Potentially new 'Zulu' blooper?

Hi everyone,

I'd never seen this hitch before (pun intended) but on watching 'Zulu' last night I spotted a pretty good blooper/goof/error, take your pick. It's at 6.46 on this youtube clip but was a lot clearer on my laptop.

Let us know if you can spot the camera slide in behind the soldier at far left.

Hope this finds forum users well,

Cheers,

Glenn

Glenn, I didn't see a "camera slide" at 6:46, but I'm not certain that I would know one if I saw one. That said, what exactly is that under the bags in front in the same frame? A piece of furniture of some sort, something like a table? My first thought was that it was a spinet piano! What am I looking for?

It's an actual large film camera being moved a very short distance from the left of the screen behind the soldiers on the barricade, of which you see the top part of it (hooded lens and box) which if not looking very closely, it could be missed, as it only lasts a second.

Once I figured out what I was looking for and seeing, it's as clear as day. I'm just concerned that you noticed it at all, Glenn. And I thought I watched ZULU just a bit too intently! Wink
