From: Jonathan Stubbs [[email protected]] Moses' parting of the Red Sea in The Ten Commandments is a good example. In fact the scene has similarities with the Caspar Friedrich painting you mention. There may be examples in Lawrence of Arabia too, but I think Lawrence is mostly filmed from the front. Regards, Jonathan Stubbs ________________________________________ From: Michael Fitzgerald [[email protected]] Would you also include in this category the hand-held "follow shot," such as the one used in Rouch and Morin's Chronique D'Un Ete, in which the camera follows the subject of the action from behind? It's also very prominent in Rouch's Gare du Nord. I have also seen this in Woody Allen's Husbands and Wives, and it is very prominent in Darren Aronovsky's The Wrestler.
