After a three movie struggle, acclaimed director, Michael Bay, is receiving the award for most slow motion large robot jumps in the air. With a staggering 100 slow motion jumps, taking up a solid hour of Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Michael Bay has earned this prestigious award.
At the award ceremony Michael Bay had this to say, "Some directors strive for plot clarity and riveting emotional scenes, but I want my movies to be about robots tumbling through the air in slow motion. It's never been done and I am pretty good at it."
Those who shared this honor with Michael Bay clearly confessed that his movie had the most tumbling robots jumping in slow motion of any genre in existence. Due to his fear that a movie might try to steal this feat, Michael Bay made sure that no scene was left untouched by his patented robot tumbling through the air in slow motion.
"What I was trying to capture," he commented, "is that robots sometimes jump and when they do jump its important that the audiences truly capture it frame by frame repeatedly. I didn't want the audience leaving the theater wondering 'I wonder if robots can jump slowly.'"
Though not without its obstacles, some of the execs tried to hamper Michael Bay's style with character development, romance, and robots that stood perfectly still on the ground. It didn't take away from the goal he was trying to accomplish. Though in one seen, Shia Lebeouf was going to turn into a robot so he could jump through the air slowly.
Analysts say that if the slow motion jumps were taken out of the movie it would only be twelve minutes long. Michael Bay commented on this saying, "I don't make robots jump in slow motion through the air because it automatically makes them better; I do it because I have an obvious compulsive obsession and need help immediately."
We look forward to Michael Bay's newest movie, Jumpo the Slow Motion Jumping Robot.
