“Transformers One” | Anatomy of a Scene

Director Josh Cooley narrates a sequence from his film.

Hi, my name is Josh Cooley. I’m the director of Transformers One. “We need to hurry.” “I still think we have a better chance in a fight than we do running from them.” “Wait, we have gears! We can transform now.” “That’s right.” This scene is about halfway through the movie when we see our four characters who couldn’t transform before get these transformation gears. And so this is our first chance in their whole lives to be able to transform. I think about the actual Transformer toys. I had all of these toys growing up. Most of the time they were just lying around on the floor half-transformed because they were actually pretty hard to do. And so I thought it would be fun to see our characters fight in the same way that I fought with the toy, which was not knowing exactly how to do it. It’s actually a moment to have some relief, some comic relief here. But there’s still danger. They’re still being chased. They’re still being attacked. That was something to remember. You hear the noise and the blasters of the guns being fired at them. Everything suggests that this is a very serious scene. But what happens to them is actually funny. And I think part of the comedy that works well is because we’re not making fun of it or trying to wink at the audience. They’re in real danger.
