Writer and director Terrence Malick and director of photography John Toll shot for one hundred days in Australia using Panavision cameras and lenses, twenty-four days in the Solomon Islands, and three days in the United States. They scouted the historic battlefields on Guadalcanal and shot footage, but health concerns over malaria limited filming to daylight hours only. Logistics were also difficult to shoot the entire film there: As Toll put it, "It is still a bit difficult to get on and off the island, and we had some scenes that involved two hundred or three hundred extras. We would have had to bring everybody to Guadalcanal, and financially, it just didn't make sense."
