00:25And now that you guys have played and you've already played Plantasia,
00:29you had your first screening.
00:30Yeah.
00:31Could you talk about that?
00:32You know, because inherently it's interesting.
00:34You put so much time into something and then to see the response.
00:38And then you released it on the world.
00:40Well, you guys were too close to it and they weren't being objective at all.
00:42And they didn't think anyone was, they were like, you know, concerned that only,
00:46and I was like, no, you guys don't understand.
00:47Everyone's going to love it.
00:48And they did.
00:50Could you guys talk about that?
00:51Yeah.
00:52Well, it was really nice.
00:54Thanks, Katie.
00:54It was, it was really nice to see within the first few minutes, literally the first
01:00few seconds, minutes, people were laughing wholeheartedly and in different areas of the
01:07theater, people were laughing and catching on jokes and they got the humor.
01:13They got the level of humor pretty rapidly.
01:15And then different times too, right?
01:17Sometimes all the, all the crowd, but yeah.
01:20Some, some, yeah, sorry, Vincent continue, but yeah.
01:23My, one of my favorite characters in the whole movie is the little, the little gremlin,
01:28the little goblin guy that gets put in the ice.
01:30And I just loved everyone's response.
01:32Like every time he came up, they were like, yeah, they were like rooting for him.
01:35And they just, they had like an instant emotional connection to him like I did.
01:39And you could feel that every time he came on screen.
01:41Like that's really important and hard to do with the little, you know, a little guy, just
01:46a little guy out there in space and everyone like loved him.
02:01I would like to do some tourism, visit your magnificent city.
02:07If you're watching like, um, God, what was meet the feebles?
02:09I always remember that with Peter Jackson, you know, or just like a skewed version of
02:14the Muppets, which was sort of what dark crystal was.
02:17Dark crystal labyrinth, all those things were, that's what I was just like, oh, this is
02:22so my heart.
02:23Was it this always imagined in that way with you and Simon?
02:28Um, no, no, it was when I, when I initially was approached, uh, there, um, we had not even
02:37spoken about that, but Simon and I just have a humor dar, we just get together and we're
02:42just, you know, we, we, we laugh and we make jokes.
02:45So it, it, it quickly became funny.
02:49Like at the beginning, the first tone that we explored was, was not necessarily comical,
02:55but it's just in, in the way that I felt it and the way that we felt it together, we
03:00saw
03:01that there was place for tongue in cheek humor.
03:03It was tongue in cheek.
03:04We, we realized it was that kind of level.
03:06It wasn't going to be slapstick.
03:08It wasn't going to be a hundred percent satirical.
03:10Uh, it, it was going to be tongue in cheek because we really believed in the, um, the,
03:17uh, um, the references to older film, um, which we both enjoyed.
03:23And then we just compounded onto this, these, these characters that had this, this intuitively,
03:30um, tongue in cheek feel to it.
03:33And that's, I guess, just how it got and then how it developed.
03:36And then we, you know, continued working on the script and, and there was humor that came
03:40out of it.
03:41Walk in your mysterious streets, discover your, your architecture.
03:47Blend in with the anonymous crowd.
03:59I think most filmmakers are always, uh, unsatisfied, but, uh, since, uh, the movie is released and,
04:06uh, he's, he's starting to live, uh, by himself.
04:10I'm getting more, uh, serene with, uh, all of this, you know, uh, it's impossible to control
04:16everything.
04:18Uh, if you have a 10% of your vision, you're already lucky sometimes.
04:22And, uh, um, you know, uh, you need to be open to surprise to, uh, on set.
04:27I don't have a stiff vision.
04:29I like to be surprised.
04:31Uh, I like when the actors do some improve too.
04:34Uh, so, uh, it's always a surprise.
04:36So the, the film you're thinking about and the final product, it's like, uh, probably making
04:41a child.
04:42I don't know.
04:42You, you cannot, uh, control everything.
04:45They're surprised.
04:46There's the inputs of everybody.
04:48Uh, and, uh, in the end, it comes to life and it is, it is what it is, but I'm
04:54starting
04:54to, I'm starting to, uh, to, uh, appreciate it, uh, more and more, I would say.
05:00And I think Tim, that in, in, in response to your question, you know, that, uh, do filmmakers,
05:06um, make the film for, for them or what did we think the audience was, was going to, to,
05:10to, to, to get from it?
05:12I think it is, it is, is any, any piece of art, I mean, be it a painting or a
05:17sculpture or a song
05:18or poetry.
05:20I think it's, it's innately something that comes from your heart and from, you know, your
05:24insides and from, um, what you want to express.
05:28It sounds cliche, but you know, it comes from that.
05:30But I think that an artist is, is always mindful of the fact that this will be seen by other
05:36people and you, um, I think that we, we, we hope that our art will be enjoyed by other
05:43people.
05:44So when you're crafting it, be mindful of that.
05:47You will want to put it into, especially in film, you want to put out a piece out there
05:50that's entertaining and that has, you know, um, artistic value and merit for other people
05:57as well.
05:57So it's, you're also on both sides of the camera too.
06:00And that makes a big difference.
06:03Yeah.
06:03Yeah, it does.
06:05It does, but when you're in front, like I was saying, when, when, when I'm in front
06:07of the camera, it's, you know, it's about being in the other world.
06:11And then when you're behind the camera, you're in the first world in the real world.
06:16So, yeah.
06:18Do you want to add your perspective on that, Katie?
06:20And then I'll let you go.
06:21Yeah, I know.
06:22I think I was able to be more objective about it because I haven't been, you know, grinding
06:28away on the, on the boring stuff and overthinking it for, for so long.
06:32So I, my expectations were high and they were met for me for the audience reaction.
06:37I think they felt the way that I felt about it.
06:39I think they felt the way that I felt the way that I felt the way that I felt the
07:05way I felt the way that I felt the way that I felt the way that I felt the way
07:05that I felt the way that I felt the way that I felt the way that I felt the way
07:05that I felt the way that I felt the way that I felt the way that I felt the way
07:05that I felt the way that I felt the way that I felt the way that I felt the way
07:05that I felt the way that I felt the way that I felt the way that I felt the way
07:05that I felt the way that I felt the way that I felt the way that I felt the way
07:05that I felt the way that I felt the way that I felt the way that I felt the way
07:05that I felt the way that I felt the way that I felt the way that I felt the way
07:05that I felt the way that I felt the way that I felt the way that I felt the way
07:05that I felt the way that I felt the way that I felt the way that I felt the way
07:05that
