The original camera and lighting crew consisted only the cinematographer Hannu Peltomaa, assistant camera Jaakko Talaskivi and lighting technician Olavi Tuomi. When both Talaskivi and Tuomi left in mid-production (the latter at the request of Edvin Laine), assistant camera Kari Kekkonen and lighting technician Esa Vuorinen replaced them. Vuorinen was the cinematographer in Milka: Elokuva tabuista (1980), the next feature film by director Rauni Mollberg.
