“We were setting up to do this shot. We just want to see Cate sort of tugging this child along as he’s forgetting how to walk. And she walked off down the sidewalk and they kind of edged over to the edge of frame and disappeared behind the tree. Then, right at this moment the little boy tugs on her hand and she bends down to find out what it is that he wants and he puckers up his lips and gives her this kiss. And I’m watching this on the monitor and I’m going, ‘Oh my God, that’s amazing.’ I mean, I wish it was a little more center framed, but it was amazing. And then the picture starts to bounce, the whole image starts to bounce, and I look over and Kim Marks who’s the camera operator has taken his eye off the eyepiece and he’s looking at me and he’s giving me the thumbs up and he’s nodding his head. (laughs) and I’m yelling at him, ‘Turn around and put your eye on the eyepiece!’ We had to go back in and stabilize the shot. It’s one of those things where the happy accident becomes your friend and then of course your enemy is enthusiasm and excitement.” - David Fincher, Benjamin Button commentary
