We used 35mm and 16mm Kodak
:19:02
as film
:19:04
and negative backing.
:19:09
During postproduction,
:19:13
we took great care of
of the printing process,
:19:17
as one usually does
when making a movie:
:19:21
You develop, make a print
and get the copy.
:19:25
The cinematographer
:19:29
works with a developing laboratory
:19:31
in order to otpimize
:19:36
the photographic potential
:19:40
that he wanted to emphasize.
:19:46
I was also making the costumes.
Before going to Leticia,
:19:51
we were in New York
to meet the actors
:19:56
who were to come with us
to Amazonia.
:20:01
We went shopping
to find the costumes
:20:06
of the "occidental" actors.
:20:08
But for the cannibals,
:20:14
the costumes were inspired
by 'Cenciama'.
:20:18
These were paintings
that were traditionally done
:20:22
on trees' bark.
:20:24
This bark is very supple.
It can be bent, humidified
:20:29
and given any kind of shapes.
:20:31
All the costumes of the movie
were made of this bark.
:20:37
We didn't do anything bad,
everything was false.
:20:43
Indians were not maltreated.
