Making of film, specifically with use of seagulls
Hi there,
does anyone out there have any links/knowledge about the making of this film? I was fascinated with how they captured some of the shots and footage. But as the movie went on my fascination was being replaced with questions as to whether the seagulls were being harmed during filming. Examples would be the two scenes where Jonathan is under water after losing control in a dive, and on the floating wood looking like he is about to drown. Another example is the gull which hits the cliffside and tumbles down, hitting the rock side numerous times as he falls.
I find this story to be very powerful and want to believe that the filmmaker had the animals' best interest in mind, but I never saw any disclaimer like you would see in newer movies which states "no animals were harmed in the making of this film." So far my internet searches aren't coming up with much, so I figured it was worth a shot to ask it on here.
Thanks.
