shouting, 'Save the camera!' and 'Save
the lights!'
"As the boat started to sink, it
also started to tip over. Some
crewmembers on the workboat, the
Ruddy Duck, also dove clear of their
boat when they saw the 30-foot mast
of the Orca coming down on them like
a tall timber. Fortunately the Orca was
attached to a crane on one of the boats,
the Whitefoot, and this kept the Orca
from sinking or tilting too much. To
top it off, a sudden squall came up,
and it started to storm. After it was all
over, no one was seriously hurt, but
the number-one camera had been
submerged, and the magazine with
the hard-earned footage was filled
with water. Everyone thought the
footage was lost and the whole thing
would have to be done again, but Bill
Butler had the magazine immediately
taken to shore, and fresh water was
exchanged for the brine. The magazine was carried in someone's lap on
the next plane to New York and was
processed by Technicolor in New York
under the supervision of Otto Paoloni
that night. They got the results the
next morning. The footage was fine.
No second take was made, and that is
the footage that the public will see in
the film."
A close friend of Spielberg,

Prior to making movie history with
Star Wars, director George Lucas
wrote about his earlier sci-fi film,
THX 1138, in the October 1971 issue
of AC. His cinematographers on the
production were Albert Kihn and
David Myers, but additional footage
was shot by an uncredited Haskell
Wexler, ASC, who became friends
with Lucas during the latter's
undergrad days at USC. Robert Duvall
(pp & p) stars as THX, who lives in
a dystopian future. After being
arrested, THX is imprisoned in a white
void and tortured by android police
officers.
