Chang #13

chang-13, originally uploaded by bucklesw1. No sooner does Kru and his family reach the village, when a herd of wild elephants comes crashing out of the jungle. (To film the charging herd from ground level, Schoedsack had a pit dug and covered with heavy logs. A low turret of logs was built in the center so that the camera could be placed above ground level. A herd of wild elephants was driven toward and over the covered pit, result in one of the film’s most spectacular scenes.)
