      Shoot the crossbow bolt camera through a fake body's torso. Movies are looking to add more weird ways to ramp up the action. How much more intense would it be to watch the hero have to take out the final boss or monster and to follow the bolt/arrow through the enemy?
      Looking at the way the camera cuts out part of the arrow it might be worth comping in a CGI arrow so the viewer has a point of reference and can easily tell what they are looking at.

      It’s best practice to put a nut onto threaded material before cutting it. That way, backing the nut off afterwards will fix the threading at the end when it inevitably gets messed up from cutting it. Not the biggest deal with all-thread, but important for bolts because if you mess the thread up from cutting it then you can’t get a nut on at all.

    My first thought seeing this after seeing wren in "Titan mode" I could see this in a scene where an archer on a wall was shooting an arrow or bolt at a colossal titan and the titan catches it and throws it right back and and through the archer and then embedding in a wall behind him. Having most of that caught in camera would be awesome and being able to juice it up with a cg shot of the bolt going through the archer would be pretty sweet

      I love Corridor but this was reckless. Should've done this including the testing at a gun range or some other place where there's practically zero chance of hitting anything. Crossbows are fucking dangerous, in the same league with firearms. If the camera tip snaps off from the rest of the bolt (as happened during their testing) the rest of the bolt can fly very far and/or in unexpected directions. Not sure about law in the US or California but in my country if you pull something like this off somewhere other than the middle of nowhere you'd likely get arrested.
