he's looking to slow down he's looking to slow down [Music] [Laughter] okay he thinks i look like one of the beaches but i don't think so this side's not quite finished because we were rushing more speed right maybe rest in peace would you like it to all backwards i'll lift it all up for you i think i think if it gets it just like yeah yeah yeah that's good well i think when you get this wavy thing though it gets a little looking suspicious like i'm like a wig yeah like an opera singer they always have those kind of things it looks a little well it's like when you see a guy with a wave like that life kind of go is he a member would you like westwood you want to see it back over down pressed a little flatter pressed a little flatter yes i'm not wearing that i'm not wearing that put it away it does look good doesn't it i don't know who to compare it to i'm sorry i don't know who to compare the hair too but the more it's kind of a line across but doesn't look like you know what he said are you a member are you a member then they do one to al's too so we have it covered on video are you a member now what can you hold me can you do you hold me here you idiot there you know now you're both in for sure but now it's just a two shot it's a two shot see like one of these i want to get some depth can i if i find the light back yeah you can find it back there and go a little bit uh go a little bit to your right [Music] i think we got it we can make it work do people say that i think that's famous yeah that was i had a guy who said that to me on the phone and i'd look at him you got pieces that doesn't exactly make you want to say all right well let's go home doesn't make you want to work with him again either yeah yeah don't be frightened be strong we still got about five more dvds of underwater things to look at and we've got three other documentaries we've done a very thorough survey of how you can screw it up we're gonna have to come up with totally different ways to make it the same fake dead ahead [Music] [Laughter] oh [Laughter] [Applause] [Music] let's just see what happens let's just see what happens let's get a documentary style 116-67 movemento action jesus holy [ __ ] okay bob step in towards willem okay one more time well i'm this one even more pained action second killer steve good again and now they're going to kill us steve did we see the dog at all i didn't tell no i didn't bob did you see the dog at all that was very good i think when i panned over to willam this guy was in a little bit and i cleared myself and i saw him a little bit you know okay okay keep that same feeling but i think breeze right through all the lines just so the whole thing just continues straight on through hey yes you know what lean your body back when you do it with a more yeah do it do a whole thing like that i look towards him yeah oh that's good that's christ's life yeah that's good well he would know how to be christ he knows he knows christ's life you know let's do that 116 take nine action jesus holy [ __ ] well they're going to kill us steve good bob can you see the dog no he's out he's right in front of me move towards the dog he's got to move back can you get one of the dogs okay i'm just thinking of a separate shot of the job check the gate now we'll continue all right it's still staying full though [Music] on the rocks want to go up my balloon that was terrible that was good now that's it that's a good one that's the best one we had here yeah we're gonna do better than that you watch has an almost magical connection to the life of the sea he speaks its language fluently i've never met a boy like that in all my life lord mandrake you should have opened with that one he was your mentor what was the influence hey intern give me campari will you on the rocks want to go up in my balloon [Music] hey good see how much better they can be now you see now the boat can sink do whatever you want in terms of how you decorate the anchor that's the way i drew it but that doesn't mean that that's that was just i liked when i had all those drawings of it together the simplicity of yours was far more appealing than the serious anchor to me but if thank you thank you have you ever i don't know no i like it any idea that one looks pretty good that one looks pretty good that one looks good for the pen i've been doing with tattooing he's been moaning at me all the time ah it stinks it stings these things used to go away and fed up easy easy now easy girl easy look at that tricep fire out so that's that looks good i wonder if this one will feel like kind of a bond movie at the end of the day it kid feels like it every once in a while yeah i'm playing that music all the time no happy with the piece chain what are you doing am i no why don't you just swear but i'm trying to get out of the habit before i have my [ __ ] baby if that makes sense well clean up this room anyway it looks like a goddamn typhoon cut all right very good pretty good pretty good good so you tell opie you were doing a real action comedy right that's what we're going as you're actually i've made him i made him define this thing he wanted to go as a dramedy adventure what was the one you were going with uh oh i think it's just the difference between action and adventure yeah but it was an adventure comedy it was adventure comedy like romancing the stones slightly different camera's ready here we go all right we can do it better i guess the dreams of my childhood represent all that mr sisu has gone back okay that makes sense well clean up your room anyway it looks like a goddamn head please don't make fun of me i just wanted to flirt with you congratulations it's fancy yeah that's good that was a lot oh that's real that's real yeah gosh if you stop drinking there you'll see this is a book of real bruises real like truth real dead people oh mary bill does a couple of things where he's covered in blood really what when is he coming well he comes out of the water covered in blood doesn't he oh yeah i think i you know what i don't think blood sticks on you when you're underwater so we're faking it anyway but the crazy eyes what else on you anymore and they're in and they're under any weather conditions crazy ass did you see the crazy eyes now [Music] he's got a thing where when he comes up for after the attack on the on esteban where his friend gets killed have you read this i don't know if you really it's frank it's good anyway it's like it's basically like the benz it's our version of the benz but it's called crazy eye and it's basically your eye your eyes are bloodshot but in a sort of a spiral pattern i think it's a slightly more organic looking version of cartoon right more or less it's funny notice that the hair is coming off to the action of the maggots and that this can give a spurious appearance of old age yeah that's what you think god she's looking older isn't she the fact that her body is blackened and decomposed she's looking elder isn't she is she looking oh my gosh she's putting some time on the clock here that's this is what i was saying i didn't need to see wow this thing was really hard oh man that's real and they're rocking whoa baby boy you never feel so healthy you know i know i feel i feel pretty fit after looking at those they're beautiful i'm feeling like miss italian world yeah yeah yeah no appearance of old age guns the dog's gonna come running out william's gonna come running in owen's gonna then go in and as soon as owen goes in you're gonna pan further than you panned last time all the way to put the group of guys in the middle the grouping of the guys would be centered we swing over to you guys and you're standing there like uh yeah you know something's going on yeah um are we gonna do this um shall we do you think they got like what they already have uh more or less that then immediately after the blow up the smoke point out of there new and owen and klaus come running out and you say they're in there after all go move run now and i actually i think you guys just run out hey owen why don't you spin while i'm in okay let's do it here i'm here this is the real event willem's going around the bend oh yeah they're going to burn them today right oh and why don't you act like you're rubbing that hole in the window i want to see in your face that moment yeah i don't know i think it sounds like this klaus you know dynamite yeah yeah action okay is [Music] i was in slow motion and you brought me back too quickly okay market action run back jim hurry go [Applause] yeah that was that was crazy watching the tv screen i literally went like this yeah no me too to the tv screen yeah it was yeah it was a distraction yeah yeah so that's good i think that'll have that effect isn't it i love you um okay even though it's really not supposed to but it's a new new flavor for the movie now they're in there after all run go good that was great that's funny okay we just got kneels hitting you let's check the game there we go [Music] up down she said to try to relax your eye more because that's like a give and take it also looks like veronica lake on a brighter note a deficient passing resemblance to the hairstyle of veronica lake okay oh yeah get wet again first bill the contact slip [ __ ] yes i know okay one contact's crooked both of my feet are what's up there it goes just splash your cheeks a little bit maybe don't go underwater anymore we'll do that over here okay good all right here we go good bob yeah all right paint

castlevan basketball reload it all right ready okay roll it rolling okay all right now phil yell us three times fast and then look right into the camera [Music] okay now do them now do three quick ones do one and then two quick ones in a row make the third one hit the lens [Music] what about this look here this is kind of a canine look isn't it that's that's that's a little too crazy what'd you have for breakfast i was up late oh man i was up late i didn't sleep well that is that is horrible i didn't sleep well it's an awful looking i had the roughest night's sleep i tossed and i turned all right that's the way we've always done it we film it and then we do it we film it what is it where does it go we let it happen and then we just film it how's it going is that line yeah how did that go he says what kind of use i don't be part of whatever's going to happen nobody knows what's going to happen and then we film it that's the whole concept that's the way we've always done it i feel like we're playing a scene now i feel like we're standing in a two shot yeah are we gonna move oh great oh great [Laughter] who said this movie had no singles i need to get it i can't even get a haircut who said there were no close-ups that's why yeah we're just looking for pieces i'm not trying to block it you would never see it your arms one two three four yeah yeah that's green's action adventure yeah all right you know this is much better than what we have before we should share in the dark okay this stuff is antique this is vintage we think it'll work swim around it all the way to the back that's when we shot yeah the eyes the eyes don't look real so twist it more sideways to it [Music] i know that was kind of good yeah you know what trying to make it seem like it's still swimming it's like it's still like yeah yeah yeah good roll it hang on hang on is that fish is the fish still glowing bill he's dead uh okay we're sending a fish guy down hang on one second we'll send a fish guy down i think have the fish sideways to uh let me tie it and this will be less about getting the glow and the more about just seeing the shape of the fish yeah i'm trying like crazy but you know i have to breathe you know you can't like stop and think in the middle of sentences i'm holding my breath for long series it's not good luck because i'm trying to hear you and you go the thing you want to do is um twist it yeah okay so this one's just two ways just tie it here and be holding it sideways and then i'm gonna just tilt it up here take credit i think you can turn it off what i don't think it looks so crazy to you bob it's put a piece of [ __ ] in there now i think we should turn it off let's turn it off and we're going to add the color let's turn it off we've got about some of our tricks work some of the tricks and then there's other things that yeah good good [Applause] [Music] okay [Music] a little bit yeah not you don't have to do red cap you could do hoods [Music] very oh okay

weeks of shooting i think you gotta fall down a little it's not what about pulling it back a little that's good okay [Music] he could just remember to give more first sensation to be strangled but just to give once just give the sensation of in the rehearsal yeah the only way this punch is going to look right is if it comes from you're on waynesville from right back here you just give it right there and go right there one way it'll help you cheat is if you sort of duck your head towards me you know like that and when you swing it yeah there you go that's better look you know twist it this way but twist it but don't look away look there right in there boom look at this here and try to hit just outside that here ready go there you go that looks real but don't bring it in closed village
