Sylvain wanted the movie to start out monochromatic and move in to colour as they traveled to Scotland. The idea was abandoned and the colourkeys not used in the end. There’s still something about them that I like though. So I’ll post them here.</p>http://www.bjornsblog.com/post/4293128892http://www.bjornsblog.com/post/4293128892Sat, 02 Apr 2011 22:37:57 +0100EdinburghThe IllusionistFilm<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lj1ndn9kvy1qczub4o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://www.bjornsblog.com/post/4293125247http://www.bjornsblog.com/post/4293125247Sat, 02 Apr 2011 22:37:47 +0100EdinburghThe IllusionistFilmColourPaintingKeys<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lj1ncvmCsF1qczub4o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://www.bjornsblog.com/post/4293123389http://www.bjornsblog.com/post/4293123389Sat, 02 Apr 2011 22:37:42 +0100EdinburghThe IllusionistFilmColourPaintingKeys<img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lj1neeJu8w1qczub4o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>This was a colour study to explore the palette of The Illusionist.
