I loved the pastel colors!


To create the desaturated pastel effect image of the movie, director of photography 'Oswald Morris' used a unique dye transfer technique that uses broad-cut black and white matrices. This causes the separation, and contains the other two colors before recombining to create the desire effect. A silver layer was later added in the 4th pass.
