From the moment the group exits the apartment building onto the street until the end of that sequence Reeves wanted it to be one, continuous take "oners," as they're labeled in the business as opposed to the stopping and starting of filming seen up to that point. He felt that if such an event were happening, Hud or whoever was filming wouldn't turn off the camera. This posed some difficulties to the crew and especially the special effects team. There are cuts in this sequence, but they are hidden by fast sweeps or extreme closeups. Pre-viz was used to help Reeves and editor Kevin Stitt determine exactly when they would be able to use hidden cuts during this drawn out sequence.
