Synopsis

*Screen Test: Helmut*, by Andy Warhol, is a five-minute silent black and white film that consists of a continuous close-up of a young man's face. The subject remains motionless, with only the occasional blink or involuntary movement of an eyelash. The film is slowed down to approximately 24 frames per second to better capture these subtle motions. Aside from this and the choppy fade-in at the beginning and fade-out at the end, there are no changes throughout the duration of the film.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 2

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.
