Gaumont Unit Films Eagle Flight For The Great Barrier
Two Gaumont British members Sepp Algeier and Rudolf Remmer spent a full day in British Columbia and Alberta mountains to capture an eagle in flight for The Great Barrier. They climbed rough terrain near the Kootenay Central line south of Golden to film two eagles in one take and another bird, despite heavy gear and six hours waiting. The shot, from real locales 6,000 miles from London, ties to Major Hell's Bells Rogers pursuing a rail route, and references Eagle Pass as CPR history.
