The director could barely stay in his seat he was so excited that they had had the brilliant idea to 3D scan the interior of Notre Dame cathedral and use that as their spaceship interior. Dude was over the moon. All I could think was, “Yeah, nice job. Way better than designing something original. Truly you are a paragon of the craft, good sir.”
