Notes: "1812" **Blue** Moya
With the filming complete, movie production moves onto the editing stage. 1812,
Blitz and Cam are currently going over the recorded footage deciding on what
should possibly to be added, altered, or cut.
"I have a feeling this editing process is going to take longer then
anticipated."
[Cam] "The explosions are really pathetic."
"We have to alter the image to make them look better"
[Cam] "How are you going to do that?"
"Blue, Kip and Fixer are going through Moya's data banks to find a
recording of an explosion we could use to replace the one that we
created."
[Cam] "Oh"
[Blitz] "But how are you going to make it look like the scene
recording and explosion recording go together?"
"Can you guys stop asking questions for once!?! It is important that we
go trough what we filmed so that we can give Blue, Kip, and Fixer an idea of
what else besides explosions they should be looking for."
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elsewhere on Moya...
**Nope that won't work**
[Fixer] "How about this explosion?"
**Too big**
[Kip] "How about this one?"
**What just exploded?**
[Kip] "Not sure, but it looks cool"
[Fixer] "Ewwww, it looks like an exploding waste conduit!"
**You're right**
[Kip] "You think we could use it or not?"
**We need to find explosions that will fit for the bat dren and fire fight
scenes and an exploding waste conduit does not fit**
[Kip] "Can't you use it somewhere? I mean it would be a waste to
not use exploding waste"
[Fixer] "You are one very disturbed DRD"
[Kip] "What?"
**Can we please get back to finding an explosion we can use, preferably one
that doesn't involve an exploding waste conduit?**
[Kip] "I wonder when this explosion happened?"
**As in NOW!**
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elsewhere on Moya's upper tiers...
[Sparks] "What are we looking for again?"
[B-MW] "A vid-chip to put the movie on once it's done"
[V-W] "And a container to put it in."
[Sparks] "Oh yeah right. I still don't see why we have to put a
vid-chip in a container."
[V-W] "1812 said all movies are put into containers after they are
completed, I think the container is supposed to protect the recording or
something."
[Sparks] "But vid-chips don't get damaged if they are not in a
container"
[B-MW] "But vid-chips don't usually have movies on them."
[Sparks] "So"
[B-MW] "So maybe there is something about movie recordings that
causes vid-chips to need a protective container"
[Sparks] -stares at B-MW-
[B-MW] "What?"
[Sparks] "That is the stupidest theory I've ever heard"
[B-MW] "Well I don't hear you coming up with a better one!"
[V-W] "Hey guys! I found a vid chip!"
[B-MW] "Great! Now we just need a container for it"
[Sparks] "I still don't see why we need one"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later that day the film crew meet up to figure out what they plan to do next...
"Now that we're all here did everyone accomplish what they were
supposed to?"
**We found several examples of explosions that should work**
[Kip] "Including a waste conduit exploding"
[Fixer] "Not again"
[Blitz] "A waste conduit? When did that happen?"
[Fixer] "Who cares!"
**We also found some recordings of random DRDs working and as well as
recordings of Peace Keepers like you asked**
[Kip] "We should make it look like the waste conduit explosion
kills some of Peace Keepers."
[Sparks] "I'd love to see that!"
"Enough with the waste conduit! Now did you guys find a vid-chip and a
container for it?"
[V-W] "Yes, but it took awhile to find the right size container for
it."
[Sparks] "I want to know why the vid-chip needs a container"
"Because movies are put into containers"
[Sparks] "But why? There is no use for the container."
"I didn't make the rule that movies must put into containers, humans
did, so don't ask me."
[Sparks] "So it's a human thing then?"
"Yes, they make movies and they put those movies into containers"
[Cam] "Sparks is right. If humans put all their movies in
containers then that's a lot of extra material that has no other purpose then
to take up more space then the movie recording would have by itself."
[V-W] "I think the container is used to protect the recording from
damage."
"You're probably right with that idea, the disk humans use for their
movies seems a bit fragile"
**Though Cam has a point as well, the containers for them are larger then
what would be considered necessary to protect the recording disk.**
[Kip] "Humans are quite strange"
[Fixer] "What's even stranger is a DRD with a fetish for exploding
waste conduits"
[Kip] "I do not have a fetish for exploding waste conduits!"
[Fixer] "Now we have a DRD in denial over having a fetish for
exploding waste conduits!"
[Kip] "Why don't you shut up?"
[Fixer] "Why don't you make me?"
[B-MW] "Why don't you both shut up!?!"
"I agree. We've gotten way off track."
[Blitz] "What were we talking about again?"
[Sparks] "About how strange and pointless it is to put vid-chips in
containers"
[V-W] "Please no more about the vid-chips!"
**I agree, we're here to figure out how we're going to edit the movie not to
discuss vid-chips and waste conduits**
"Right. Let's look at what Blue, Kip, and fixer found first and then we
can throw around some ideas, ok?"
The DRDs spent the remainder of the day going over how things should be added,
where they should be added, what should be cut, and that an exploding waste
conduit killing Peace Keepers should be somewhere in the movie.
That's it for now. Thanks for reading, don't forget to review and stay tuned for future installments of The Complete DRD's Guide To Producing A Movie!
