I had a professor in film school who used to snap his fingers every time he felt that a film should “cut” to the next shot.  In work by the directors he thought most masterful, the cut would invariably happen precisely as his fingers snapped.

 

I always regretted that.  Kinda wanted to see what would have happened in that shot had the director let it play out...

 

This is the beginning of a collection of my favorite long takes from scenes I’ve filmed.

 

More to be added soon.
