I was watching one SS Wilson’s “Lost Tapes” of Tremors, and it showed how how you guys made that little “tremor” scene with the pebbles moving down the dirt bank before you cut to Rhonda, with it being done originally with little pops of a sort, before changing it to a wire. I’ve had to wonder, did any of you think about instead using a little stage, creating a desert themed layout with sand, mounting it onto a sort of vibration generator and attempt to get the same desired effect?

I have to say we did not think about those things.  Building a miniature set would have been time consuming and more expensive (we were a low budget movie!) Also, when we went out to do the shot we thought it was going to work like we planned it. Only when it didn’t did we have to quickly improvise.
