Look for this



I've worked in the spfx/model business on and off for 30 years and perhaps know a little bit about how much work is required to pull off something spfx-wise that looks at least reasonably convincing.
As a gag, the spfx crew pulled a little gag on the public, and, as a result, I'll never look at this film the same way again.
When the Titanic surfaces and is completely out of water, the camera pans across the deck.....Okay eagle eyes, take a gander at the deck, midway through the ship and you'll see a little something that looks out of place. Upon closer examination you'll see this item is a pair of tiny figures pushing up and down on a hand pump!.......Doubt me? Check it out......One of my spfx friends pointed it out and I've never forgotten it.

Can you give me the time and second's into the movie when this happens?

I noticed that. It looks like one of those little figures that would look like it's winding one of those miniature windmills in the wind.

It's at the 1:49:11 mark and looks like one figure to me.

It's at 1:26:32, your mark is at the end in the graveyard....

yes, its there, i saw this film at the cinema when it first came out too, i have it at 1.22.49 and it does look like a little clockwork man working the pumps, its a nice touch like R2D2 on the underside of the mothership in close encounters..... made me smile.
