00:00Two, one, action!
00:02Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go!
00:04When we did this, I thought it was necessary for the audience to experience
00:09how it would be to actually go through this.
00:13And to give that feeling, I thought that you can't cut.
00:17I just want a camera that shot them down, that did everything they did.
00:22When the audience sees it, it would be like they were one of the thieves.
00:26That they were one of the people who had to do everything with the thieves.
00:31And we never cut.
00:34We take a little break. We're always there.
00:37It's just one take.
00:40We've seen so many robberies on film and TV,
00:44but we've never been in a robbery.
00:46And when I've interviewed the real robbers,
00:50it has struck me how incredibly intense it is.
00:56And I want to capture that.
00:58To be in a room instead of looking at a room.
01:01And then the thought began that I wanted it to be in real time.
01:05And then when Daniel came on board, he challenged me.
01:09Okay, it's in real time, but why should we cut it?
01:14Why not do everything in one take?
01:18Everything that is almost an exercise.
