New Conversation Is Up...

Properly titled, "Danny Zuko" the new conversation is up. As I said previously, the whole thing is one take (no cuts at all) and was completely improvised, unlike any other scene we've ever done.

Some other fun trivia from the new conversation:

--The location we're shooting is a main location for the next episode.
--The shoot was shot in a span of 20 minutes, all completely improvised. Several takes are hilarious but couldn't be used because we're either make each other laugh or the lights would mysteriously go off. One of my favorite lines that didn't make it: "I don't mean to be a beer... I mean a bear. Well, I never want to be a bear..." Yes, it makes very little sense, but I love it nonetheless.
--The microphone IN the shot is our actual microphone is the microphone that's recording the dialogue in the scene. You can notice this when I walk away and get audibly quieter.
--I trip over the microphone cord as I'm walking away.
--Dustin (Mint) played Keneckie in our high school's production of GREASE -- which is why he knows most of Grease Lightning by heart (oh, you better believe he sang it -- they even had a real car on stage!)
--The scene's main direction was simply, "Mint asking David to act in the show."  After several attempts at improvising, we finally decided Mint should sing Grease Lightning. Luckily, Dustin never shies away from making a fool of himself.
--The lights mysteriously shut off like three times, at the same spot (right before he sings).

We're in the process of starting to try and think about putting out bloopers for all the new material -- I know some of you love them. We'll make sure some of the funnier improv from this scene makes it in.

Enjoy, guys!
