"The Great Train Robbery" from 1903 was one of the first times a camera had left the enclosed safety of a studio or recording room. And boy was this HUGE jump. Safe room, to the Wild West. This was so advanced, people have never seen a real life setting, especially, outside in the west. And now the camera is becoming portable. The scenes can take place in larger areas as more advanced films come out and have developed new ways to take in light. (Im not really sure, but i know that they can now filter more light so that the eye is not shattered by the brightness from the sun.)
THey are also working to develop overlapping film. you can see in some areas of the film that there is a different strip running in the areas of the window or open car doors. Unless I'm wrong, which I can usually admit, but the train and trees seemed to close to the main scene. They can now put two films together and create so much more with effects. The pure wow factor that is now being produced by this is mind blowing. This would have been FANTASTIC to see the first time it was released, and only 12 minutes, I'm it. Fast and easy date night, HOLLA!
