00:00:09.350 --> 00:00:11.360
- Yeah, it was, there was a lot of

2
00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:14.460
actually hand-on puppeteering

3
00:00:14.460 --> 00:00:17.700
and then there was robotic
puppeteering off stage.

4
00:00:17.700 --> 00:00:19.780
So they'd be either in the next room

5
00:00:19.780 --> 00:00:21.280
or sometimes they had a visual line

6
00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:24.420
of the animatronic while
they were operating the,

7
00:00:24.420 --> 00:00:25.790
the facial movements.

8
00:00:25.790 --> 00:00:29.090
Foxy is a great example where
you would have puppeteers

9
00:00:29.090 --> 00:00:30.820
performing digitally off stage

10
00:00:30.820 --> 00:00:33.320
and then you'd have
puppeteers directly on the

11
00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:35.580
puppet making it move.

12
00:00:35.580 --> 00:00:37.920
- And by digitally you mean
with the little like remote

13
00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:38.600
- Control? Remote

14
00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:39.600
- Controls?

15
00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:42.680
Yeah. I think the level of
movement that we were trying

16
00:00:42.680 --> 00:00:44.280
to achieve for some of the stage work

17
00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:47.740
with the animatronics was like
one of the bigger challenges.

18
00:00:47.740 --> 00:00:49.920
If you're dealing with just one

19
00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:53.100
of the fully animatronic
versions of our characters,

20
00:00:53.100 --> 00:00:55.520
you have to be careful of how
long you're moving them for,

21
00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:57.940
because that taxes the servos

22
00:00:57.940 --> 00:01:00.180
and they have a limited amount of,

23
00:01:00.180 --> 00:01:01.360
of time that they can operate.

24
00:01:01.360 --> 00:01:02.670
Before you have to call Cut,

25
00:01:02.670 --> 00:01:04.820
- There's a scene of Chica and Kitchen.

26
00:01:04.820 --> 00:01:07.720
But even on set, like that
was, for me, visually, one

27
00:01:07.720 --> 00:01:10.100
of my favorite sets to,

28
00:01:10.100 --> 00:01:13.000
to see them perform on
it was, it was moody.

29
00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:15.120
I don't know. It was, there
was a lot going on there.

30
00:01:16.230 --> 00:01:19.400
- I'll say, as much as we
really did the whole approach

31
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:22.800
of this movie and certainly
what the animatronics was to do,

32
00:01:22.800 --> 00:01:25.860
everything practically, there
still ends up being like a,

33
00:01:25.860 --> 00:01:28.720
you know, fantastic
collaboration to be had

34
00:01:28.720 --> 00:01:33.180
with V F X artists, whether
that be cleanup or enhancements.

35
00:01:33.180 --> 00:01:34.320
All of our conversations

36
00:01:34.320 --> 00:01:38.000
with the V F X teams were also
about how can we support it,

37
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:39.500
feeling and looking practical.

38
00:01:39.500 --> 00:01:42.450
So we were really all in sync about that.

39
00:01:42.450 --> 00:01:44.240
- There were times where
we'd have Foxy kind

40
00:01:44.240 --> 00:01:46.240
of just hanging out in the
corridor, just chilling

41
00:01:46.240 --> 00:01:47.760
until the next scene, and then somebody

42
00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:48.800
would not be paying attention.

43
00:01:48.800 --> 00:01:50.990
They'd look around and
we'd be right there.

44
00:01:50.990 --> 00:01:52.960
I've been caught off
guard by them at night,

45
00:01:52.960 --> 00:01:54.880
especially like shutting
the shop down at night

46
00:01:54.880 --> 00:01:57.310
and you have all the
lights off and then you run

47
00:01:57.310 --> 00:01:58.460
into Bonnie or something.

48
00:01:58.460 --> 00:02:01.440
It could be, keep it on your toes. Yeah.
