Question 1

How were the drowning scenes filmed on a low budget?

Accepted Answer

The production couldn't afford proper underwater housing, so all drowning scenes in the pool were shot with a camera inside a partially-submerged fish tank.

Question 2

What guerrilla filmmaking technique was used for NYC subway scenes?

Accepted Answer

All scenes on the NYC subway and platform were shot guerrilla style with a minimal crew, long lenses, and the camera inside a duffel bag with a hole cut out for the lens.

Question 3

How did the crew ensure authentic reactions during the pornographic photo scene?

Accepted Answer

A crew member gave Tanner a new batch of highly-explicit photos for every take, so that Kevin would be authentically surprised each time.

Question 4

What was the 'stegosaurus' camera rig and how did it get its name?

Accepted Answer

Cinematographer Mark Pugh built a hybrid steadicam and six-foot jib. Its heavy counterweights swept wildly behind him like a stegosaurus's spiked tail, so director Nate Taylor coined the nickname.
