- Sir Malcolm, thank you so much again
for doing our movie,
and playing the role of our hero, Supremeon.
Um, I'm sorry, I just have to say,
your role as King Lear was incredible.
It was one of the most amazing performances
I've ever seen.
- Oh, but you flatter me, thank you.
I'm excited to perform in my first Hollywood blockbuster!
Huzzah!
- Ah ha!
Oh, sorry, sorry.
- Oh, it's fine, I'm fine.
It happens.
Hollywood!
- Ah, yeah.
[chuckles]
- Oh...
[audience laughter]
It appears your set isn't even built,
you've called me in early.
- Oh, yeah, right,
so remember when I explained a lot of this movie
is gonna be shot on a green screen?
So we're gonna add the digital effects
later in post,
so this actually is the set.
- Ah, yes!
Yes, of course, I understand completely,
well done.
- Oh, thank you.
So in this scene, we're gonna jump right in,
you confront the great space demon Razlor.
- Razlor!
- Ah, there you go, yeah!
Uh, he's ten feet tall,
so just remember to keep your eyes up.
- Ah, yes, yes, of course, yes.
- All right, uh, folks, let's settle.
- Ah, thank you.
Tanner: Places everyone.
- [chuckles]
- And, action.
[audience laughter]
Uh, Sir Malcolm,
we're, we're rolling, so whenever you're ready.
- I guess Razlor hasn't shown up.
[audience laughter]
Tanner: Okay, let's pause, still rolling.
- Quite unprofessional, who's, who's playing as Razlor, chap?
[Tanner and audience laugh]
Making us wait like that.
Very unprofessional.
- Uh, no, so Razlor is gonna be
entirely computer generated so--
- [quietly] Computer generated?
[audience laughter]
- There won't actually be an actor.
- Ah!
Yes, yes.
Apologies all around.
[chuckles]
I understand completely.
- Yeah, great, no, you're good.
All right, back to one.
- Okay.
Tanner: And, action.
- Razlor!
[makes shooting sound]
Leave this sector at once!
Tanner: Uh, Razlor's taller, look up.
- Ah, yes, I'm sorry.
Razlor!
Leave this sector at once!
Tanner: Uh, too tall!
- Oh, of course, of course.
Razlor!
Leave this sector at once!
Ah-cha!
Tanner: Okay, let's pause for a second, still rolling.
- Did we get it?
I quite liked that one.
- Um, not quite,
you're not looking in quite the right, um...
[audience laughter]
One second, sorry.
Can we get Frank in here
to give Sir Malcolm his eye line?
Yeah, um, so--
- This is quite a lark.
I am enjoying myself.
[chuckling]
Yes, oh!
What an odd chap this is, who is this?
[audience laughter]
- This is Frank.
- Fellow Frank.
- He's gonna stand in for Razlor
to give you kind of a visual reference, okay?
- My, my, what an odd creature.
- Yeah, this is a motion capture suit.
It's gonna track Frank's movements
and let our artists know where to put arms, legs--
- Ah, say no more, say no more.
I understand completely.
- Okay, all right, the tennis ball
is your eye line, so just look at the tennis ball.
- The tennis ball, my eye line.
- The tennis ball is your eye line.
- The tennis ball, yes.
- All right, back to one.
And, action.
- Begone, tennis ball man!
Tanner: Nope, nope!
Real quick, the line is,
"Razlor, leave this sector at once."
- Ah, leave this sector--
Yes, right, right.
Leave this sector at once,
tennis ball man!
Tanner: No, no, it's Razlor!
- No, I'm afraid it's a tennis ball man.
Tanner: No, no the tennis ball isn't there.
- Really?
It looks so real!
It even feels...
like I'm touching it!
[hearty laugh]
How are you doing that?
Are you in my mind, Mister Mind Man?
- No, no, no, Malcolm.
Sir Malcolm, it's a real tennis ball,
but later it's gonna be, like a demon face.
We're gonna make it Razlor's face.
- Razlor!
Of course, that rascal.
Tanner: Okay, remember, we are adding textures.
- [quietly] Textures. - Environments.
- Environments. - Characters,
even whole big, whole planets to this movie later--
Sir Malcolm: Planets?
- Using special effects, okay?
We can add literally anything we want.
- Anything?
- Anything.
- Ah.
[chuckles]
Wonderful, I understand completely.
- Okay.
Do you?
Do you understand?
[Sir Malcolm chuckling]
- You're a silly boy.
Of course.
- [trying not to laugh] Back to one.
Action.
- Oh, action, yes.
Razlor!
Leave this sector at once!
Frank: And if I don't, Supremeon?
- Then my friend Kiki and I will destroy you!
[audience laughter]
- Uh...
- This is Kiki!
He has the body of an octopus,
and the legs of a horse,
Kiki attack!
Hoo-ah!
Tanner: No, no, no, no.
What are you--?
No, no, no, no, whoa, he's,
okay, okay, you're gonna hurt him.
No, there's no one in the movie--
What are you doing?
- Ah, well, let me explain something,
and bear in mind,
this is all still new to me.
- Mm-hmm.
- All this green you see around you,
will not be in--
Look at me--
The final film!
[audience laughter]
We can add anything that we want!
And here.
[audience laughter]
Boom, rabbit.
[audience laughter]
Turtle.
Anything we want, those are your words.
- No, look, I know, no, you don't get to decide that,
you don't get to have a buddy named Kiki,
or a turtle or a rabbit, okay?
- Oh, ho, ho, he's not a buddy,
I consider him more of a son, don't you?
Oh, stop it, don't lick, don't lick!
- He's, no!
No, no, no, okay, you know what, forget it.
Forget it.
We are going to--
This stick, this stick is gonna be--
- [quietly] This stick.
- This stick, yep, I can tell that you're listening.
This stick is going to be Sir Malcolm's character.
You, you're just gonna stand off camera.
- [quietly] Off camera.
- And say your lines.
- Say my lines.
- And we are going to computer generate,
your entire character.
- [gasps]
Of course!
This is experimental filmmaking at its finest!
Good.
- Yep, back to one.
[Sir Malcolm sighs]
Action.
- Razlor!
[audience laughter]
Help me!
Oh, they've turned me into a stick, Razlor!
Tanner: No, no, no, no, no,
this isn't real.
This isn't your body.
- Oh, my dear boy,
you will have to calm down.
We're going to be working on the next three movies
for the next decade,
just you, and me.
- Yep.
- And Kiki, of course.
- Nope.
[audience laughter]
- Rabbit!
[audience applause]
- Kiki, breathe!
Oh, Kiki, why did you have to go now?
It's my birthday you know,
you selfish, selfish,
toad lizard, oh...
[mimics shooting]
Ahaha, Kiki we're doing it!
Use your...
use your cyborg pinky finger, oh!
Oh!
Oh, whatever, it's nothing.
[mimics shooting]
[laughing]
I'm sorry.
[laughing]
Thanks for watching this mythical sketch of Studio C.
- Hey Dalton, what do you think is on the green screen
behind us?
- There'll probably,
probably an expensive computer-generated image
that will astound and lure the audience
into liking and subscribing.
- Oh, that sounds amazing.
It's an old lady dabbing, isn't it?
- It is.
- Whoa!
Ah, but Dalton, she's really good at it!
You gotta turn around, you gotta see this.
- Oh!
Yeah.
