PCW: Do you want to just dive right in and tell the story of how the sequence was created?

Josh Comen: I think if you only use one technique to accomplish a sequence like this, the audience is going to get it, because the audience is always more tuned in than one assumes they are.

Carras: Here's the big secret. Everything you see in that infinite zoom in that scene through New York was shot on completely stationary cameras.

The way it was shot is that there was a rig of three Red cameras mounted side by side on a single tripod, and each one had a different lens on it... a wide-angle section of the street, a medium, and a close-up. All at the same time, [recording] the same movement from the extras walking around in the frame and the cars traveling down the street. And because it's New York, you've also got the lights and the billboards blinking on and off. Just tons and tons of motion in the frame. So it's important to capture all that video with three lenses at once so you have all that information.

They did the three-camera setup at every block and intersection in several parts of town. The title sequence opens with on 8th Avenue, then it goes through Harlem, and through Times Square.
