The attaching to a crane for the lift at the end is just next level man. Awesome work

The one shot opener in better call Saul when they did that doesn’t even look this smooth.

Thanks. Just gave it a watch again. One shots are so cool. So much choreography.

Link for anyone else that wants to see what they are talking about. I feel like the BCS one needs some to stabilize the camera, but maybe that not was the director wanted.

Was Fifi a person? Because I've always known a fifi to be something else that would be weird to name an episode of a tv show after.

With how meticulous Vince and Peter Gould are, everything about this shot definitely seems like it's a conscious decision and fully intentional.

Have you seen "Much ado about nothing" with Kenneth Branagh? The final scene with the SteadyCam going up in a crane remembers me of that here.

There is a great "Making of" for that movie :-)
