As I've mentioned before, while I'm in post-production on the season finale I'm back to making videos again, but I'm making them a bit smaller and simpler so I can juggle work on both at the same time.

So I had this thought "hey, I could do a video about one single shot from a movie, that should be pretty simple, probably 9 or 10 minutes"

Wrong again. It's 20 minutes long. But regardless, I think this is a fun one.

You really do not need to see Bonfire of the Vanities before you watch the video (unless you're a De Palma fanatic like me, skip it), but the book I reference, The Devil's Candy, about the MAKING of Bonfire of the Vanities, is absolutely worth reading.
