In Search of Filming Locations for ABC's Lost

Home of the Monster

While Jack, Kate and Charlie explore the valley, back on the beach the survivors huddle under the plane wreckage in a heavy rainstorm. Suddenly the ominous sound of the "monster" is heard coming from the valley, leading Claire to say, "there it is again." The view Claire sees is actually the view that is seen looking inland from Mokule'ia Beach, the actual beach where the plane wreckage set was built. This same scene forms the background later in the Part 2 of the series pilot when Jack operates on the Marshall who was escorting Kate to the United States.

The jungle in the forefront where the trees collapse one by one as the monster passes was actually superimposed by CGI graphics.
