I don’t think this shot could have been accomplished except for the huge and enthusiastic crew we had in China. It took a very large crew to pull it off. A conventional crane could not get over the wall – we had to use a motorized hoist system that ran on overhead tracks that first lifted me up and then tracked along on top of the wall above Uma, crossing the wall at a slight angle until reaching the bathroom set and then lowered me down as Uma entered a stall to change into her “killing” costume. A custom chair was suspended from the winch that I could sit down for the flight over the wall operated by key grip Herb Ault who managed to get me up over and down with only a few minor collisions with the set. I then got off and continued the shot back into the main room of the restaurant set. In the meantime, an army of Chinese stagehands flew a large section of a wall, brought in large ramps and rolled a crane onto the set in time for me to back onto it so I could ‘fly’ up to the second floor and descend with Julie Dreyfus as she walked down stairs past the stage and into the bathroom. Also, in order to see the singer in a closeup as I backed into the restaurant, a large Koi pond in front of the stage was covered over with a wood platform and the singer came to the front of that new stage in time for me to pan to her as I sat on the crane.
