Lots of great technical info and information related to the thought process of how each chapter would be shot, including the original intent of shooting all of the 2nd chapter, the “french new wave” part of the film, in black and white, and why that plan failed. Also is this, on QT’s desire to avoid touching the film digitally:
“Quentin’s intention was to do a strictly chemical film,” explains Richardson. “No digital intermediate. This approach was crucial to his perspective on the filmmaking process, little to no reliance upon new technology. Four-perf, dailies, edit on flatbed, cut negative, IP/IN, release prints. In camera was his preference and order, from photography and processing to final print, as well as to how the various departments, whether visual effects (helmed by John Dykstra) or special effects were required to view their work.
“Even the final explosion in the theatre was to be real. No CG images at all. The various scalping or gun wounds were all to be done in camera. That’s the charm and one reason for the success of style that Quentin employed with this film.”
