this post feels exactly like a conversation you would witness in a dream and think was completely normal and then wake up and think “what the fuck?” for a single millisecond and then immediately forget about completely
Just checked the "Garth" hashtag instead of the "Garth of Shayeris" tag for the first time in like. Months. And found I shit you not an influx of new Garth posts for me to look at. And I genuinely forgot not everyone refers to him like that
i just stumbled across a very cool interview with one of the sculptors who worked on the matrix, belinda villani, which you can find and read here :)
but i want to specifically highlight the parts about her agent smith sculptures. bc of course, i do X3
though i kinda ramble for a while, so it's going under a cut >;P
so it starts off like this↴
i just love the way she describes this moment, "like the digital information has been deformed"; harking back to the notion that the fights within the matrix are like that because it's within the matrix. the over the top, oft ridiculous action (affectionate) is the way it is not just to look cool but as an intentional way of highlighting its simulated nature, especially when compared to the more grounded fights of the real world....
(sidenote: i'm not 100% sure if that's the storyboard panel she's talking about bc i did see another one, but i couldn't get a good picture of the other so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (either way, i likewise love it)) (i found it here btw)
anyway, next is the actual sculpting :D ↴
ah !!! look how cool they are !! these are actual things that exist (or, at least, once existed) in the world; physical versions of smith getting completely decked in the face.. the world is a beautiful place <3
(the second pic is from the interview itself, but the first (along with the next few) i found on this prop auction site)
now, one last interview excerpt ;P ↴
i find the idea, not to mention the image itself, of her just playing with his face to see what it does so so funny XD dude had to deal with so much messing about to make the smith clones and such a reality. but it was very worth it. to me :3
but going back to that aforementioned prop auction site, what they were actually selling was this !!! ↴
it's a fibreglass replica of the sculpture, apparently (as mentioned on the site) there were another 44 also made and distributed to the crew, along with this unique solid bronze version ↴
!!! which is just.... ha ha wow ¦D this beauty belongs (belonged(?)) to one of the films' producers and was kept in his office for 20 odd years. can you imagine that ? a sculpture of you getting your shit rocked remade dozens of times over and kept in people's homes and workplaces as decoration ? it sounds surreal, yet it's hugo weaving's reality. lmao
anyway. i'm done rambling now. i hope you enjoyed these littl tidbits as much as i do. uh.... peace out ✌︎︎
