Cat People

primarily because this is
such an androgynous looking shot,

1:36:06

her hair in this scene looks so boyish.

1:36:19

I think this was one
of the little snippets

1:36:23

there was some talk of
people trying to get me to take out,

1:36:30

but I was fond of it
for the reason I mentioned,

1:36:34

the androgyny of it was really cool.

1:37:06

So the upcoming transformation,

1:37:11

which is triggered by the fly,

1:37:19

is all done in individual pieces

1:37:22

until, finally, you cut to a real leopard

1:37:28

bursting through a sort of placenta.

1:37:33

Again, a scene like this today

1:37:38

is more interesting
historically than dramatically

1:37:41

because we do this stuff

1:37:43

so much more effectively
and seamlessly today.

1:37:52

Today you could morph her whole face

1:37:55

and you wouldn't
have to do it cut by cut.
