- An AR Steadicam rig was used for most of the film's shots, with the operator stripping it down to standard Steadicam configuration for specific scenes such as interior sequences and the card game holdup.
- The cinematographer favored the AR rig for its aesthetic qualities.
- Low-fidelity lighting solutions and manipulation of older Panavision lenses were employed to achieve the film's visual style.
Depends on
