New
Car Delivered
The original model of the Peugeot car - as well as all the vehicles
seen in the film - were built by students of Blackpool
and The Fylde College, England. On
this original shell, finer detail was continually added throughout
the production... |

The
Car Controls
...so that by the end, one could direct a camera at any point
in or out of the car to get an image at this level of detail. |

Dad
Tries Out the Wipers
The footage of the actor was incorporated into the scenes at the
modelling stage rather than during post-production. This allowed
the father to be affected by the scene's coloured lights and for
him to cast and receive shadows (see Making
the Film section). |

Dad
Preparing for the First Trip
In the beginning a lot of the story was told by observing small
details in the scenes. In this shot the father's military background
was implied by the various books and pictures on the wall. It
was found that the audiencenever took this information in, unless
the scene was held for a long time or there was an extreme close-up.
His military life is now simply mentioned in the narration! |
