2. What problem did director Gary Ross encounter while filming "Seabiscuit?"

Answer: He couldn't shoot the close ups of the actors while they were on horseback

To fix this problem, the technical crew decorated an equicizer to look like two horses. It could race down the track, move the heads of the horses, and make them look like they are racing, etc. They named it the S.S. Seabiscuit.

Answer: Just hold 'em through that last turn, and let 'em get a good look at the Admiral, and let 'em go!

Seabiscuit ran on, intimidating other horses. If he could just look the competition in the eye, it would give him enough energy to win the race.
