TRANSFORMERS: PROJECT GOLIATH (1 HOUR FILM)
Ranger H Fox for Rez
Rez is the main protagonist of the film project. He’s young, technical, small, scrawny, and just an average looking Decepticon. When you think of a Decepticon, you expect something sinister and evil but Rez is supposed to be a subversion of that expectation. If you’d look at him, you’d never expect him to be a soldier or evil. He’s just a normal guy who was forced into the Decepticon army. He has blue eyes, a sign of innocence and inexperience.

REFLECTING/UNSURE
**Rez is talking to his best friend. He’s reflecting on how he believes he shouldn’t be a part of the war. He’s sad that he lost his life at home to join the army. Should have a somber undertone because he's homesick and is conflicted with killing.**
Rez: I shouldn’t be here….I’m not a soldier. I’m...I’m an archivist. I was made to preserve history. All this killing, death...It’s not in my programming.
FEAR
**Rez just went through a traumatic experience and is extremely frightened/paranoid. His friend is trying to get him to snap out of it but Rez is overcome by fear and can't think straight. Must convey panic**
Friend: What are you doing running around?! It’s not safe.
Rez: I-I had to. That-That thing almost got me!
Friend: You sure he didn’t follow you?
Rez: I-I don’t know. I ran as fast as I could. What’s going on?! Where is everyone? Is everyone dead?!
Friend: Calm down. Just take it eas-
**Rez gets frustrated at his friend for not understanding his emotions**
Rez: Don’t tell me to take it easy! I almost died!!
Friend: I’ll explain everything. Relax..
**Rez starts uttering to himself and is starting to go crazy. Should start a bit calmer in energy but starts building up in energy as he gets more and more anxiety**
Rez: ….No no no... there’s no time! The Autobot, he’s-he’s coming for us! He could be here any second and we can’t call for help and-
Friend: Rez!!!
SOCIAL
**Rez is hanging out with his friend and sees something familiar and is excited!**
Rez: Woah look at that! An ion transmitter! Haven't seen one of these in a while! I gotta say it’s nice to see something familiar for a change.
Friend: Glad you like it! Hahaha..hehe….It’s broken.
**Rez says "nice" not thinking too much about what his friend said but after a pause, he realizes that it's broken. Should be comedic**
Rez: Nice....Wait what?
