Dialogue
- Petit Lumiere: I have some bad news. According to a street survey I had The Steambird run, people don't seem all that enthused about the art form that is Flash Cuts.
- Petit Lumiere: That's really odd. I mean, everyone I talk to says they enjoyed the final cut they saw, but the moment I ask if they're interested in the production, they suddenly sound a lot less enthusiastic...
- Paimon: Wait, really? But Flash Cuts are so much fun to make!
- Petit Lumiere: The data shows that for most people, the second biggest obstacle is equipment. After all, not everyone is proficient in film kamera operations and post-production...
- Petit Lumiere: And the greatest obstacle of them all is that people just don't see what they can get out of it, especially since it's hard to share whatever output they create with the people around them.
- Melies: Sharing, huh... I know! We could put together a Flash Cuts Festival! That'd be a way for everyone to feel like their work is being seen and appreciated.
- Melies: Yes, let's do that! We're going big or going home!
- Paimon: Hey, hey! You can't "go big" for everything!
But very few people in an audience actually attend a festival.- Besides, a festival is something that happens only once in a blue moon.
- Petit Lumiere: Like Ms. Paimon, I also think that an event like this has a barrier to entry that isn't exactly low — not just for us, but for the audience we're trying to reach too.
- Petit Lumiere: Moreover, the general atmosphere and life cycle of an event like this are also a little removed from the lives of the masses. What we need are examples that cater more to the average man or woman in the street.
- Petit Lumiere: And if we're talking about the average man or woman in the street... the most popular form of entertainment in Fontaine has to be The Steambird. It's just that this particular medium seems...
- Paimon: Maybe we can edit everyone's works into a compilation reel! Then you can watch it with a whole bunch of friends!
- Melies: That's right. And maybe we can place it at the start of other short films, just like they do with ads at the cinema. In short, I think there are plenty of platforms and media channels we can choose from!
- Petit Lumiere: Looks like there's still plenty of room for Flash Cuts as an art form to grow. This is truly gratifying to know...
- Melies: (Traveler), Paimon, thank you! Thank you for helping me identify my next goal!
- Paimon: Hehe, all we did was to blurt out a couple of ideas, really.
- Well done, us!
- Just make sure we're well remunerated for this.
- Melies: Please don't worry. We'll definitely invite you onboard if this works out! I also promise to put you two at the very top of our guest list.
Post-Quest Dialogue
Melies
- Melies: Oh hey there, my dearest partner! Are you here to shoot a Flash Cut?
- Someone's in a good mood.
- Melies: Of course! Now that we've shown Flash Cuts to be a viable enterprise and have a future path, the future is bright, bright, bright!
- Melies: Both the short-drama format of Flash Cuts and the ad-style Flash Cuts that was just proposed have the potential to take Fontaine by storm.
- Melies: Now, all we need to do is take the plunge! We're set to become the biggest stars in all of Fontaine, no, the entire world.
- Melies: And when that happens, we'll never have to worry about running out of Mora again... the crazy special effects no one wouldn't have touched before, the six-hour-long experimental films... There's light at the end of the tunnel now!
- Just make sure you don't spend all your money in one go...
- Melies: Oh, don't you worry about that! As Fontaine's most talented director, I can assure you my project management skills are equally top-notch. You can expect to hear good news from us!
- I'll leave you to it, then.
- Melies: Bye! You can come by anytime. Maybe we'll have even better news for you the next time we see you!
Petit Lumiere
- 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.
- (Opens the event gameplay interface)
- 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.
