Black Swan: Metamorphosis

00:00:13 We are the first day of shooting.

00:02:07 trying to figure out what the balance of dark and light is

00:04:09 My little princess.

00:05:57 ARONOFSKY: Cut! Good. Very nice. Check the gate.

00:08:28 MAN: Sound's good.

00:10:39 They would have details for each room, where particular elements went.

00:12:32 Not only did we use reflections in actual mirrors

00:14:39 It's been a cakewalk, really

00:17:16 Your fouettées are like a spider spinning a web.

00:18:56 because it's such an epic piece of performance.

00:20:41 I'm really lucky to work with such talented people

00:22:29 I need that 14 on a stick, guys.

00:24:28 Laugh it out.

00:26:18 if you hear me scream "cut," just freeze, okay?

00:27:51 Easily, in the wrong hands, it would be very cheesy and very silly.

00:29:27 THOMAS: Not so stiff.

00:31:29 No, that's all right. I could cut around that. What's important to me is the arms.

00:33:28 because you always know what you're in for, for that day

00:35:35 It's fun to watch, it's fun to go on a roller coaster.

00:38:08 and the difficulty was the limitation in money.

00:39:54 The swan feather images were used as reference

00:44:28 Julie Kent, at the ABT, asking her

00:46:49 and I used that as some of my reference for Rothbart

05:00:00 roll up your sleeves and do the work
