Hi, I'm Joachim, I'm actor and scenarist.
I'm Jeremy, I'm director, scenarist, editor
I'm doing the visual effects, sometimes actor,
Well pretty much everything, even the coffee
I'm Geoffrey, I'm actor too, and Tusken boom operator.
Excepted for this video, where the boom operator was Max
And today, it's not Max it's Mr Stepladder operating the boom.
So, why are we doing this kind of video ?
It's because all our other making of and outtakes videos before this one were just sequences of shots we made.
And we decided to explain, what are we doing, what is La Grange Pictures and...
Why are we doing this ?
Yeah, why ? That's a big question. Why ?
La Grange Pictures : what's that thing ?
La Grange Pictures is a band of friends
Who decided to make funny videos
To entertain people on the internet
Especially entertain ourselves, if it entertains you aswell, that's great
For now we're doing videos which don't have any link between each others
The idea, since we're starting, and that we aren't professional
We're testing ideas, and all kind of things
So if there's ideas you like, or if you think they suck
Tell us in your comments, so we can improve things
Since, I'm repeating it, we aren't professionals
We're just a band of friends doing this for fun
The idea of Teleport-Roulette, this video
Was in my head since a long time
It was when La Grange Pictures was just a project
So it must be like one year ago
It was one of the first videos ideas I had
And so I was keeping it in a corner of my brain
And, surprisingly, it's not the first video we ever made, because our two first videos
were videos made for Film Riot's Monday Challenge
And even if our first video wasn't finished in time for it, the Sith one was
And then we decided to make this one
So let's say it's the very first not imposed scenario made by La Grange Pictures
First difficulty for Teleport-Roulette was...
Learning the script
Learning the script obviously because...
Because we don't know it !
- They aren't professional actors so... - We didn't know it during the shooting so it was neat
When you know they aren't pros, you know they'll struggle to learn it, but they don't even make the effort so...
That was set to fail from the beginning
The main difficulty for real, was to find the filming locations
I knew the intro would be shot here at the barn (La Grange)
But, we had to find a place looking like what you can find in this region of Russia
And well we're based in south western France, and there's not a lot of places like this
And finally I found this location randomly, where I wasn't expecting it
Because in my mind, we were going to shoot it somewhere in the great Landes' pine forest
And finally, walking by a lake in Orthez, I found a place that was between this lake, and Gave de Pau river
Which could do the trick for the location
You couldn't see any buildings from there, and had the feeling to be in the middle of nature
And the landscape was good enough
So we decided to film here, and we shot it in a non chronologic way
Which mean, we shot the last scene first, in the morning
And the first scene in the afternoon
And what's great, is that we shot all the video the same day
And the morning was very cloudy
Oh it's starting to rain !
It's rainning ?
Look at the pond's water
And the afternoon was really sunny and so in the end it doesn't look like it's the same day, which is perfect
And so here is the prop we used for...
So, this is the prop that is in the video, allowing us to travel in time and space
It was made out of a CD storage box, on which we attached a car's antenna
And instead of the screen you can see in the video
There's three stickers with the different teleporting modes written on them
So the actors could know where to point their fingers on the screen
There's also four yellow points made out of adhesive putty
Here to help me when doing the vfx
So the program I use can spot those points easily and calculate their displacement, so the virtual screen can follow their same moves
one anecdote ?
We had a scene where we were all laughing, but we finally kept it
You can see it on the video, Geoffrey is laughing when saying his line
It's the slap scene, because just when he gives the fake slap, the sound effect was added later, but
Just at the moment, where his hand lands on target, there was a shot from a hunter's riffle somewhere in the area
So it made kind of senseless live sound effect, everybody laughed at it
But in the end it was the best shot we had so we kept it.
The best is to see the original footage
And now since you saw that, we're gonna watch the outtakes
And I hope you'll laugh as much as we did doing this video
Now, we're gonna plug the mic on the recorder...
Is it jack connections ?
No, it's XLR plugs
So Mr "Cyber Azerty Club" how do you feel before the filming ?
I want to pee
Well you have several trees around
Too late
It's too late ?
We can't see, you wear black pants
That's why I always wear black pants
Could you give us in exclusivity your first line
No
You can, the director gives you the authorization
The director who, is in a weird position right now
No ! Cut the camera please !
First line is "Where are we ? And when ?"
It promises a great suspense moment
Thanks a lot !
You're welcome
Specially for you this morning, on Discovery Channel

A moment of grace, and lightness
You ready ?
I'm always ready !
Ok, action then !
"I'm always ready" I see that

Stop laughing, think about dead puppies
