Hey folks, Harry here and it seems that the only working Nanobot that I have is Nanobot 000001, and he is dogged and relentless in it's pursuit of knowledge concerning LORD OF THE RINGS. From what I can tell of the following report from my highly trusted roboticly engineered here in Austin, source... The following is a TEST that was done using a famous actor, that will not be in the final film. Personally I believe that the below actor is Keanu Reeves. And this actor will NOT be in the final film. Thank nameless deities. And now... I turn ya over to my mightiest myte.... Nanobot 000001
[BEGIN STATEMENT]
[NANOBOT 00001 REPORTING AS ORDERED SIR]
[SECURITY CODE: SQUA TRONT]
[ORIGINAL MISSION ABORTED. REASSIGNED TO GATHER INTELLIGENCE ON LORD OF THE RINGS. NANOBOT 00001 DIRECTIVE: THERE IS BUT ONE FILM TO RULE THEM ALL AND IN THE DARKNESS OF THE THEATER TO BIND THEM.]
[SECONDARY DEPLOYMENT FOR NEW ZEALAND RESULTS IN INFORMATION GATHERED: 1 PICTURE: VISUAL FX PRELIMINARY TEST IMAGE OF COMPUTER GENERATED ELVEN MAKE-UP.]
[ERROR IN LINE 5573952. ANALYSIS: GEEK SUBCONCIOUSNESS OVERLOAD. SOLUTION: MUST RETURN TO NEW ZEALAND YET AGAIN]
[TEXT EXPLANATION: THE FOLLOWING COLORED PIXELS DOES NOT CONTAIN THE IMAGE OF AN EXISTING ELVEN CHARACTER. THE HUMANOIDISH FEATURES ARE NOT ATTRIBUTED TO ELROND NOR LEGOLAS NOR GALADRIEL. THIS IS THE WETA TEST FOR A PLAIN VANILLA AVERAGE ELF CHARACTER]
[CONTINUED: FURTHER EXPLANATION OF THE WORD AVERAGE REVEALS IN THIS CONTEXT TO REFER TO AN ELF SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THE LIFE RANGE OF A YOUNG ELF LIKE LEGOLAS AND AN ELDER ELF LIKE GALADRIEL. TO THIS ARTIFICIAL POSITRONIC BRAIN THE FONDNESS TO THE ATTRIBUTED CONCEPT OF BEING A GRAND-SON (IN AGE) TO ELROND, THOUGH THAT IS NOT THE CHARACTER BELOW. IN FACT THIS IS MERELY A TEST]
[CONTINUED: THE BELOW TEST IS THE RESULTS OF THE FURTHEST TEST OF WETA CREW FOLKS IN CREATING AN AVERAGE ELF OUT OF A HUMAN. THIS WAS ACCOMPLISHED BY WORKING ON THE BASIS OF A WELL-KNOWN ACTOR, AN ACTOR THAT WILL NOT BE USED IN THE FILM. SAID ACTOR WAS THEN METAMORPHIZED INTO AN ELF. THE CHALLENGE UNDERTAKEN BY WETA GENIUSES WAS TO EFFICIENTLY ALTER THE ACTOR'S VISAGE AS TO NOT INTERFERE WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF THE ACTOR AND CREATE THE FEELING IN THE AUDIENCE THAT THEY ARE NOT LOOKING AT ACTOR X, BUT RATHER THE FACE OF A TRUE ELVEN-BEING.]
[CONTINUED: THAT GREEN BEHIND ELVISH BEING IS YOUR BASIC GREEN CYCLO. FOR THIS TEST THERE WAS SHOOTINGS, 3D, 2D, SOFTWARE RESEARCH, BACK TO 3D AND ON AND ON FOR MANY MONTHS. THIS IS UNEXPLORED DIGITAL TERRITORY WHERE WETA IS RE-WRITING WHAT CAN AND CAN NOT BE DONE WITH THE WORLD OF DIGITAL MANIPULATION. NANOBOT UNIT 000001 IS QUITE AROUSED BY THE DIRECTION THIS PIXEL PUSHING IS GOING]
[TEMPORARY LOSS OF REASON]
[CONTINUED: THIS IS BUT ONE FRAME IN MANY. DUE TO FAULTY ENGINEERING NANOBOT 000001 CAN CAPTURE ONLY ONE FRAME OF FILM AT A TIME. THUS THE NECESSITY TO REDEPLOY NANOBOT 000001 IMMEDIATELY FOR NEW ZEALAND RECONNAISANCE. THE MOST AMAZING WORK HERE IS BY THE 3D TEAM AT WETA THAT CHANGED THE VERY SHAPE OF THE HEAD IN A CONSTANT NON-FLUID MANNER. SOLID MANIPULATION WITH OUT LIQUIDITY IN THE MOTION. EVERYTHING IN THIS FACE HAS BEEN ALTERED TO A DEGREE. FROM WIG TO IRISES TO THE TIP OF CHIN.]
[CONTINUED: THE PROCESS THAT WETA FX TEAM ALPHA HAS ESTABLISHED HERE WILL BE USED TO A POINT IN THE CREATION OF ALL ELF BEINGS. MEANING THAT THE VERY FACES OF THE ACTORS YOU KNOW WILL NOT BE THE FACES OF THE ACTORS YOU KNOW. LIV TYLER WILL NOT LOOK QUITE LIKE THE LIV TYLER YOU KNOW. SHE WILL BE AN ELF, NOT A HUMAN.]
[CONCLUSION: NANOBOT 000001 HAS DETERMINED THAT A MEMORY UPGRADE IS NEEDED TO FURTHER THE ABILITIES OF SAID NANOBOT. NANOBOT 000001 ALSO HAS DETERMINED THAT NEW ZEALAND SHOULD BE MOVED CLOSER TO HOME BASE OF AUSTIN, TEXAS, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. JOURNEY LENGTH IS EXTREME. PERHAPS SPECIAL PIPELINE NEEDS CONSTRUCTED. THAT IS ALL.]
