'La La Land' Camera Operator Posts 2 Insane Behind-The-Scenes Videos That Will Make You Tired Just Watching Them

If you think the process behind shooting La La Land was simply a walk during a lovely night, think again.

(Refresh your memory of the stunning cinematography in the trailer below.)

The #DamienChazelle-directed modern musical starring Academy Award-nominees #EmmaStone and #RyanGosling featured jazz, love and gorgeous sequences.

Expert camera operator Ari Robbins worked alongside Chazelle to execute the director's vision and he truly did a spectacular job, if these #behindthescenes Instagram videos are any indication of his dedication to getting the right shot.

Robbins's videos showcase the insane patience and dedication required for filming during this incredibly arduous shoot. With the amount of work it took to produce the breathtaking sequences, it is no wonder why the film received so much love in the technical department for the #Oscars this year.

This #Whiplash-inducing shot illustrates the sheer control and will Robbins had with his steadicam. During the "Summer Montage/Madeline" sequence of the film where Gosling (Sebastian) is shredding on the piano, we see Robbins operating the steadicam with Chazelle directly behind him, tapping his shoulder to signify when to switch between Gosling and Stone (Mia). User wrightfilms truly sums up what I was thinking during watching it:

"Hope you did some yoga before this..."

I feel like I need some yoga after seeing what this man can pull off.

During the "Someone In The Crowd" sequence, we see Mia emerge from her apartment and join her friends on their way to a booming Hollywood party. As if we needed more proof that Robbins is in complete control of his steadicam, the video shows him walking backwards toward a platform that shoots him into the air as he films - one-handed, by the way! - the night sky and four friends below. Major props also go out to the guy below holding onto that rope for dear life.
