Event Dialogue
Roses and Muskets
- Petit Lumiere: How about it? Ready to try your hand at filming?
Yep.
- Petit Lumiere: Excellent. I've already set up the scene, the actors are ready, and all is awaiting your arrival.
- About your older brother...
- Petit Lumiere: Lumiere is much older than I, but that poses no obstacle to us brothers working together.
- Petit Lumiere: We were not yet famous when we filmed "The Arrival of an Aquabus" and "Employees Leaving the Factory."
- Petit Lumiere: We two brothers have done everything together, because no one was willing to assist directors who were not yet famous, haha!
- Petit Lumiere: If you are interested, you can go see those two films.
- I'm not ready yet.
- Petit Lumiere: No problem, I understand. A quality product requires time to incubate and nurture.
Whirling Waltz
- Petit Lumiere: Wonderful attractions and a wide variety of cinematic themes — it's just like an anthology film! Taking this temp job was absolutely worth it!
- You're only here on a temporary basis?
- Petit Lumiere: Indeed. As a film director, it's vital to find inspiration in life. Before this, I worked for a while in a shop and even as a blacksmith.
- Petit Lumiere: I may not be able to adjust to certain types of physical labor, but anything to do with the mind is very much in my wheelhouse.
- Petit Lumiere: If you ever need someone to help you come up with ideas, I'm your man!
- Have you found much inspiration here?
- Petit Lumiere: Indeed, I have. Much to my surprise — and delight — I've been inspired to try out some new shooting techniques.
- Petit Lumiere: In my previous works, I've tended to employ restrained, static shots to drive the narrative. Doing so strikes a good balance between the atmosphere and the information conveyed.
- Petit Lumiere: However, after observing these attractions and considering the broader flow of your guests' movements, I've come up with some new ideas on how to frame my shots.
- Petit Lumiere: I'm going to try them out in my next film. I'm hoping they lead to some interesting new effects.
- I'll leave you to your observations.
- Petit Lumiere: It's not just about observing. You also need to consider the reasons behind all the fine details.

Dialogue Set #1
Available after completing A Robust Theoretical Discussion, but before completing Popular Entertainment.
- Petit Lumiere: Are you ready to make a Flash Cut?
Let's do it!
- Petit Lumiere: Alright, the cameras are in position and our actors are also ready to go. All you have to do is to do your thing.

- Petit Lumiere: Alright, the cameras are in position and our actors are also ready to go. All you have to do is to do your thing.
- As for your plans for the future...
- Petit Lumiere: In my opinion, Flash Cuts is a creative format that hasn't quite achieved its ultimate state yet.
- Petit Lumiere: At the risk of sounding a little self-aggrandizing, it is worth pointing out that both Ms. Melies and I are professional directors.
- Petit Lumiere: From our approach to directing and shot composition to the use of special lighting effects, we both bring a particular perspective to the table. Therefore, the quality of our work naturally stands apart from that of the general public.
- Petit Lumiere: However, I expect Flash Cuts to be something that everyone and anyone can create and appreciate. I foresee it to be a format that allows anyone to enjoy the appeal of making short films, regardless of when or where they are.
- Petit Lumiere: Then, once we have sufficiently grown the public's appetite for Flash Cuts, the audience for traditional short films will also inevitably expand. Such a trend will, in turn, serve to elevate the industry as a whole.
- Petit Lumiere: At least, I think so...
- Petit Lumiere: Having said all that...
- Petit Lumiere: We may have to devise more dynamic camera sequences so that we can formulate more templates for Flash Cuts.
- That all sounds like a lot...
- Petit Lumiere: I apologize. I was just speaking off the top of my head. I wasn't trying to cause you any stress. Right now, all I wish is for the two of you to revel in the creative satisfaction of crafting Flash Cuts.
- About the Flash Cuts storyline...
- Petit Lumiere: Just as you've noted, currently we don't really have a plot for Flash Cuts. This, admittedly, diverges from the conventional understanding of what a "film" is...
- Petit Lumiere: As to how we can effectively have a storyline within the constraints of a Flash Cut, this is something I continue to investigate and explore.
- Petit Lumiere: I'm not sure if you recall the first time we worked together. At that time, I suggested that you only need four shots to construct the smallest divisible unit of a story.
- Petit Lumiere: And based on the experiment I just performed with Ms. Melies, I now believe that we can bring that number down to three.
- Petit Lumiere: That is why all the scripts I've given you all ask for three shots or fewer.
- And how are the results so far?
- Petit Lumiere: It remains a work in progress. As we don't have that many completed works at the moment, I have yet to come up with usable templates. As such, it'd be a great help if you could continue making more Flash Cuts.
- Give me a moment.
- Petit Lumiere: That's not a problem. Making Flash Cuts is all about giving free rein to your heart after all. You may begin whenever you're ready.
Dialogue Set #2

- Let's do it!

- Petit Lumiere: Alright, the cameras are in position and our actors are also ready to go. All you have to do is to do your thing.
- As for your plans for the future...
- Petit Lumiere: I hope to get more trustworthy partners onboard, such as my older brother, Ms. Lepine-Pauline, and Mr. Xavier.
- Petit Lumiere: You see, while the potential for Flash Cuts is indeed massive, the risks involved are equally substantial. Ms. Melies and I don't possess the necessary means to pull this off by ourselves.
- Petit Lumiere: Of course, before moving forward, I must keep Ms. Melies on track, lest she deplete our entire budget all at once...
- Give me a moment.
- Petit Lumiere: Exactly. There's no need to rush. We've already established the direction for Flash Cuts, so all we have to do now is to move toward our goal, slowly but surely.
Trivia
- Petit Lumiere and his mentioned older brother are based on the 19th century French filmmaker brothers Auguste and Louis Lumière, known for their short films and the invention of the Cinematograph motion picture film mechanism.
