I like that the convention that they are all essentially in dialogue with the camera / another character while this happens
real “First Scene of Law and Order” style

Great job.
Living in NYC I can relate to this. Those drivers aim for you and accelerate.
These can be divided into:

Quick view of CGI flattened person after the bus hits
vs
Victim just disappears

and

Foreground character (if there is one) flinches (2 do this)
vs
Non-flinching (1 does not flinch, at least in the clip.)

nice job, dood! the framing is different, but will ferrell gets hit by a bus in stranger than fiction… my favorite moment, ever, of a film’s character colliding with a vehicle is when wayne’s admirer rides her bike into the hood of a car in wayne’s world. i think about it all the time. great piece, mike!
