Not Andy’s Hands
Although Tim Robbins played Andy Dufrense, the close-up pictures of his hands belong to filmmaker Frank Darabont. Darabont finalized the moments in which Dufrense’s hands load the revolver in the opening scene then carve his name onto his cell wall in post-production. Darabont wanted the sequences done a certain manner and felt he needed to execute them himself to get the final product he envisioned, thus Robbins’ hands were not used.
