Vanilla Sky

Visible crew/equipment: When Tom Cruise is standing alone in the hall at the ground floor of the LE building, screaming for "Tech Support..." the camera pans around him 360 degrees. When the camera pans over Tom's left shoulder, you can see the shadows of the camera crew on his jacket. After the panning has come to a stop, you can see the reflection of two or three crew-members in the glass walls behind him.

Visible crew/equipment: When the camera zooms in on David's car after he's nearly crashed, you can see the camera to the right of the reflection in the window.

Visible crew/equipment: When David is about to leave for L.E. there is a very brief shot of him in the back of a car looking out with his mask on. Just above the door handle you can see the dark reflection of the camera.

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Tom and Penelope are lying together on her sofa there is a table to the left with a lamp and some wooden artists figures. These move position between shots, with different things happening with their arms.
