Neivelt recalls that for night scenes, “We stopped down and used a similar approach, but switched off some of the overhead lamps. Then we worked with the headlight James was wearing, bouncing it back at him and continuing to use the LitePads.” Since there was not enough room for recording devices in the sets, the Minis were tethered to Cinedecks positioned near the video village. “We were after small, mobile, high-performance recording units, and the Cinedecks had been announced but not released,” says Ciupek. “We probably had the four or five Cinedecks available at that time.

Chediak, who worked with gaffer Justin Andrews, notes, “I was operating the camera with my right hand and holding the LED with my left hand so I could regulate it myself. I also had a bit of backlight outside the bag to give it some texture.”
