Gratuitous Gene Kelly post.
Oct. 6th, 2009 01:40 am"An American In Paris" was on telly tonight while we were filming in the hotel room. The guys always let me be in charge of the remote (cuz I'm the only girl?) and I stopped on it before three of the four even got there. Brandon and I were setting up lights when the others came in. We were waiting for Free to set up the camera and figure out what the hell he wanted to do while we watched some. It's the beginning of Gene Kelly's big ten minute dream sequence finale.
(Some dancer's scarf falls perfectly over Gene's shoulder as he dances away from her.)
Howard: "Wow that's cool how they got that scarf to do that."
Me: "Gene Kelly choreographed that, so he made it. 'Scarf you do this neat little thing like this.' [tiny voice] 'Yes, Mr. Kelly!' That's how Gene Kelly does things. He gets shit done."
Guys: *laugh*
(Later on Free moves the light stand and accidentally unplugs it.)
Free: "I did not want that to do that... Guess cuz I'm not Gene Kelly."
Us: *laugh*
Howard: "That was good."
Yay Gene Kelly.
Before that Brandon, John (lead guy, not my director guy) and I were eating in the hotel and brandon starts looting the kitchenette: "Okay, does this hotel come with ketchup?"
Speaking of John my director guy, he had neck surgery! Deteriorating discs in his neck! He's gotta wear a neck brace and everything. I wanted him to play my dad but even his voice is shot and he said he wasn't really up for it and apologized a bunch of times. But I got Dennis (the other director/teacher at the school) to do it instead. Damn, it's 2! I gotta pick him up tomorrow so I better get to bed!!!
Also, Free told me in his full script of this short film, my character DIES! She takes the John Belushi route.
