The Making Of "Robot Invasion"

c>log
Here is a sample transcript of some of the conversations that happened during the making of "Robot Invasion". Originally recorded by El Vez Jones on his brand new pocket tape recorder, the conversations were translated by Stella, our new studio intern, bartender and sandwich maker.
Recorded before the start of filming:
El Vez: Hey man!
Lumbergh: Hey, What’s up?
El Vez: Yeah. Yeah. I know. Anyway, listen:
Lumbergh: - yeah.
El Vez: For the shoot - I wanna talk about the look. I wanted to see about getting this new zoom lens...
Lumbergh: Right.
El Vez: I wondered if we’d be able to look into getting some more lights, too, y’know...
Lumbergh: The Artist wants a minimal-thing...
El Vez: Right, well, very often, minimal means a lot more photographically than I think, well... than I think most people understand...
Lumbergh: I understand.
El Vez: No, no. Hey. I know you understand, I was talking about some other people.
Lumbergh: Well, I think what The Artist is talking about is minimal, not really “natural”, but minimal...
El Vez:  Okay... fine... I was just saying...
Lumbergh: I understand...
El Vez: - ‘cause The Artist is trying to give each picture it’s own look...
Lumbergh: Can we talk about this later?
El Vez: Oh, yeah... you have to go somewhere... or...?
Lumbergh: Well, no, yeah... I mean...
El Vez: ‘Cause I was hoping to, y’know, for the shoot tomorrow, we could send Stella down and she could pick it up...maybe bring some more donuts and some of that good beer she brews...

Overheard on the set:
The Artist: Before you turn around, you’ve spent maybe 20, 25, 30 dollars on a movie. The Colonel puts up the money for the films. It's an important part of the process...

Donuts are an important part of the process too...
