Male 1: Snake is the most popular mobile game ever. If you owned a Nokia in the past 15 years, you probably played it. In other words, it is a tribute to this classic game made in stop motion. Animating with stop motion is both fun and easy.
Male 2: Depends that you do not have any clue what you are doing. It is like we have to imagine how it will be. And that is quite hard. If you are thinking a friends.
Male 3: I am just guessing I have no clue. I have no clue what I am doing.
Male 2: Ted go and tell the guy to lean back wards.
Male 1: All you need is a camera, an idea and a lot of time. It is a bit like playing games; you can let your imagination run free. All the action happens in the camera so wipe other with digital effects.
Everything you see in the film is actually there. Frame by frame, a file of boxes becomes a giant cardboard monster. For the most spectacular stunts, we use body doubles. And of course we do not need wires to make people fly, slide or bounce around.
Male 2: I think it will be really cool because we will be looking at the computer so we can see how the stuff has developed. So we know we have some really cool stuff.
Male 1: However, to make the world’s greatest version of snake you need a few friends, in fact a lot of friends.
Male 2: This was 1000 extras and I was quite nervous as I was before because I thought it will be a big mess and we were lots of big teams and so I was totally sure that it would be a big mess. With the orale, it did a really nice thing with the camera, a camera movement which shows stuffs that are great.
