The group immediately took the finished episode to Father Lisores at the church.
Father Lisores was clearly astonished by their achievement.
"You actually made this yourselves?!"
Father Lisores kept watching, his amazement growing.
He found it almost unbelievable.
Even though he now lived in seclusion in Meteor City, he still understood the costs required to produce a film in the outside world.
Not to mention the manpower, materials, and various expenses, all of which are enormous.
There are also the problems that arise during filming, as well as the main content, editing, sound effects, and so on.
Luke, Chrollo, and the others have done a very good job!
Obviously, this is already quite mature work.
"Even I can't find many flaws."
Although there are certainly some imperfections, in Father Lisores's opinion, this is already a very complete work.
At least, it's much better than some of the works he's seen in the outside world!
"It's really hard to imagine how you did it."
Watching the members of the Hundred Beasts Squad fighting against the monster played by Uvogin, the sparks from the explosions made Father Lisores exclaim in amazement once again.
Luke, Chrollo, and the others smiled at each other.
Such special effects can be easily created with the Easy Special Effects Video Camera.
To achieve a more realistic effect, a 3D Projector can be used.
In short, Chrollo's clever mind was filled with numerous inspirations during filming, and he effectively implemented them all.
"You've done a great job…"
With expectant looks from the others, Father Lisores nodded gently, giving his approval: "There's absolutely no problem showing this to the children in Meteor City."
"I can also continue to lend the church's room to you for screenings for the children…"
"Yes!"
As soon as Father Lisores finished speaking, Sarasa jumped up excitedly.
The others also grinned, very excited and looking forward to it.
Nothing could be better than having their work, which they had put so much effort into, recognized and given the opportunity to be shown to children of their own age, making them happy.
Uvogin laughed heartily and raised his arms.
Everyone else had smiles on their faces.
Even Machi and Feitan, who usually don't show much emotion, had smiles on their faces.
"Not only is the film well-made, but the underlying message…"
Father Lisores raised his head after watching the entire film and looked deeply at Luke and Chrollo.
This core theme of defending against foreign invaders and protecting their home. Isn't that precisely what resonates with the current situation in Meteor City?
Father Lisores believed that this was definitely not merely a contrived plot.
When he looked at Luke, Luke smiled back at him.
In that brief exchange of looks, everything was understood without words.
The fact that Luke was willing to come to the church again and have Father Lisores be the first to see the finished film spoke volumes.
He was willing to accept Father Lisores's investment and contribute to the defense of Meteor City.
Father Lisores nodded silently; he was quite pleased.
From that day forward, he would do his best to advocate for Luke's rights in Meteor City.
At the very least, the church would provide Luke with maximum support.
Soon, with Father Lisores's help and promotion, and with Chrollo and the other children's encouragement, the news of the film screening at the church spread quickly among the other children in Meteor City.
And because of Chrollo's previous successful screening, many children in Meteor City were very much looking forward to it and came rushing over.
When the screening hall was once again packed, Sheila, the projectionist, skillfully pressed the play button on the projector.
Immediately, the words, Battle of the Beasts, appeared on the large screen.
(T/N: Battle of the Beasts = Name of the Movie; Hundred Beasts Squad = Name of the Team; Beast Kings = Name of the individual members.)
"Aren't they supposed to be the Clean-Up Rangers?!"
The children, who had been so eagerly anticipating the film, were taken aback.
This was not what they expected.
But soon, the children recovered and continued watching.
For them, just having something to watch was good enough.
Who cares what kind of film it was?
And just looking at this movie alone…
"It feels even more advanced than Clean-Up Rangers!"
Well, the Clean-Up Rangers movie that Chrollo showed before was just a simple video with the characters' dialogue overlaid on the visuals.
There were no special effects, background sounds, transition music, or any other kind of background music.
But for this movie, Luke and others have made very thorough preparations!
At the very beginning of the main film, there's a brief introduction to the background, including the sacred mountain, the evil organization, and the cause of the conflict.
Then, with the help of the sacred maiden and the inventor who lives in seclusion there, the five members of the Hundred Beasts Squad, who have successfully obtained the power of the beasts, make their dazzling debut!
"Blazing Lion, Beast King Red!"
"Lone Eagle, Beast King Yellow!"
"Raging Shark, Beast King Blue!"
"Iron bull, Beast King Black!"
"Beautiful White Tiger, Beast King White!"
When the five Beast Kings appeared and transformed with special effects, showing their beautiful battle suits, the children went wild with excitement!
