A man named Robert Blalack came up
with a technique we finally used.

1:02:06
One thing that Scarfiotti said
when he first saw the film

1:02:09
was one of the things he liked a lot
about Nastassia's body

1:02:14
was that it didn't look like an American
body, it looked like a European body.

1:02:20
And I think that's true.
1:02:28
In this upcoming sequence
1:02:32
what we did was we dyed the rabbit,
1:02:37
I think a kind of orange colour,
1:02:40
and the snake,
1:02:42
so we were able then to manipulate
the colour in the printing process.

1:02:50
Today it's a common technique -
all done digitally.

1:02:53
The whole image can be black and white
and the snake any colour you want.

1:02:58
But back then you had to dye
the animals certain colours

1:03:02
that would react to
different printing in different ways.

1:03:26
Actually, the man who did this...
1:03:31
The original idea
came from a movie called Wolfen,

1:03:35
where you had a wolf vision,
1:03:37
and this was meant to be
the parallel thing - the cat vision.

1:03:54
I want to talk at some point
about Moroder,
