Digital effects super visor Nicholas Cerniglia says the director wanted to slow down the action in a boxing scene, and due to the camera flashes that oc- curred throughout the shot, a retime effect needed to be applied, warping objects and people. "The boxer's arms, back and head, as well as the boxing ring floor and ropes had frame," Cerniglia explains. The "after" image (below) which a large amount of hand plates were applied to correct tifacts and distor tions caused dio used Timewarp for the retime CS4 for the painting.
