...four of us struggled to "papoose" the boy - strapping him down to a casket-shaped plywood board with big thick Velcro flaps - so firmly that he would be safely immobilized while I injected, cleansed, trimmed and sutured. Without the wiggling this was not too hard. With him still awake it was an acceptable struggle, far less dangerous than a general anesthetic for a medically unknown toddler with a full stomach...
...wheels, Cavalli chooses one that depicts a zebra stripe and, with the help of an employee, places the screen over a table that is stretched tightly with plain white silk.

The slices were then digitally recombined into 3-D computer images that were used to make exact copies out of plastic. The replica of the skull has already enabled scientists to clear up a popular misconception...
...Maya, the subtitles, it won?t even matter in this film," because of its fast-paced action, said Gibson, as thick black kiln smoke wafted across the set. Then he picked up the bullhorn again and approached another crowd of extras covered like ghosts in thick white limestone powder. "Try to think of what makes you most afraid!" he shouted.? "My mother!" an extra shouted back. Gibson smiled and nodded at the crew: "I told you this film was going to be very, very different...
