00:02 - And Hailey, before they kick me out of here,

00:07 the watercolors used for Gwen's world

00:09 are some of the most remarkable visuals I've ever seen.

00:12 The way that the colors change in the scenes

00:14 to match the emotions.

00:15 When did you finally get to see a finished product

00:18 of what that might look like in the scenes?

00:21 - It's always so funny whenever the filmmakers

00:25 choose to show any version of any clip,

00:29 it's always prefaced with like,

00:30 it's not colored or it's not done or just trust us.

00:34 And if they didn't say anything,

00:36 I would think it was just absolute perfection

00:38 at every stage.

00:40 But it wasn't until I saw the film in its entirety

00:42 that I got to see everything that they were talking about.

00:47 And it is truly, truly, truly so incredible

00:49 and moving and captivating.

00:52 And yeah, I'm biased, but Gwen's world is pretty beautiful.

00:58 Every frame of this movie could be hung

01:00 on the wall of a museum and honestly belongs there.

01:02 - What was that thing about the mood ring again?

01:04 - That was how it was first described to me by Kemp

01:07 and Loretta Miller.

01:08 They basically just said,

01:10 "To give you an idea of what Gwen's world is,

01:12 it's like a mood ring.

01:14 It will visually change as her circumstances change

01:20 and the emotions that she feels,

01:21 we will feel in the audience on screen."

01:25 - My God, it works so well.

01:26 All right, they're kicking me out.

01:27 Thank you guys, I appreciate your time.

01:28 - Thank you. - Thank you.
