What the thread found

• The opening shot following a jogger through Central Park with tunnels was captured using a Steadicam operator positioned on top of a van with a vehicle mount in low mode.
• A spintech stabilization system was employed during the shot, which coincidentally captured falling snow as filming began.
• The film is characterized by extended takes throughout, with careful attention to focus pulling using older-style lenses.
• Focus pulling was executed with minimal aperture stop changes on vintage lenses, demonstrating skilled technical work.

Depends on

• The specific lens model name is unclear from the discussion.
• Not all participants were present during filming, so details are second-hand accounts.
• The exact specifications of the vehicle mount system are not fully described.
