Inbetween Shots – 04 – Rock vs. Trite
[OUTDOORS, NIGHT, FLOOD LIGHTS ILLUMINATE]
[BACKGROUNDMUSIC: HARD ROCK]
The view is on a giant purple-green robot pulling on cables of multiple meters in diameter, dislodging various huge trucks next to it. The cables themselves lead into an oversized sniping rifle laying in the right hand of the robot. The giant jumps a little bit forward, landing on a slope and slides it down with one straight and one bended leg. Sod and trees are flying left and right.

[BACKGROUNDMUSIC: TRITE, LIKE ELEVATOR/MALL MUSIC]
The fixed camera looks from behind the pilot seat on head level to an array of intersecting screens showing a flooded coastal city. The cameras transmitting the view on the screens - it really looks like on huge screen, really - seem to be significantly higher than street level.
The view tumbles, seems to move. Red-blond hair flicks in front of the camera as the pilot looks abruptly to her left and quickly disappears again, a few strands lingering. The central screens show movement in a similar fashion mere fractions of a second later.
They transmit the view of the purple-green robot of before standing in a ready stance, holding a lance in his right. The heft itself is as long as the robot is high, the blade overextending beyond.
[CUT, OUTDOORS, NIGHT]
[BACKGROUNDMUSIC: HARD ROCK]
A blinding light erupts from the also oversized muzzle of the giant sniper rifle.
[CUT, OUTDOORS, DAY]
[BACKGROUNDMUSIC: HARD ROCK]
A somewhat luminescent ribbon criss-crosses rapidly in front of a multi-story building. Parts of the building crosses by the ribbon slide off as if cut and fall to the ground.
[CUT, OUTDOORS, TWILIGHT]
[BACKGROUNDMUSIC: HARD ROCK]
A knife rushes towards a dark mass and impacts on a glowing, hexagonally expanding barrier previously not there. The knife is held by a purple hand.
[CUT, OUTDOORS, TWILIGHT]
[BACKGROUNDMUSIC: HARD ROCK]
Urban environment. Abandoned multi-story buildings are the background of the dominating giant robot painted blue with white highlights. The humanoid machination is hitting something repeatedly, pummeling an undefinable creature with its fists. Every time they connect the thundering crash underscores the bassline of the background music. An especially heavy hit bursts the window panes in nearby buildings. Slow motion falling shards with the played-out chord of the current riff.
[CUT, OUTDOORS]
[BACKGROUNDMUSIC: HARD ROCK, THE CHORD LINGERS AND FADES]
The knife again, still pressing against the barrier. A faintly blue hand with yellow knuckles bursts into view and make a haphazard move. The barrier is split open in the exact same way the hand moved. The knife presses through the split barrier, followed by the purple hand and robot. The barrier flickers and diminishes in luminosity, fading out.
[CUT, CLOSE-UP FACE, REI AYANAMI]
[LIP SYNCHRONIZED]
Rei's face is filling the whole view. Faint fish-eye lens. Somewhat whispering voice.
"Let's rock."
