The film featured a pivotal and widely acclaimed ocean storm sequence where the camera took on the perspective of a small dinghy flung about in the ocean swells. Hammeras created the scene through a combination of miniature models, location footage off the coast of Maine and a studio tank, creating an intense, realistic setting.
