The Return of the Actor Meme!

[notsaintkaiser.livejournal.com]

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!

"Or they have something," she dropped her voice and wiggled her fingers in the air, "really, really horrible planned for me, and are keeping me around for that."

The muffin was almost gone; she dropped the last, and let the sparrows have their way with it. "It hasn't been too difficult so far. You and Howard had the harder part, running around that sandy soundstage with the animatronic dinosaurs. I get to be the clothes horse."

She rolled her eyes. "At least they don't have me whining for my AI quite so much. Let's hope they never cast him."

Zouichi shrugged, then crossed his arms. "Well, hey, even if they do, he'll be mostly CG and voice-acting, right? Like Zetta. Kind of a show-breaker, though. Anyway, I'm sure if they were planning something major, you'd be in the loop. Probably. Maybe."

"I read Horanckk's bible - definitely a show-breaker. The audience would riot if they brought in a character who could take over the ship and then came up with some cockamamie reason why he wouldn't."

She shrugged again. "I'm just here for an honest day's work for an honest day's pay. And to have a little fun along the way. No point in working a job you don't enjoy."
