David Blaine: Vertigo

Written by
Runtime
60 min
Documentary

Synopsis

In *Vertigo*, David Blaine performs a series of remarkable magic tricks and unusual illusions. The special intercuts these performances with footage of Blaine standing on a pole in New York City for two days. The pole appeared to extend 10 stories into the air, with no visible support for him to hold onto or safety measures to catch him if he fell. This segment of the show was broadcast live, and at the conclusion, Blaine jumped into a stack of cardboard boxes.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 15

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
