Emma Tammi: 作为电影导演，她对电影的评价感到紧张和担忧，但她也会阅读影评并从中学习。她从纪录片制作转向剧情片，并最终执导了《五夜怪谭》。她被游戏的丰富世界观和故事吸引，并决定将其改编成电影。电影中使用了由吉姆·汉森公司制作的动画木偶，并参考了史蒂文·斯皮尔伯格的电影风格。在制作电影的过程中，她主要依靠游戏创作者斯科特·考森的反馈，以确保电影能够引起粉丝的共鸣。她之前没有使用过动画木偶，与吉姆·汉森工作室的合作让她受益匪浅。制作动画木偶的过程是一个巨大的工程，需要团队的共同努力。为了让电影既恐怖又适合PG-13的观众观看，他们避免了血腥的画面，而是通过营造恐怖气氛和跳跃惊吓来达到效果。Blumhouse公司给予了她很大的创作自由，但也会提供建设性的反馈。虽然电影是在大银幕上映为目标制作的，但她也很高兴电影也能在流媒体平台上播出。她正在关注一位在Instagram上制作《五夜怪谭》预告片乐高版动画的创作者，以及一位在Instagram上创作微型场景和蜗牛视频的艺术家。 Yasmin Gagne和Josh Christensen: 作为主持人，他们与Emma Tammi讨论了电影的制作过程、粉丝反馈以及电影的评价等方面。他们也分享了自己对恐怖电影和流媒体平台的看法。

Shownotes Transcript

Halloween season is here! And actor-director-producer Emma Tammi joined us to chat about her upcoming film, Five Nights at Freddy’s, based on the popular video game franchise. She told us all about adapting a video game to a movie, working with large animatronic puppets, and creating a horror movie that’s aimed at a PG-13 audience. But the scariest part of the movie process, according to Emma? Reading the reviews. . . .Opening Friday, October 27, in theaters and on Peacock, *Five Nights at Freddy’s *is produced by the spooky creatives at Blumhouse with the murderous mascots from Jim Henson’s Creature Shop.

Everyone feels like they have a book in them. Well, Roya Shariat proved it! The Glossier director of social impact and brand partnerships shared her tips on working a full-time job while pursuing her passion project. Spoiler: There’s no such thing as balance. It’s more of a trade-off. “It’s something I continue to struggle with,” says Roya, “and I’d say I’m not the best at dividing my time. It’s using my nights and weekends for that passion project and being a little ruthless sometimes about not going to socialize this month because I’ve got to work on this book proposal . . . It’s just, sometimes, not sleeping and sometimes working seven days a week.” Her cookbook, Maman and Me, is available now in bookstores around the U.S and coming soon to global markets.
