Special Filming Techniques and Props
The
title on the left was at first , through special effects, inserted
into scenes. After finding out the great cost of doing all thecamera and art work, it
was found to be far much cheaper to order a roll of titles and insert
a few frames between scenes!
As
with the title on the right.
The
costume of this monster was used originally in the
Lost In Space episode
,
The
Questing Beast
in 1966
It was reused in the Batman Episode " How To Hatch A Dinosaur " in late 1967
The scene of the batmobile leaving the bat cave was really filmed at Bronson Cavern in Hollywood Hills. This cave was used in many horror films including body snatchers. The problem they ran into when filming the scene was that the Batmobile was just about the same width as the cave entrance. To keep from ripping the fenders off of George Barris's creation, they undercranked the cameras so it could come out slowly and then later speed up the film to give the illusion of speed!
