A point of view on this very particular technique :

I directed this film very quickly by trying out the process "Machinima".

It is starting from a software of video game "The movie" (published by "Lionshead"), that I "organized" the images of this film. The "Machinima system" generates animations and framings. It can manage animations of observers behind plane.

For that, it is enough for you to place them on the virtual plate. In this play, you choose in a "catalogue" your characters, your decorations and your actions. For the characters, you choose the costumes, the make-up, the haircuts. For your decorations, idem : Horror, western... the hour of the day or the night, good or bad weather etc... For framings, you can choose between tight or plane plan broad... not always...

Therefore, for this movie, I made choices in a vast bazaar. I did not draw anything. I did not model anything in 3 D. I directed the actors for the voices. It is very funny, because it is very fast... but I prefer the cinema.


Complete text :

(On the flat roof of a high rise building)
George - Hi! Aren't you Dorothy ?
Dorothy - Sure. It's my first day with the bank...
George - I know. I had you watched all day.
Dorothy - Really ?
George - ... And that's not brilliant! ou don’t' have what it takes to pluck the client!..
Dorothy - What should I do, then ?
George - You must bleed them to death! You gotta make them borrow more than they can. They gotta soak in debt for fifty years ! That's how we hold them by their balls !
Dorothy - But what if they can't pay back ?!
George – That's the whole point with profit! Free enterprise, that means "us first, and then the clients."
Dorothy - That's not fair...
George – Poor idiot!... How can you put that into your head? Free enterprise is no virtue. It's your daily bread first! Repeat after me : Free enterprise is no virtue !
(he slaps her face)
) it's MY daily bread first... C'mon !

Dorothy - Free enterprise is no virtue! It's MY daily bread first !
George – Good !... Again !
Dorothy - Free enterprise is no virtue! It's MY daily bread first !
(Alan joins them)
Alan - Dorothy! George! There you are...
George - His nickname is "Surprise-Subprime"
Alan - I say, the boss is losing patience. Miss, you've left your post for two minutes !
Dorothée - I'm having a crash course on free enterprise.
Alan - Forget it. The boss is fretting !
George - Tell him we'll be right back...
Alan – Suit yourselves. As for me, I'm going...
(Alan walks away whistling the tune of Snow white seven dwarves)
George - You've got to practice, Dorothy, if you are to make the bank richer...
(Dorothy practices punches like a boxer)
George – C'mon, Dorothy, show your guts !
Dorothy - A loan at 32 per cent, adjustable !
George - Excellent, no risk for us !
Dorothy - A 36 month credit, 12, 24, for the trailer...
George - Don't forge the penalties !.. And the kids !
Dorothy - Oh, yes, college loans for the youngest !
George - Especially if there's no chance they ever finish graduation. It's all the better for us. You're making progress, Dorothy !
Dorothy - Thanks.
George – No, Dorothy, thanks are inappropriate. It's for the client to thank us. We help them, we're the kings. C'mon, again, "Free enterprise is no virtue! It's MY daily bread first"
(George walks away, Dorothy tries to grasp for motivation)
Dorothy - Free enterprise is no virtue! It's MY daily bread first. Free enterprise is no virtue! It's MY daily bread first. I'm gonna get them all bankrupt, those suckers!
If free enterprise means capitalism in Technicolor, I'm gonna show them some, you bet your ass!
Dorothy - I'm gonna stuff them with loans, those suckers! Right to the last generation! They'll beg for mercy, but no chance !
(Dorothy jumps aver the rail, howling like a werewolf)
Dorothy - Come to me, I'm gonna gobble you all! You want an easy life, so do I! Boy, I love it! I wanna be fucking rich too!... Here I come!
