Visible crew/equipment: Near the climax, Will Graham is sneaking through the woods, approaching Dollarhyde's house. In one shot, Graham steps more carefully and glances down; the camera is in front of him moving as he's moving. And for a couple of seconds, the camera dolly tracks are visible behind him, just to his left.

Hannibal Lecktor: If one does what God does enough times, one will become as God is.
Trivia: In the final confrontation between Dollarhyde and Graham, Tom Noonan had to lie in a pool of stage blood for several hours as the crew worked on other shots. After all this time, the stage blood dried into a thick, cement-like adhesive that all but fused Noonan to the carpet.

Chosen answer: He wears the stocking over his face for two reasons: (a) to protect his identity (to make Lounds think he'll survive) and (b) remember that Francis believes he is an "ugly monster" so he is also wearing the stocking to defer judgement away from him.
