Behind The Shot: Week End

If you've ever seen Jean-Luc Godard's 1967 masterpiece Week End, chances are you'll remember the 8-minute tracking shot of a traffic jam. It's kind of hard to forget. Anyway, I'd always assumed this shot was accomplished by placing the camera in another car and running it parallel to the traffic jam...until I came across this photo on Criterion Corner's Tumblr. Mind. BLOWN.
