:43:01
Obviously, this was a show
that was pretty heavy on special effects.

:43:11
Here's the triumphant real leopard.
:43:16
A kind of little surreal, magical shot.
:43:23
In the pre-digital era you were stuck,
in many cases,

:43:28
trying to do things in real time
:43:34
and you couldn't go back
and clean them up.

:43:37
Here is a very Scarfiotti detail.
:43:42
This is a set he built.
:43:45
Underneath that tarp
is a priceless, old, vintage MG,

:43:52
which we never see.
:43:55
That kind of thing tickled him -
:43:57
put a beautiful MG under there
but let's never look at it.

:44:01
Here's a shot coming up
from Conformist.

:44:05
It's where you go on a Dutch
:44:07
and you use the opening of a gate
to skew you back to the horizontal.

:44:15
In Conformist, that angle is used
at Trintignant's mother's house.

:44:22
When he goes there and opens the gate
:44:27
it goes from the skew to the horizontal.
:44:31
John and I didn't fool around
too much with gels here.

:44:35
I mean in this film, but in this case
we decided to have a little fun

:44:41
and break out the lime gels.
:44:48
Those shadows on the walls
are simply pieces of tape

:44:53
put up to create an interesting effect.
