![]() But eventually I tapped out and let the movie spectacle just wash over me. It looked like the cameraman was really floating around with the actors. The camera loops, twirls, corkscrews around space, completely forgoing the human sense of up and down. The camera floats freely around the astronauts in space in long takes, occasionally shifting from third person perspective to first person. I couldn't figure out how these long shots were accomplished. Since Children of Men, Alfonso Cuarón takes his love of the long take and brings it to new levels. This is what happened to me during Alfonso Cuarón's Gravity. When the audience can't figure out what's real and what's not, they will believe it. In my opinion, the key to making special effects convincing on screen is designing the effect to look somewhere between real and unreal.
