‘Transformers One’ | Anatomy of a Scene

Hello, my identify is Josh Cooley. I’m the director of “Transformers One.” “We have to hurry.” “I nonetheless assume we have now higher odds combating than outrunning them.” “Wait, we have now cogs! We are able to rework now.” “That’s proper.” This scene is about midway in the midst of the film after we see that our 4 characters who weren’t capable of rework earlier than get these transformation cogs. And so that is our first probability to have the ability to rework of their total life. I’m excited about the precise toy of a Transformer. I had all of the toys rising up. More often than not, they had been simply form of sitting round on the bottom half reworked as a result of they had been truly fairly arduous to do. And so I believed it could be enjoyable to truly see our characters wrestle form of with the identical means that I struggled with the toy, which isn’t absolutely figuring out methods to do it. It’s truly a second to have some reduction, some comedy reduction in right here. However there’s nonetheless hazard. They’re nonetheless being chased. They’re nonetheless being attacked. So one of many issues that was essential was to not overlook that. And so you’ll be able to hear the sound and the blasters from the weapons which are being shot at them. Every thing is telling us that it is a very severe scene. However what’s occurring to them is definitely humorous. And I believe a part of the comedy that performs effectively is as a result of we’re not poking enjoyable at it or making an attempt to wink on the viewers. It is a actual hazard that they’re in.
