On the last day of filming at Nazca Airport (which was actually Firebaugh's Eagle Field), a few people gathered to celebrate the wrap day, sharing a barbecue and a few beers. Harrison Ford asked Spielberg for a silver marker because he wanted to dedicate his iconic 1/3

Maestro John Williams confirmed that bringing Marion back to the series was one of his greatest achievements, and reinterpreting the character's theme was one of the most emotional experiences of his career. As Spielberg has often said, "You can't see a whip or 1/3

Having already worked on three Indiana Jones films, award-winning sound technician Ben Burtt recognized that they already had a sound pattern and style, as well as an archive to draw on. The first thing he had to do, however, was digitize the extensive analog archive 1/3

All ends well. Not only is Charles Stanford readmitted to Marshall College, but Indy is also readmitted and promoted. The adventure concludes in Los Angeles at the First Christian Church of North Hollywood in the San Fernando Valley. It was a magical moment in Karen 1/3

A lake is contained within the crater walls. An event causes the walls to collapse, resulting in the lake overflowing and filling the crater valley. This hides the temple and its remains beneath the water. The huge model was built at Kerner Optical under the 1/4

Once outside the temple, the heroes watch as a huge UFO emerges from the depths of the valley below their feet. The entire sequence was obviously generated by ILM techies, who resorted to particle software to make the valley appear to undergo a gravitational episode 1/3

The entire main cast decided to take on the whirlwind of the siphon scene, despite Ford's previous reluctance to work in wet clothes. The idea was simple: the cast would enter a circular enclosure and a giant tank 10 metres up would drop 2,000 litres of water into 1/3

The design of the 'generator room' shows a series of stone turbines on either side of the staircase. In fact, there was only one wheel at the top of the set, which was replicated and cloned to the top of the stairs by visual effects supervisor Pablo Helman's team at 1/3

The truth is that many scenes were shot against a blue screen background. Many more than in the entire original trilogy put together, and many more than Spielberg likes, but the truth is that some shots were so ambitious that the final production budget would have 1/3

The largest stage, the core of the temple, was digitised into 34,000 individual pieces. Once projected onto a blue set, special software had to be developed to make all these particles behave in a specific way, interacting with the rest of the stage, gravity and the 1/2

One of the most challenging things was the destruction of the core at the end of the film. It's basically taking the temple and turning it into particles. It was a different concept of destruction because the particle simulation had to be completely realistic. But 1/3

They were divided into groups of bones. Hands, feet, legs... Then they had to be put together like a very precise jigsaw puzzle. There was a slight variation in the 13 bodies - they could be a little bluer or a more subtle shade of purple. They had their own 1/3

The aliens that appear at the end of the film are over 2.5 metres tall, and the artists had to draw inspiration from all sorts of motifs, such as bird bones, which are extremely light and fragile and tend to take on a truly sculptural form. As with the crystal 1/3

Cate Blanchett ended her participation right after this sequence, at the end of July. Just two weeks later, on 10 August, she gave an interview for MTV News and was asked about her favourite film in the saga: "I have a soft spot for the first one because I adore 1/3

The core of the temple is pure imagination and not based on any model. This set took a long time to build, simply because of the remarkable level of detail. It was oppressively hot on the set, not only because it was filmed in summer, but because it was enclosed 1/3

And even though the key to opening it relied on paranormal or magical means, Spielberg insisted that it should be built for real, rather than having ILM's digital technicians do it. The device had a set of pendulums, counterweights and pneumatic pistons, and even 1/3

The well, filled with water and rotting corpses, leads to a huge red door through an ancient repository of knowledge, where samples from every culture in human history are stored. The gate was designed by Guy H. Dyas, built by Dan Sudick and engineered at Warner Bros. 1/3
