Production ideas

I was thinking of examples on how to demonstare pace to the people in
the production of "The Emperor's New Clothes." We want to have the
lines flowing, kind of like a relay race. Passing the baton from
runner to runner. The pass is made when the receiver is close to top
speed, and does not look back when they grab to baton. Therefore the
average speed of the baton is quite fast.

I found another one, or maybe there's lots of them out there, and I
just found this one. In the Pixar movie, "The Incredibles" there are
a number of action sequences, but the dialogue is quite speedy too.
When Helen and Bob are bantering regarding directions, it's very snap,
snap quick, and moves with the chaos of the truck. Then there is also
the conversation with Lucious and Honey. It's line upon line upon
line. The next one starts just about before the other one finishes.
That kind of the pace you want these productions to move at, unless
you have a bit of a pause on purpose.

Any kind of pause will make things seem a little odd, or tense, again,
its all of what you want to set the mood with.
