Scene 2 (Vileness Fats)

Scene 2 of The Residents' unfinished feature film Vileness Fats was conceived by the group in the early 1970s, with some film footage completed early in production, before they abandoned film in favor of 1/2" black and white videotape. 
The scene was never fully shot by The Residents, but would have introduced the character Weescoosa (Sally Lewis), an enchanted and immortal Native American priestess and the film's romantic female lead. 
The scene was long thought to be entirely unshot,Vileness Fats at The Residents Historical until some stop-motion animation and film footage matching the description of parts of this sequence was released to the public in 2015 in promotional bonus material for the documentary Theory of Obscurity: A Film About The Residents.
== History ==
Some preliminary film material and stop-motion animation was created for this sequence by The Residents in early production of Vileness Fats around 1972 and 1973, when the Vileness Flats bridge set was in place on the "soundstage" of their Sycamore Street studio. 
The sequence was described as having not been shot in the detailed synopsis of the film released to the Historical section of the group's website in 2005, however, excerpts of the animation and film footage were seen in bonus material for the 2016 documentary Theory of Obscurity: A Film About The Residents. 
The scene as described would have introduced one of the film's primary characters, the enchanted Native American priestess Weescoosa, portrayed by Sally Lewis. No footage of Lewis as Weescoosa in her bi-plane is known to exist, indicating that these scenes remained unshot, along with the following scene (which apparently would have included "a major production number") when The Residents abandoned the project in 1976.
== Official synopsis ==
As the battle rages, Weescoosa arrives in her biplane, and since it's difficult to tell which short people are in the most danger, she randomly strafes anyone within range. 
Shocked by her sudden appearance, the Bellboys quickly take flight, but as the Indian priestess brings the biplane in low to survey the scene, she loses control and crashes.
