and then additional foreground material,
:52:06
to make it feel as if they were moving
twice as fast.

And here the wasps followed him
through the jungle.

The same day we had the helicopter -
we had it for one day,

:52:21
we used it there as well as satellite hill.
:52:26
Here's the refrigerator.

Liquid nitrogen pumped in
through the different parts of the set

to get a sense of cold.

And Peter King put paraffin, which is...
:52:46

:53:31
which you'll see as the credits start to roll.

Here's Jeff Tracy attempting
to keep up the morale of his family.

:53:43

:53:44
He has some very
on-the-nose expositional dialogue.

:53:50
And he manages to do it
with real conviction and honesty.
