The Return of the Actor Meme!

Reviving a meme for great justice! Quoted from the original post:

It's Transmigration 9 Studios. No, the name doesn't make any sense, except that the owner, Stacy, has owned eight studios before this and they've all crashed and burned. Which feels so great for the actors and their sense of job security, let me tell you.

As soon as they're done with their scenes, the characters stop playing their roles and make it real. The scripts are tossed aside, and they can relax now that the cameras are off of them.

What does this mean? Well, perhaps Billy is an actual college graduate, who is disgusted with the scientific inaccuracies and techspeak mumbo-jumbo of his character. Perhaps Kang is a fit Japanese man in a rubber dragon suit. Maybe Renne is a former theater actor that speaks with a posh English accent? Who knows, perhaps Nehaa is a conservative Catholic who finds her role as a stripperiffic space goat horrifying! And it might an ongoing joke off-screen that Leon can't fight for shit, Steve's actor stands in for him during action scenes.


So, what are you waiting for? Let's have some fun!

The cardboard book prop lay lifeless on the ground. It would be replaced with CGI in postproduction.

Rumor had it that Zetta would be written out of the cast soon, just because the cost of Crispin Freeman's voice actor work and the cost of CG was prohibitive. That whole Teen Zetta arc had eaten up almost a quarter of the budget on his hair alone.

Zouichi plucked it off the ground. Jeez, what were they gonna do if someone stepped on it?

After a moment, he put it up to his face, deepening his (admittedly already pretty deep) baritone. "I'm Zetta, the most baddest overlord in the universe! What are you peons looking at? Zetta Beam!"

Heh heh heh. It was kind of fun.
