"We had the guys from X Men 2 do the cameras. They had a 360 camera that would go from one car, up in the air and over to another car in a continuous shot while the film was still rolling, going 90 mph"
- Jimmy Fallon
About this Quote
Jimmy Fallon is referring to the shooting of a scene in X Men 2, where the cam follows a cars and truck as it drives at high speed. The electronic camera team used a 360 video camera, which enabled them to capture the action in a constant shot while the car was moving at 90 mph. This kind of shot is tough to achieve, as it requires a great deal of skill and precision to capture the action with no interruption. Making use of the 360 video camera permitted the crew to capture the scene in a single take, producing a dynamic and exciting series. Using this technology shows the level of ability and expertise of the camera team, and the dedication of the X Men 2 group to create a visually stunning movie.
