◗ Cold Case
Lisbeth’s
sleuthing skills
shine a light
on some
horrifying
secrets.
QuickTime movies of the background
plates through the panels and project
the reflections and interactive light
directly from the background plates
onto the car and the actors. The LED
panels were 3 feet high by 14 feet long
on both sides of the car, and we added
another for the back and front windows.
Using this system, we got real interactive
lighting from the actual background
plates, so it feels much more authentic.”
To reduce spill and reflections
from the greenscreen, Skinner hung
Duvetyn on curtain tracks so he could
mask off any area of green that wasn’t
directly behind the actors.
One pivotal scene that was reshot
because of script changes shows young
Harriet outside a cottage and boathouse
on a waterfront Vanger property. The
scene was originally shot on location in
Stockholm, but when the filmmakers
returned for reshoots, they discovered
the property had new owners who had
torn down both buildings. In addition, a
winter storm had killed two large trees
that helped make the location unique.
A sharp snap
splits the
silvery silence.
A whisper of
time, suspended.
