There's a sky shot in Kurosawa's Ran that might work. It's during the attack on the one sons house by another son. It shows the sunlight's rays coming down with the sun obscured.
I'll be borrowing that immediately.
Perfect Cloud shot in the Truman Show... 1:27:51 in Reverse. I really think this will work
And for the tower shot, the new Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, might need to be darkened, but try the 15:17 Mark and 27:48 Mark. It should blend in quite well.
Jra166ptd, thank you so much for signing up to help me out! Would it be possible to upload the shots you're talking about? No problem if you can't; it'll just take me time to get a hold of copies of those films.
Yes, BTTF part II intro.
If you need the clip or screenshots, I can supply them if you don't have the DVD yourself.
Thanks so much, HAL. I don't own this DVD (or for that matter, any of the others mentioned).
If anyone could upload screenshots of what they're talking about, that'd be great too!
