The formidable task of lighting Prague at night presented cinematographer Stephen H. Burum and his crew with a complex array of logistics. Two miles of riverfront on either side of Prague's historic Charles Bridge had to be predominantly backlit in order to best evoke an atmosphere of old Europe. The preparation alone consumed about two weeks before the twelve-day shoot along the banks of the Vltava River even began. Eleven generators were used to power hundreds of lights, and so impressive was the end result, amateur and professional Czech photographers appeared in droves, eager to capture their city's nightscape as it had never been seen before.
