The filming of this picture is another story in itself — one which we have prevailed upon Carl Thomsen to write for a future issue of Home Movies. Thomsen has expended countless trips into the Northwest, no little disappointment, and considerable Kodachrome footage in order to accomplish what virtually became his life's work. That it is a motion picture masterpiece cannot be denied. Thomsen used a Cine-Kodak Special camera and Kodachrome film. His titles were printed by letterpress, photographed, and superimposed over beautiful hand painted art backgrounds. Highly proficient lap-dissolves are a highlight of the titling.
