For our flashback/chase scene we wanted a smooth dolly shot style as opposed to contrast with the handheld/steadicam work used in the rest of the opening. We put or cameraman, George Nolan In the trolley with a tripod jammed between his legs and the trolley to keep it steady, and 1 person on each side of the trolley mainly to stabilise it and keep it on track and straight as the ground we were on was curved and one person at the back pulling the trolley smoothly delivering the buildup of speed to the trolley till we were at a good average speed. It was quite tricky to master getting a smooth and straight shot so it took us a few takes to get a shot we were happy with. We had to set a general marker to get all the characters within the shot and to improve the symmetry as we discovered when we were reviewing our shots that in alot of them you could not see the other suited actor.
