      More interested in the showerhead shot from Psycho…

      Bad LinkMonkey! 💥 Trick mirror links not interesting enough for @jordanlund@lemmy.world! 🤣

      Re:how…Psycho is one of my all-time favorite movies and in all the years and all the times I’ve rewatched it, I’ve never, ever thought about how that shot was achieved! I’m inclined to agree with @bennyinc@feddit.de

        I heard a rumor years ago, no idea if it’s true or not… That Hitch did it by constructing an oversized showerhead and running salt through it rather than water.

        Interesting solution, and you can kind of see it in the still I posted.

        Would love to confirm it.

          Now that you mention it, this sounds awfully familiar to me…the salt doesn’t ring a bell, though…not confirming nor denying 🤔

          Y’know, this could have been another super Jordan Lund MovieSnob post on its own, ratzenfraztengrumblemumble!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

      It looks like the water is shooting outwards only. Maybe a carefully crafted shower head that sprays more to the sides and nothing in center?
