Video: ‘Transformers One’ | Anatomy of a Scene

Hello, my identify is Josh Cooley. I am the director of “Transformers One.” “We have to hurry.” “I nonetheless assume we now have a greater likelihood of preventing them than working away.” “Wait, we now have gears! We are able to remodel now.” “That is proper.” This scene is midway by way of the film once we see that our 4 characters who could not remodel earlier than get these gears to remodel. And so that is our first likelihood to have the ability to remodel in our whole lives. I am desirous about the precise Transformer toy. I had all of the toys as a child. More often than not, they had been simply type of sitting on the ground, half-transformed, as a result of they had been actually exhausting to do. And so I assumed it could be enjoyable to see our characters battle the identical method I struggled with the toy, which isn’t realizing precisely the best way to do it. It is truly a second to have some aid, some comedian aid there. However there’s nonetheless hazard. They’re nonetheless being chased. They’re nonetheless being attacked. So one of many issues that was vital was to not neglect that. After which you possibly can hear the sound and the blasters of the weapons being fired at them. Every part is telling us that it is a very severe scene. However what’s taking place to them is definitely humorous. And I feel a part of the comedy that works nicely is as a result of we’re not making enjoyable of it or making an attempt to wink on the viewers. It is a actual hazard that they are in.
