Both, I guess.

Can't really have one without the other.

[makeanentrance]

The technology is a bit different here and we're going more digital but... as for why I started in the industry...

I loved films as a kid. Not only were they incredible: seeing monsters and beautiful damsels in distress on the screen, but they were also ... an escape. A safe place to be. The cinema was a much better place than being at home.

And I wanted to learn how they made all the amazing creatures and effects. King Kong. That was my favourite.

[laserhawk]

[ hm. that makes sense. without the cloying propaganda of eden, forced to watch whatever they provided, he can picture a more . . . magical experience. ]

In Eden, you could be fined for not watching a movie.

[makeanentrance]

What sort of movie?

[laserhawk]

Propaganda films, really. Stuff about Rayman, Eden, Holloway.

I have one too. It's called "Traitor".

[makeanentrance]

Sounds like an unpleasant place to be. Movies should be for enjoyment.

[laserhawk]

Everything in Eden was unpleasant. You had no freedom, no choice. Just the illusion of it.

This place is bad, but it'll never be as bad as Eden.

[makeanentrance]

Yeah, this place has surprisingly been mostly a positive experience for me, despite the... uh, initial kidnapping and being kept against our will, of course.

[laserhawk]

As long as it stays that way, I won't make a fuss.

[ yet. he still despises the system. ]

[makeanentrance]

It always could be worse, huh?

[laserhawk]

Yeah. And I know worse well enough.

[makeanentrance]

I'd love to claim it can only get better but I know how things tend to pan out, at least for me. So I have to enjoy it while I can.

[laserhawk]

It's a good way to look at things.

[ healthier too. dolph's not quite there, but he tries to keep it in mind. ]

[makeanentrance]

You think so?

[He sounds surprised at that assessment.]

[laserhawk]

Yeah. I'm not that good at it myself.

But it's important. Not just in life, but to who you are.

[makeanentrance]

Take one day at a time and hold on to hope?

[laserhawk]

[ he nods. ]

One step at a time.

[makeanentrance]

And one film at a time.

We need to get this one done before... any more disasters.

[laserhawk]

We'll manage.

[makeanentrance]

Your confidence is appreciated.

[laserhawk]

[ he shrugs. ]

You're welcome?

[makeanentrance]

You're playing a very important role here. A film's backbone is its crew.

[laserhawk]

News to me.

[ he's seen enough film crews to know they're not treated well. not that he cares. ]

[makeanentrance]

Maybe I should have made that clearer when I hired you.

[laserhawk]

It's not like I asked.

And it's fine. I'll do the work.
