One continuous shot and the movie has such longer shots lasting from 6 to 10 minutes, including a 17 minutes opening shot. Incredible.
BTW the Comic-Con footage started little earlier than this clip before the intense sequence began and had little more build up.
Alfonso Cuaron?s GRAVITY Filled with Long Shots; Unbroken 17-Minute Opening Confirmed | Collider
From last year.
"Gravity only has 156 shots in its two-hour runtime, and many of the shots run “six, eight, 10 minutes long."
"Of course, it’s possible some of these shots don’t involve much camera movement. I would be shocked if every long take required the same amount of insane planning and precision as the climax of Children of Men. There could be a scene like the 16-minute continuous take of the conversation between Michael Fassbender and Liam Cunningham‘s characters in Steve McQueen‘s Hunger. Nevertheless, scenes like those present their own challenges since the cast and crew have to keep the tension, and audiences are accustomed to short takes and dynamic camera angles."
"DeFaria also mentioned that the film’s design and long-takes came from trying to reverse engineer a live-action movie from an animated picture’s freedom of movement:"
“Instead of trying to create real people and what they’re doing, let’s turn it around and create almost an entirely animated film and then backwards engineer the people into that film,” he explained. “As a matter of fact, let’s not even engineer the people into the film, let’s engineer their faces. So you’ve got these little faces inside these little helmets. But there was a big hiccup that we came to I didn’t realize until later, which was that we began building it as an animated film and Alfonso had an idea that he wanted the shots to be incredibly long, and I said, ‘How long?’ And he said he wanted the first shot to be really long. And I said, ‘You mean, 40 seconds?’ ‘No, 17 minutes.’ "

looking good!
