A ::network:: video then text [this comes on in the middle of a heated debate in Chinese, the voices coming from behind the feed. in front of the screen is a bored looking man who is covered in various pieces of gore, a huge wound in his side pumping out blood and a mechanical arm replacing his right arm. he rises his eyebrows, jerked his chin at the arm, and all but says that he has no idea where that came from when the camera jerks and the picture goes out.
a few minutes later, this text appears after the recording.]
Do you know how hard it is to convince a director that you did not ask for a mechanical arm in a fight scene? This pulse almost cost me a job.
B ::action:: [it's one of those big budget pictures, the kind that involves a lot of fighting, a lot of explosions and a lot of stunt guys doing crazy stuff in front of green screens whenever they can fit them into the general flow of things. this scene needs a living touch, so a part of the busiest section of downtown was blocked and roped off for a huge showdown between Action Hero Willis Bruce's everyday good guy and the Hordes of Goons that surrounded Evil Villain Odd Garyson's mobster kingpin.
Bodies are flying, fake guns are going off, and one of the stuntmen goes tumbling just on cue to land right at your feet, and stare straight up.
better hope you're not wearing a skirt.
but after the director yells cut, all the dead bodies get up, including the one stuntman, who sighs, sits up and lights up. seriously, he's not getting paid enough for this job.]
