A scaffolding representing the statue and it's spires was built on the other (north? west?), public-facing side of Point Dume, and the shots of the spires and the overhead shot of Taylor and Nova approaching the statue on horseback was shot from the top of Point Dune and/or the scaffolding there. The shots of Taylor dismounting and kneeling in the sand while Nova remains on the horse, however, were shot at Pirates Cove (I.e., on the other side of Point Dume. I was there in 2015, which is when I found this info, and from being there in person it makes sense to me. My family members and I didn't get into Pirates Cove perse, but we walked the trails along the top of Point Dume and saw it from above. You can also see while up there that the biggest overhead shot in the final sequence, showing Taylor and Nova when they cross from right to left on horseback along the shoreline when they have not yet encountered the statue, was obviously shot from the top of Point Dume looking into Pirates Cove <br /><br />Regarding another question raised here, I believe the horses and much of the crew were kept on Point Dume or on its other, more-facing side while only those necessary crew members and actors were brought into Pirates Cove. Roddy McDowell's home movies show how he was helicoptered in there Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5575732787738596693.post-18263322242256907612022-09-27T15:29:22.978-07:002022-09-27T15:29:22.978-07:00Question: The shot at Pirates Cove.
