I proffer the exception to William and Antonia about that 5-second rule. Sometimes you need long shots. Yes, I know the young people have been trained by MTV/Music Videos/Action films to the .5 second shot (!) but in good films you still have long shots. 18 seconds. 27 seconds. Even a minute and a half. This usually comes in conversation, especially reaction shots in which the actor gets to move the entire film with the transition of emotion in his/her face. I have not found it to be a problem to make long shots in a single pz3. You just work on sections of it at a time. It is easy to put firewalls between the sections. Judicious use of the camera panning or dollying in the midst of a long-duration shot is effective. ::::: Opera :::::
