"Unlike most crews on 3-D movies, who work on elaborate soundstages and backlots, the team on "Cave of Forgotten Dreams" had to capture their image in tight spaces, on narrow metal walkways and within government-limited times. They were restricted to four hours a day, mainly to limit their exposure to toxic gases. They could bring just three light panels."
"Cave" is Herzog's first foray into 3-D filmmaking, and while he called the equipment "clumsy," he expressed delight with how the technology makes the cave blossom in the mind. He said his biggest regret was that certain conditions hindered filming of a beautiful owl. "I do have some doubts whether these people understood themselves as artists, but this was great art," he said. "You go to antiquity and Renaissance painting and the 20th century, and it never got better. It has something youthful, something dynamic, confident."
