soon.

Good project to experiment with. In the absence of the 'proper' kit, how about a go pro on the end of a piece of tube and then a nice smooth track away. I guess problems would all be how much wobble v how much stability?

Fun!

You might be able to fake a similar shot in After Effects with still photos. Create a virtual camera and 'dolly' it through the images.

Just buy one of those colonoscopy cameras and you'll get some incredible shots!
