So eventually, having done the preparation shooting on this little inlet, we went out onto the big river and there were, I think there were two boats, I think, at that time, on that scene. All the close stuff we did before in the little inlet where I had one light, one 500w pump lighting, simulating the light coming from this lantern. And... fortunately the fishing boats had a little... sort of like a little hut, like a little shelter in the middle which was open-ended, at both ends, so you could shine the light in and hide the pump by carefully positioning the boat, so that the actual cover... the actual shelter hid the... hid the electric light. But the electric light had to be powered. There were cables running under the sea... under the water, rather, under the water to our launch or raft, I can't quite remember, I think it was a raft... Anyway, and on which was the generator, you see. So this whole expedition set off into the middle of this river. Although there wasn't much wind or anything, the river had quite a strong current, so controlling this operation was quite difficult. And, at one time, I remember, I was so annoyed that my instructions weren't being followed, which was due to the problems... due to the difficulties of composition, so I had this little metal megaphone and I smashed the megaphone on the side of the boat and actually cut my hand. I was so upset.

And then the last shot... the shot where it says, you pan the boat into the rising dawn, was... was actually quite complicated. You can imagine, the dawn is rising and speed is of the essence, and yet, to control the boat, let alone the two boats, that's when I smashed the megaphone I think, because first, second, third attempts didn't work, we had to redo it, and the dawn was coming up more and more and more. But we did get the shot in the end. But that wasn't easy, I can tell you.
