Goodfellas shot

Recommended Posts

The Steadicam shot in Goodfellas (entering the Copa) is one of the most famous ever made with this device. The Steadicam was introduced in 1975, as a mount that isolated camera movement from the camera operator. The shot is approximately 2 minutes long, and took 8 takes. Not because of the Steadicam, but because of Henny Youngman. A very interesting "behind the scenes" story of how the shot was developed.
