Here's the first of our many cats.
:04:06
We used a whole variety
of animals on this.

:04:12
Some real leopards,
some mountain lions dyed black.

:04:17
This is a mountain lion dyed black.
:04:23
We used a Chinese leopard
that we had dyed black.

Each animal's good for a different task.

and put it inside the camera
so that the two eyes would line up.

:05:11
So when the live actress
and the film actress,

:05:15

:05:19
That way you could dissolve
between faces

:05:23
and have one face turn into another.

So when the cameraman
is looking at this young actress here...

:05:37

in the airport at the same time

:05:45
and then the eyes line up.
:05:51
Like that.
