The 28-year-old Chazelle recast the role of the drummer from the short, and shot and edited the feature in about 10 weeks in order to make Sundance's deadlines.
Color me impressed with this one: Prague-based 360 Cities, a network of 'Virtual Reality' photographers promoting high-resolution spherical imagery, has integrated its portfolio of stunning 360° panorama shots into the Featured Preview Layer for Google Earth.
Though the movie is set in the 1980s, the only shot featuring the park was filmed at a distance and clearly shows the Raptor, which was built in 1994.
The shots feature the brand's signature bustling New York City backdrop with the 20-year-old modeling some punchy, throwback digs.
The special effects crew then "pull[ed] the head[s] off" of the shots featuring the teens moving rapidly, and used them to replace the heads on the shots of the teens' still bodies.
The completed shot features the full range of effects techniques used in the film: digital extras in the foreground, set extensions, and computer-generated vehicles.
The shots that feature the double are wide shots and rarely play for longer than one second.
The next shot features the woman resting her head on Berry's shoulder while he drives.
