This movie was made in such an outstanding way that you have a hard time telling which parts were computer animated, and you don't notice the small but amazing details. That's why I put together this part of the page, to tell you more. All the info I have here I collected from a variety of sources. So... Did you know:

• Of course you know... the movie cost about $200,000,000 to make.
  
• When you see a shot of the Titanic, it may not all be computer animated. They built a scale model of the ship and floated it in a 17,000,000 gallon water tank, in addition to several other smaller models.
  
• The carpets you sometimes see (such as in the dining room) were actually made by the same people that wove the carpets for R.M.S. Titanic approx. 100 years ago.
  
• At the Southampton dock scene, all the words (such as on the truck and White Star Line caps) were printed backwards in real life. This was because the real Titanic was docked on one side of the Southampton dock and the movie set had the Titanic on the opposite side. In order to be historically accurate, the whole scene had to be flipped after filming.
  
• In the "I'm the King of the World" scene... the dolphins are real! (The ship is not, of course.)
  
• When Rose and Jack were "flying", the sunset was actually real! For most of the scene, at least. The whole scene was actually patched together from several takes. Some with the real sunset, some with Leo and Kate filmed in front of a green screen.
  
• In the drawing scene, the hand was actually James Cameron's. (Sorry, Leo didn't draw the pic.)
  
• Computers for the sinking? Nope. They really destroyed the set (such as the one at the Grand Staircase) on camera with lots of water and tremendous force.
  
• They taped most water scenes in tanks, and the water was actually moderately cool, according to Kate...
  
• That was a rubber ax Kate used to cut Jack's handcuffs
  
• In the cold outdoor scenes, computers added the breath.
  
• They had to redo the scene where Rose spits Cal 27 times. Nice, huh?
  
• For really dangerous scenes, they used computer animation and foam dummies. In case there were real people in these scenes, everything like chairs or "metal" objects were constructed with foam.
