UKelly McNeely: Ngiyakuqonda ukuthi indaba ka Wozani kuBaba uhlobo lwasuselwa kokuhlangenwe nakho kwakho siqu. Ngabe ungakhuluma kancane ngalokho nokuthi lolo hlobo lwakhula kanjani lwaba ama-bonkers ngokuphelele kepha yindaba esuka enhliziyweni ukuthi iyini?

Intuthwane Timpson: Ngicabanga ukuthi bengifana nomenzi wamafilimu e-stasis, ngoba ngiqale ngohlobo lomenzi wamafilimu okhathazayo, bengivame ukuphuma ngiyokwenza amafilimu angasile njalo ngempelasonto. Futhi lolo hlobo ludidekile lwangena kwezinye izindawo eziningi zomkhakha wamafilimu isikhathi eside, futhi kwathatha ukudlula kukababa wami ukungishukumisa ngikhiphe umfece engangikuwo lapho ngangifinyelela khona amaphupho abanye abantu. 

Ngokushesha ngabona ukuthi impilo imfushane kangakanani, futhi uthola ithuba elilodwa kulezi zinto, bekuyindlela nje enkulu yokuvuka, ebhekene nokudlula kwakhe, kodwa futhi nokufa kwami ​​kanye nomhlaba wangempela. Ngakho-ke lokho bekunguhlobo lofuzo lwayo yonke into, futhi bekuyinqubo engajwayelekile ngempela kulosizi, lapho isidumbu esigcotshiwe sabuya sazilengisa egumbini lokuphumula lendlu yakhe, futhi ngangiphethe ukunakekela indlu ebusuku. Ngakho-ke ngachitha ubusuku obuningi - ubusuku obuyisihlanu - nginaye yedwa endlini. 

Ngibonile kwezinye izimo ukuthi kufanele ukhulume nobaba wakho ngemuva nje kokudlula kwakhe asuse zonke lezi zinto esifubeni sakho, konke lokhu okungaqediwe. Futhi konke engikwenzile bekungikhungathekisa ngokuphelele, futhi ngabona ukuthi ngifisa ukuthi ngabe ngizobabuza zonke lezi zinto. Futhi-ke bekungathi kudlula leyo nqubo yokudabuka, kepha futhi nokuhlangana nabantu abavela endulo kababa, nokubona ukuthi kunezindaba eziningi ngobaba wami ebengingazazi ngempela. Kwakuyizindaba ezinhle - ezithakazelisa ngempela - futhi wayenempilo enjengeyasendle, ecebile, kepha kwakukhona izindawo angakaze akhulume ngazo. 

Futhi kamuva lapho ngangicabanga ukwenza ifilimu njengenkokhiso kuye, kodwa futhi nokungikhipha kukhukhunathi wami, ngakusebenzisa lokho njengephuzu lokunyathela. Kuthiwani uma okwedlule ubaba wakho kumnyama futhi kwafika kukufuna. Lokho bekuyisiqalo sokuqala. 

Ngaya kumbhali, uToby Harvard, engangisebenza naye I-Greasy Strangler ngaphambili, futhi ngaba nesikhathi esimnandi kangako. Futhi, yebo, siye sakhumula lapho. Ekuqaleni bekuzoba yifilimu enhle kakhulu, ngoba ngangifana, nami babe ukwenza okuthile, futhi sasifana sobabili, izifiso zakho ziphakeme kakhulu, ngiyazi nje ukuthi kuthatha isikhathi esingakanani ukwenza amafilimu aqale ukusebenza. Ngakho bengithi, oh, lokhu kuzoba okwami Abazelwe [ehleka], kuzoba yi-super grungy, istock esingu-16 millimeter reversal stock, ngizoyiphinda ngiyisuse odongeni amahlandla ayisishiyagalombili, kuzoba yi-movie yami engaphansi. 

Futhi-ke umbhalo uToby aqeda ukuwubhala - ngemuva kokushaya emuva naphambili - wawumuhle kakhulu, kepha kunwetshiwe kakhulu, futhi kufana nokuthi, wow, le ndlela inonya kakhulu kunalokho ebengikucabanga. Kepha futhi ngumbhalo omuhle kangako wokuthi ngingathanda ukuwukhombisa abanye abantu. Ngakho-ke yilapho yaphuma yaya ku-Elijah [Wood], futhi ngenhlanhla wayithanda ngokuphelele, futhi yonke le nqubo yayiwuhlobo lwentuthuko esheshayo.

UKelly McNeely: U-Elijah Wood ubelokhu efana nompetha wamafilimu ohlobo lwe-offbeat, okumangazayo. Uke wasebenza naye ukuthuthukisa umlingiswa kaNorval? Uhlobo lweNorval lwaba khona kanjani?

Intuthwane Timpson: UNorval wayebhalelwe yena ngokuphelele. Ngokusobala u-Eliya uletha noma yini ayenzayo kuyo yonke indima abambe iqhaza kuyo, kepha isimilo sikaNorval sasicishe sifane nesikripthi. Ngithole uToby ukuthi abhale uhlobo olufana nesizinda sawo wonke umuntu obambe iqhaza kule filimu, ngakho-ke saba nalolu hlobo lwangaphambi komlando, olwanele nge-prequel yonke - hhayi ukuthi lokho kuzoke kwenzeke - kepha kwanele okokusebenza okucebile. Ngakho-ke uma omunye wabalingisi efuna ukungena engqondweni kancane kancane, babekwazi ukufinyelela kulo lonke lolu lwazi ngomlingiswa. 

Kepha uyazi, into enkulu ka-Eliya ayilethele yona kwakuyikhwalithi yozwelo yangempela kanye nobuntu obuncane, okungukuthi - kumlingiswa owayengavela njengopopayi kancane - ngoba ufana nomfokazi owela kulolu hlobo wezwe lasendle, i-rustic landscape, futhi nje bengafuni ukuya enhlanzini ejwayelekile ephuma ekushayweni kwamanzi. 

Sasifuna ukuthi abe nesikhukhula kancane, kodwa futhi abuye abuye abuye, futhi nezidingo ayefuna ukuthi zikubaba wakhe ziqondakale kuleso simo. Futhi ngicabanga ukuthi wonke umuntu unalezi zinkinga, uyazi, izingqinamba zabazali. Kukhona lokhu kulangazelela kokusebenza kwezinto nokuthola izimpendulo zemibuzo, ngakho-ke iphuzu lonke bekungekhona ukuphazamisa lokho - ukungakuphathi kalula lokho. Ngoba besazi ukuthi kufanele ikhokhe, leyo resonance engokomzwelo bekufanele isebenzele ukuphela kwethu ukusebenza, ngoba isenzo esikhulu kakhulu sezintambo kuyo yonke ifilimu tonally. 

UKelly McNeely: Futhi Wozani kuBaba inethoni epholile eshintshashintshayo kuyo. Kuhluka ngokweqile amahlandla ambalwa futhi kube yi-180s uqobo, engangikuthanda ngokuphelele. Ayini amathonya akho kanye nokukhuthazwa ukushintsha kwethoni nobuhle nobuciko befilimu uqobo?

Intuthwane Timpson:  Ngokuyinhloko, njengomuntu ohamba nge-movie, njengelungu lezithameli, angithandi nje ukuthi izinto zidlale njengoba bekulindelekile. Akunandaba noma ngabe izinto zakhiwe kahle kanjani futhi zenziwa kahle, uma kunguhlobo lwabahamba ngezinyawo, uma indaba ingathandeki, ngingayazisa, kepha anginayo injabulo engako. Futhi bengihlala ngifuna ukuthi le filimu phambili izonandisa. 

Ngakho-ke bekucatshangwe kakhulu ukuthi sigcina kanjani izinto ziguquka? Siwasusa kanjani lawo ma-180 ngaphandle kokukhipha ngokuphelele yonke into ngokwenza lokho kuphenduka nokushintsha kube kukhulu kakhulu. Kunzima impela ukwazi ukuthi baphumelele nini uze ubone ngabalaleli, uma kunomvuzo. 

Kepha maqondana nogqozi, ngingu-cinephile okhathazayo. Ngakho-ke kunezigidi nje zamafilimu manje ahlanganiswe ne-DNA yami futhi angikwazi ukuwabalekela. Zivele zivele kulokho engicabanga ukuthi kungumzwelo wemvelo, kepha kusobala ukuthi ziluhlobo oluthile lokufana, ukukhumbula okujulile. Sasinethempulethi, ngenza uhlobo lwethempulethi oluhlelekile lwazo zonke izinhlobo zamafilimu namaphuzu wokuthinta engangifuna ukuthi abhekisele kulolo hlobo lwamahlaya amnyama olungathandeki. 

Isilo esithandekayo bekuyifilimu ebesilokhu sibuyela kuyo lapho unenkulumo mpendulo ebabazekayo, emnandi, enhle, kepha futhi nale khwalithi yangempela ephazamisayo, efana nokuthi, ingahamba kanjani. Ngakho-ke uzizwa sengathi ufuna ukuletha wonke umuntu esikhaleni senhloko somlingiswa oyinhloko lapho kubonakala sengathi kuyindawo ephephe kancane, bese kuphazamiseka ngokwengeziwe, futhi uzibuza umbuzo wokuthi kuzofika kude kangakanani. Ngakho-ke lokho kukhululeka yinto engiyithandayo. Kumnandi ngempela ukuzama ukucabanga ngombono wababukeli, wokuthi bazozifunda kanjani izinto.

UKelly McNeely: Ngingene ngimpumputhe ngangokunokwenzeka, okuyindlela engiyithandayo yokubona ama-movie, futhi ngijabule kakhulu ukuthi ngikwenzile ngoba kumnandi nje ukuthi ijikeleza kanjani. Kukugcina ezandleni zakho.

Uveze ithani lamafilimu ohlobo amangalisayo afana nawo I-Turbo Kid, i-Deathgasm, futhi Ukungena endlini… Yini - njengomkhiqizi - ekujabulisa ngempela uma ubona umbhalo? Yini ekujabulisa nge-movie?

Intuthwane Timpson:  Ekugcineni lapho ngifunda iskripthi ngisondela kuso kuqala futhi njengezikhulumi ezihlosiwe. Okuzwakala kuphuma igazi kusobala kepha empeleni kuyinto enzima ukucisha yonke imishini yokucabanga evame ukukhahlela lapho uqala ukufunda umbhalo. Ngakho-ke ukulahleka kumbhalo kungumcimbi ongajwayelekile. Ubuciko kwesinye isikhathi bunqamula umfundi ongenzi lutho bese uqala ukufunda ngamanye amalensi abanzi. Kuba ukusondelana okungatheni.  

Ngenhlanhla kuvame ukuba nesikhathi esisodwa kwiskripthi esikhazimula kahle futhi ungacabanga ngokushesha ukuthi izokwakhiwa kanjani, futhi-ke, izodlala kanjani kuzethameli. Ngingumuntu othanda inhliziyo. Ngifuna konke engikwenzayo kwaziwe nokwamukelwa yizethameli. Futhi ngethemba ukuthi akusona isilaleli esisodwa!

UKelly McNeely: Usho ukuthi ungumlandeli omkhulu wohlobo. Yini ekudonsela kulolu hlobo lomculo? Futhi uyithole kanjani leyo mibono yodlame olukwifilimu, ikulahla impela. Kuhluke ngokuphelele futhi kukusha, kungakanani lokho okwenziwe cishe?

Intuthwane Timpson:  Kwakukuhle impela konke kusebenza. Besikhulume ngodlame, mina noToby, futhi bengingenayo inqubomgomo yezibhamu eqinile, angifuni ukuba nezibhamu ezibandakanyeka kunoma yiluphi uhlobo lwefilimu. 

Ngikuthola kuyisicefe njengesihogo, ngicabanga ukuthi kunezindlela ezintsha zokusebenzisa ubudlova ezingabukeka kakhulu futhi ngandlela thile zizizwe zithandeka kubalaleli. Futhi asinazo nje izibhamu eNew Zealand - kahle sinazo, kepha asinazo izibhamu, ngamunye - ngakho asikudingi lokho. Kimi kuzwakala nje njengenganekwane yesayensi. Futhi enye i-flipside yalokho kuyesabeka kakhulu ukucabanga ngayo, nganoma yini eyenzekayo. Ngakho-ke bengifisa ukusho ukuthi masingaze sibabandakanye nhlobo. 

Ngokufana nomakhalekhukhwini, senze iphuzu elikhulu lokususa lezo ezisheshayo kwifilimu, ngoba nje ngizithola ziluhlobo nje lokonakala kokwenziwa kwamafilimu kwanamuhla nezinhlobo zamafilimu asungulwayo. Ngakho-ke sichithe isikhathi esiningi siqhamuka nezindlela ezimnandi zokulimaza nokufaka uNorval esikhaleni. 

Mayelana nokuba uhlobo oluthile nje lokucatshangelwa, asikho isikhathi esichazayo. Yonke ingane yayifuna ikhithi yesilo seminyaka yama-70s, okuyisikhathi engakhula ngaso. Ngikhule ngizungezwe amafilimu eHammer Horror, ngoba iNew Zealand iyizwe elijwayelekile, ngakho-ke sasinezinto eziningi ezivela e-UK; i-BBC emangalisayo, i-ITV, ukwethuka kwasekuqaleni okwakhonjiswa, futhi lokho kwangethusa ngisengumntwana. Lezo izinkumbulo zempilo yonke engizishise kuma-synapses ami. 

I-tangent enkulu enkulu evela lapho ukuthi i-nostalgia yinto onayo, kepha akufanele uphinde ubuyele emuva uphinde ubuke kabusha. Ngenze iphutha lokubuyela emuva futhi ngavusa amanye ama-movie kusuka ebuntwaneni bami, futhi ngagcina ngonakalisa lezi zinkumbulo ezinhle owawunazo, ngakho-ke gcina izinto zivalelwe esifubeni.

UKelly McNeely: Ngabe ubambe inkolelo yamehlo omisiwe? Uyayikholwa leyomfundiso yokuthi ungatshela okuningi ngomuntu uma enamehlo omagilebhisi? 

Intuthwane Timpson: Ngingamehlo okaShaka kaRobert Shaw. Amehlo abanda, kashaka oshonile, lokho kusho kwami ​​okukhulu ukuthi kukhona umuntu okufanele ngiqhelelene naye. Ngakho-ke angisiye okholwayo wenkolelo yamehlo omisiwe. 

UKelly McNeely: Ngiyayithanda eyakho, kuyethusa kakhulu uma ubona lawo mehlo kashaka!
