just a marine snail and nothing major to worry about. some are predators, some are vegetarian. The predatory ones tend to go after other snails, starfish or on rare occasions, small fish.

Just do what they did 60 yrs ago, make the sets smaller so the people looked bigger. They also made rooms weird shapes so one side was longer than the other side. It looks square to the camera but if you have 2 people standing in the back corners, one looks huge compared to the other.

OK! I will put her in a spice jar & call it Steinhart Aquarium. (famous California aquarium).

I understand they do similar things in more contemporary films, such as blowing up toy cars, buildings etc instead of the real thing. Maybe because it’s cheaper than CGI.

Serais tu capable de me donner la traduction exacte en francais de cela là-haut? Please I need the translation of this (into French).

How’s this?

alors nous devrons lui donner de la nourriture radioactive avant de lancer mon film

It is a reference to old films, many from the 1950s (and some newer) in which organisms of all varieties are exposed to radioactivity and are transformed to monsters.

Run, Monsieur, Run!

Très bien Jenny, I have to say this word "pitch" is a very difficult one with a lot of meannings and for a learner like me important to be known.

 

[FishHobby99]

I used pitch as an idiomatic expression (a word or phrase that has a figurative meaning conventionally understood by native speakers)


“ What is a pitch in film? Pitching in the film industry essentially involves a writer or filmmaker persuading buyers— such as studio execs, producers, investors, etc — to purchase their idea or screenplay. The verbal persuasion that is film pitching comes in many forms”

Likely my use was missed by some native speakers. I know lots of words because my talent is sitting on my derrière reading.
