Absolutely J-S, Action is a missing element. Sound is easy enough but there is no point in setting a sound FX track until the final cut.
Apart from cutting these takes - they can lose 30% and be a lot sharper and healthier, the flashing light can be faster and more dramatic, etc. Apart from tweaks, the action for the scene in the link is tentatively the voices over. There could also be green-screen live action helping with tension and better pacing. Dialogue might be ... "We're gonna outrun them in THAT?" "Beautiful ain't she. Let's move in and get settled." "Not bad inside, glad your scanners work. No I'm not, we have company." "Tell them to wait, we need the last hyper-pod linked in." "You don't have time." "Who is it?" "Three look interested in us, very interested." "Ready? Hang on, it could be bumpy." "Nice choice of words 'Could Be'. Can we go now?" "Are we clear?" "Patch this from trajectory control, there might be a way through but leave it to your bus." "On auto now." "So we get past them, then what." "They don't have anything like the hyper-pods I use in this thing." The scene is not a major in itself. All it needs to do is say there are the two good guys on the run from some big boys. The fun is making it up as I go of course. In the book, the idea of a pursuit was mentioned in passing after the exiles arrive at their refuge. A 'mention' is not action ... so ....... fun. Fun but not big enough to waste too much time creating hero assets for. Thanks for your thoughts. We are clearly on similar pages here. N.
