The Little Vampire picture

Visible crew/equipment: Sometimes, especially at night, you can see the lights of the equipment reflect off of Tony's glasses. We know this isn't the moon or a car light because for one thing it's the wrong shape and when Rudolf is sucking blood out of the cow there is no moon or car nearby. So there is only one place the light could have come from, and that would be the crew equipment.

Tarzan and the Lost City picture

Visible crew/equipment: Just after Tarzan goes under the stone door, he finds the torches dropped by the bad guys. The flame from one of the torches is reflected in the camera lens, and was caught on tape. It looks like a single, unattached flame is hovering on the stone wall nearby. This is made even better when Tarzan picks up the torch and then drops it, the reflection follows his movements precisely.
