Ever wondered how director Freddie Francis
achieved that POV of looking at Peter Cushing through the eye sockets of
the skull in Amicus films THE SKULL? Well here's a great behind the
scenes shot of the camera man in action. You'll notice he
is wearing a rig where the skull is fitted into a harness so he can
shoot through the sockets. And that gliding movement of the camera?
Easy, the camera operator is wearing roller skates!!
