The Hades landscape in the opening shot was filmed using forced perspective. The miniature was only 13 feet deep and 18 feet wide. Smoke was used extensively to create a sense of depth. To keep the level of smoke consistent during shooting, a smoke detector was connected to a smoke generator, and would signal it when it had to produce more smoke. Almost 7 miles of fiber optics and over 2,000 lights were needed to illuminate the landscape. In order to film the entire sequence, the same piece of film was exposed multiple times, each time filming a different element in the shot (such as structures, light, fire, and vehicles). In order for all takes to match up, the exact camera movement had to be repeated with a motion-controlled camera up to seventeen times. This put so much stress on the film that the special effects team would often find that the camera had ripped the film to shreds.
