I still don't understand it.
Can someone please tell me how Zbigniew Rybczynski made this film? I really can't understand what he did. All I can see is that the film is fantastic and must have been a painstaking venture.
well im guessing that he fimled it all at once, with everyone given their own thing to do in the scene, they all go and do it at the same time (which is why no one runs into each other on the final flim), and then he by hand cut and sliced it all together again. So he has the basic background of the room as a steady shot, and then just pastes over each character scene by scene.
Im not sure it would be THAT painstaking, it would take time I guess, without computers of course.
Is this the live-action thing, where lots of actions get looped around and overlap? I saw something many years ago, one of the things that happened is that a soccer player kicks a ball in through a window, then climbs through the window to retrieve it. And there was a girl either dressing or undressing. Lots of people coming in and going out, and as the loops build there are more and more, then slowly the loops drop away and at the end there is only one person, or none.
shareYes, it is that one.
As for the previous post, I gather from an interview with Zbigniew that it somehow had to be done in an extremely delicate way. He said there were some nervous moments when the film broke and it had to be repaired in complete darkness. I think that would not have been so serious if it had involved more post-production. I get the impression that a single mistake could have ruined it.
