We
started working on microPLOT in mid 2005 already, but when we concentrated
on finishing Monkey Tale we couldn’t get around wrapping up action for
this movie.
So
basically, this movie was pretty much done exept for the end fight when
Monkey Tale was released.
Since Fuku injured his foot during shooting on another small project,
we could only start shooting the action late in 2006 when we had already
finished principal shooting for Wattasakka!
In
order to enhace certain plot aspects of the movie, Hide decided to add
some additional matte paintings for the intro and other visual FX which
took another 2 weeks.
This
time we were lucky enough to remain totally undisturbed during shooting on
all the different subway stations.
The
endfight is fairly standard modern kick-boxing, nothing fancy and rather
taking on a supporting role for the story which certainly needs some
thorough inspection in order to get your head around it...
You
might call it experimental if you will, but you’ll see.
Eduard who had his debut role in microPLOT, did a great job on the score
with just the right mood.
Some further points on
the plot:
the title is very
suggestive in itself - on the one hand it's a storyline that is going on
beneath the surface, it's micro-scopic if you will. Also, plot means
conspiracy which gives an idea of what this is all about.
The voice character on
the phone is not the Fukuyoshi-character Hideyoshi is fighting at the end.
Interpretation plays a
key role in giving a certain meaning to the film, it's not for those
people who don't like to think when watching a movie.
While it's pretty
difficult to pinpoint a definitive plot, there is a rounded up storyline
as a basis to the whole story and it wasn't just a nonsense story with
plot elements tied together without purpose.

Evan: MAN, again you guys just never fail to amaze me!!! I must applaud you for your camara work! It just blows my mind how well you guys are able to handle the camera in such a professional way! Are any of you in film school? MAN, you guys are great! Andreas Nguyen: aaaaaalter!!! grandios^^ richtig tolle effekte, kampf wiedermal nicht zu überbieten! und Fukuyoshi, seit wann hast du so ne tiefe stimme lol^^ Das einzige was zu bemängeln war, waren die Schussgeräusche... aber nicht der Rede wert! Klasse Regie und saubere Photography des Filmes! Das Jahr fängt schon mal gut an :-) freu mich schon auf Wattasakka (sowieso^^). Ihr überrascht mich immer wieder aufs neue, "positiv" natürlich ;-) greez Andy Camper_: I've been waiting all year for this one and now when i watched it I have to say it's...different. Definitely interesting and original. But I have to admit I expected a bit more. Hard to say what's gone bad, maybe nothing, maybe that it's just my personal feeling...on the other hand, the endfight was awsome - as usual. I'm looking forward to seeing Wattasakka! Fukuyoshi: yeah, we had the though that this is going to either way succeed or blow, and as I see it's gotten rather disappointed responses (from other places as well) I guess the latter one is the case.
- Well I told Hide no one will understand it, and it's anyway not really meant to be clearly understood. Dunno, Hide is away right now, hope he finds some i-net connection at where he is so that he can shed some light on the whole thing.
- As for me, I just did what Hide told me ;-).
- He wrote and directed. All I can say is, that I like what he's done. The sfx are so mindblowing and also the cinematography is very good. I think the whole feeling of it is positively different to our other stuff. So those points are the main selling point of mP. Not the action which more served as a plot-filler. Also, compared to our other better fights, this one took only 4 days to shoot (in hours it was about 10).
- It has some individually good moves like the beginning move and the stuff which comes after that small stand-off thing. As a whole the fight is nothing special. rdenn: superb , good handwork and good rythmn loved it, but i still prefer monkey tale(thats becuase im an old school fan) , nothing could touch that in hk or anywhere else, big up gkf411: Really good work. I enjoyed the settings and the action a lot. I feel there should have been more though; the end seemed a bit abrubt. Is this all of microPLOT or is there another part coming?

- Great job as always! ob1: any ideas why this movie cannot be opened by Quicktime when I download it?! The YM: ob1: sorry, it's compressed with MPEG 2. As far as I know you actually need to install the codec first. It doesn't come with the normal codec pack in Windows. But you can download it freely anywhere on the net! Ricardo: I really enjoyed the small storyline for this short film. The use of digital effects is also a good addition. I see how you guys have grown and I say real nice! Keep It Up! shsh110: It's so good, MAN!! I love it:) And I love outtakes too~
