    Hey guys,

    For a visual media project at school, we had to make a tour of the campus. We have four hallways in my school and I filmed them by placing the camera against the wall of one side of the archway (where all you see is pitch black) and pulled it off the wall and tracked across the hallway where the tour guide is standing in the middle talking and stuck the camera into the wall on the other side of the archway. Then repeated the process for each hallway. It makes it look like all the shots where continuous but the set changes. What is this transition, shot, or technique called? I wish I had the footage to show you. If I need to explain anything else, please tell me.

    This video by "LoadedNewsletter" is a perfect example:

    Thanks for the help!

    Seamless transitional montage. Heck, make up your own name for it. Call it The Chippy Shot.

    Hey zoobie, Thanks for the input, but I searched google for a while on weave and I couldn't find much. Is there another name for it?

    It's a faked "MATCH-CUT" edit.

    Great movie example is Hitchcock's "Rope", where it looks like the whole movie is 1 continuously shot scene, but the cuts occur when the camera passes by a dark/black object.
