The Artus DVD, Part 2


Once the credits are finished, the film goes into the widescreen format:


Here you can see the difference with the earlier credits sequence, which is all in full-frame:


Carl, Dr. Callistratus' assistant, has been watching this. His back is turned to the camera, then he advances to the camera and turns around to withdraw a brutal knife. His face is still not seen. Carl backing into the camera is just for effect. It realistically does not make sense, considering what will happen next.


The digger is alone, the others at the grave having left. Carl turns again, and goes around a rock toward the digger. The digger hears him nearing, and shocked by what he sees, he puts up no fight, even as he holds a shovel in this hand.


More to come.
