Every so often someone emerges in a field and manages to not only revolutionize it, but do so several times. Steven Spielberg is one of those people, with a career that has gone uninterrupted since the mid-70’s and is one of the most influential powers in Hollywood.- The Spielberg Oner (YouTube)
One overlooked aspect of Spielberg is that he’s actually a stealth master of the long take. From Duel to Tintin, for forty years, he has sneakily filmed many scenes in a single continuous shot.
