WES ANDERSON'S TRACKING SHOTS


Wes Anderson latest film "The Grand Budapest Hotel" is amazing. Anderson loves using tracking shots in his films. The tracking shots move horizontally in a dead straight line and have become Anderson’s signature. He’s certainly not a fan of curves.

At a recent interview he was asked, "Why do you love using tracking shots?"

Wes Anderson says, "I like seeing the actors play the scene through…Maybe it comes from a theatre experience. I like having a cast doing something difficult in a shot…It’s fun!"
