00:00The magic of movies are things that you can't think of in your room, that you cannot plan
00:04in a committee, that happen when everything aligns, that you're all telling the same
00:08story and yet there's room for play and that us as the filmmakers really have to be listening
00:14to the movie when it starts speaking back to us.
00:16I can be like this is the frame, this is what happens in the storyboard, remember we rehearsed
00:19this and sometimes musicals can be like that because it's such a technical part of musicals
00:25but I feel very lucky that I've gotten to do a lot of movement with music and dancing
00:29so the technical part is not the hard part, is actually finding what we call butterflies
00:34in this.
00:35It's the moments that hey something's happening and I whisper to Alice Brooks, our cinematographer,
00:39catch her that moment, maybe pull the frame up a little bit, Carson our eight camera operator,
00:45you know when she will rise above it and it just sort of goes up because we had to make
00:48a choice.
00:49You stay down and stay true to this frame or you tilt up and suddenly you do that enough
00:55and it becomes a part of this language, you're like oh something's happening here and we
00:58didn't plan this but the camera itself is as if we're the audience and we're now participating
01:04and that's sort of fun.
01:05Okay so then in one short day, let's make it like we're through their perspective and
01:10let everybody look at the lens, break that fourth wall as if we're a Disneyland ride
01:13going through it and you're walking in as one of the girls.
01:17These are the things that I think are what make movies special, capturing a moment that
01:20could never happen in any other situation, on any other day we would overthink and we try
01:24to do that as much as we could.
