#BAUniC:movie:scene003 - making doors

BAUniC:movie:scene003

Plain room, well lit. HeadActor(HA) sitting in the middle of the room, lotus-yoga style. Seen from behind, but the camera shows also shadows of other people lotus-ing in the scene, sitting behind HA.

Door on the left opens (this is the non-mirror world) From scene001, semidark room, one of the hooded figures comes in. When seen from scene001, opened door does not contain light source behind. All dark. Even the actor leaving through door 1 sees darkness.

HA indicates HoodedFigure1(HF1) to sit in one of the pillows laid in front.

"What next?" HF1 begins to say.

HA: "We wait for your double."

HF1: "Wait for how long?"

HA: "As long as it takes..."

HF1: "but..."

HF1: "time here passes differently"

*door opens. Another hooded figure enters. HA indicates the other pillow. HF2 sits*

"Question one" HA says solemnly: "Who won the presidential elections of 2016 in the USA?"

HF1 says: "Be.Hi..tr. um..."

HA: "Then please proceed to door marked accordingly."

HF1 looks around.

HA: "If you do not see a door, either something went very wrong out there, or you must be one of the storymakers. In that case, please proceed to make a door..."

HF1: "..how?"

HA: "instructions, we need a door for this scene. Marked, 'be.hi.tr.um' till the storymaker makes up their mind. Opening, from angle? to angle? Positioning in this room?"

HF1: "... alright..." *very surprised and weirded out face. "um... any angle, any position, marked... not marked, alright? What next?"

HA indicates at the other hooded figure. "you can go through that door?" HF2 has kept HF2's face hidden this far. Raises without saying a word and goes to the door, who was always there but not shown in the room representation so far.

Hand to the door handle, about to open, not opening it. Frozen scene.

HA: "You can go along if you like. You will be something like a voice in the head, but who knows what powers you may have beyond being a good conscience to this doll we will send through that door. If you stay behind, requirements will be made known to you." indicates with a hand to the face area, though camera still has not shown HA's face.


HF1: "Should I?"

HA nods.

HF1 raises and goes to where the door will be. HF2 enters, exits quietly but shown in a shadow, and enters again with a different gait.

(timeline storyline goes to scene004)

(back from scene004, HF1 comes out amazed)

HF1: "So, I can do facevoice over there?"

HF2: "or use my voice"

HF1: "What about a body?"

HF2: "We can be picky if we want, but any body will do. These are ordinary people trying to do something of build-universe proportions, but they don't need to be and should not be perfect and unreachable"

HF1, voice only, as the camera still shows HF2: I see...

HF2, voice only, as the camera has turned to HF1 now: Wanna try voice?

HF1: how? (scene swaps to scene004)

(scene continues)
