The blur effect that appears halfway through the war scene between Maximus' Army and the Germanic tribes was not originally intended. The scene was shot in the early evening, but continued too long, and the light was drastically diminished. In order to keep the continuity of the scene's lighting, and avoid shooting another day on the location, director of photography John Mathieson chose instead to shoot the scenes with a very low frame rate. To compensate for the loss of frames, the frames that were shot were duplicated several times in post-production, and edited into the film in a way that made the switch look natural.
