First Jack and then Ennis traipsed up and down the mountain twice a day to baby-sit the woolies.

Aguirre violates Forest Service regulations when he tells Jack to sleep with the sheep and keep it on the Q.T.

Are you sure you have all of them? That list is amazing. Who knew?

"W" is woollen

The morning after TS1, Ennis crawled out from under his woollen blanket feeling woolly-headed and worrying about the woollies.

"X" is xtensiveness
« Reply #13244 on: May 25, 2007, 06:07:02 pm »
Jack and Ennis could have no awareness of the xtensiveness of their contribution to the economy by just guarding a flock of sheep.

Aguirre made it clear that on no account should Forrest Service find out that Jack was sleeping with the sheep.

"B" is bellow
« Reply #13247 on: May 26, 2007, 12:50:02 am »
Ennis and Jack knew they didn't have to bellow at the dogs to get them to move the sheep in the right direction; they used a series of whistles instead.

"C" is CGI
« Reply #13248 on: May 26, 2007, 10:37:29 am »
There were 75 visual effects shots created for the film by the Canadian house Buzz Image Group. Of these, 15 were of CGI sheep. The film called for about 2,500 sheep, but only 700 were on-set, necessitating the additional woolly creations. Also created for the film were sky replacements, set additions, erasures and the hail in the hailstorm.

"D" is disentangle
« Reply #13249 on: May 26, 2007, 11:43:19 am »
When Aguirre's sheep got mixed in with the Chilean sheep, it was almost impossible to disentangle them because the paint brands had faded.

Thanks.
