"In
the pre-credit sequence, Bond's Aston Martin
sprays the villains, and the screen fills with
water. I thought it could lead into the girls
swimming around, so I shot them in an underwater
tank, in silhouette. These were two gals who swam
professionally, in nightclub tanks, but they said
they didn't want to swim nude. I told them that
if they wore bikinis, it wouldn't quite work. As
a compromise they agreed to makeup as dark as
possible. Then they walked out on the deck of the
tank, absolutely nude and said: "This is not
us. We're unrecognizable." We photographed
them underwater against white panel and I did the
bubbles against a black velvet background. It was
all shot in black and white and I put the colour
in optically."
