Every actor carries a small camera lens on their forehead. Remotely linked camera controllers and digital post-production help with jitter, focus. (Thanks to Strange Days for proving that first person camera can be done without being nauseating.)
Each camera records its position in space; that lets a computer draw conclusions about whose cameras are visible where. The cameras are edited out digitally.
The view on screen is the composite view of the actors. The movie derives part of its pleasure from the inability to see some of the actors, while seeing from their vantage point.-- jutta, May 22 2000 Time Code http://us.imdb.com/Details?0220100Four Views on screen simultaniously.

well? ,is there?....what about a shower scene then?-- havenman, Jun 06 2001 In a month this idea celebrates its 7th anniversary and meanwhile we have 'Machinima' baking this...-- rrr, Apr 24 2007 //'m just praying that there would be a love scene in the film..... // Would this not involve one camera looking in closeup at another? And then both would be edited out leaving you with nothing?
I'm not sure I'd like this - in fact I don't think I'd be able to watch it. If I'm watching a film, I want to forget that it's a film - I don't want to be reminded constantly of the medium. Multiple views, and views from the perspective of an "eye" that is fixed to somebody else's head, are very unnatural and distracting.-- MaxwellBuchanan, Apr 24 2007 random, halfbakery
