In-Depth Information
Shirra said this about his dialogue: “The dialogue was meant to be largely
visceral
gobble-
dygook with the occasional comprehensible word thrown in. When I recorded the voices,
I pretty much made a lot of it up as I went along, but I had storyboard drawings to look at
so I knew what needed to be said, even if in an abstract way!”
“Beep! Beep! Beep!”

Similarly, the dialogue in Chris Nabholz's short,
Respire, Mon Ami,
is composed in French.
It sets the mood of the piece. Intended for a primarily English-speaking audience, the subtitles
create anticipation and suspense and control the timing of the release of information.
