Video: ‘Transformers One’ | Anatomy of a Scene

Hello, my title 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 course of the film once we see that our 4 characters who weren’t in a position to rework earlier than get these transformation cogs. And so that is our first likelihood to have the ability to rework of their complete life. I’m enthusiastic about the precise toy of a Transformer. I had all of the toys rising up. More often than not, they have been simply form of sitting round on the bottom half reworked as a result of they have been truly fairly arduous to do. And so I believed it could be enjoyable to truly see our characters battle form of with the identical manner that I struggled with the toy, which isn’t absolutely realizing find out how 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 neglect that. And so you’ll be able to hear the sound and the blasters from the weapons which can be being shot at them. Every part is telling us that this can be a very critical scene. However what’s taking place to them is definitely humorous. And I feel a part of the comedy that performs properly is as a result of we’re not poking enjoyable at it or making an attempt to wink on the viewers. This can be a actual hazard that they’re in.
