Spadina: Reverse Dolly, Zoom, Nude (2006)

In Spadina: Reverse Dolly, Zoom, Nude, Lewis establishes cinematic continuity between three separate scenes. The title indicates the place and progress of the film: it is a three-minute single shot, filmed in Spadina Road in the north of Toronto. We follow the transition from a close-up to a wide shot, all with the fluidity of a long dolly shot that is carefully developed. The movement begins with a reverse dolly shot, going from details of leaves on a tree to a wide shot of an urban landscape, then zooms towards a building and ends on an image of a woman taking some fresh air on her balcony.
