Here is a three-part series of videos that include film shots opposite the famous pieces of art that inspired them.

Jim Emerson has compiled some classic long shots and posted them to Vimeo. The shots are categorized by the specific strategy the director was attempting and the value of the long shot’s contribution to the film.
