In the scene where Spock watches Kirk's ascent, and saves him when he slips and falls using levitating boots, most of the shots framed Leonard Nimoy from the waist up; in these scenes the actor was supported by a crane that gave the appropriate float to achieve the effect. Bluescreen footage of William Shatner falling was shot later at Paramount Studios and composited, while stuntman Ken Bates set a record for the highest American descender fall by plummeting off El Capitan - with a wire support rig - for long shots.
