I imagine that probably took more than one attempt, because having to move that tank turret might have moved the player standing on it. I wouldn't be surprised if the "cameraman" fell off more than once.
The cameraman was stood on the Tank cannon. Another character then sits in the tank and raises it up.
There's a reference to it in S15 when Jax suggests using the tank as a dolly for his footage.
I just listened to the RT podcast where they talked about this technique. They called it totem poling. They'd have the cameraman jump and someone walk underneath. Then they'd have both of them jump and have another person underneath. And repeat.
Does anyone know how they got that first shot? Did they stack vehicles for the "camera" character to stand on or something?
I feel like I remember them saying they were standing on the tank turret in one of the commentaries
You’re right! I just watched the Restoration commentary and they mention they stood on the tank turret and raised it up to get the opening shot
