Flat lizard display

To capture the lizards jumping, a Super-16mm camera ran at 6 times the normal speed (150fps). The already difficult balance between getting the action and using up expensive film stock was compounded by the treacherous location. The cameraman was secured by rope and a climbing harness to prevent him falling from the rocks into the river below.
