Hey Victor-Toombs
Steve threw the idea at me and I thought it would be hysterical
Steve is such a great director/writer and cool guy I’d pretty much do anything he suggests
But I was all in anyway because the premise of someone walking nude into a police station was brilliant
I “got ready” by reading a bunch of conflicting reports online from bodybuilding websites on how to look ripped before a performance
Some said water some said no water so I was like what the fuck? Ultimately there’s only so many crunches you can do before game time
And i actually find being naked quite liberating but it makes going to craft service unusual

Hi atseasheiscalm
The technically difficult ones are always fun
We do a lot of very intricate shots on Patriot and PG - long oners (scenes shot from only one angle with no coverage shots to cut away to) - so it becomes like a long dance routine where you have to focus for sometimes 5 or 6 minutes in one take. And if there’s any screw ups (camera, sound, wardrobe, actors) then we start over - so the cast n Crew have to dig in and nail it
The long train shot in PatS2 where Dorman exits then gets the gun was fucking amazing to shoot
The city, the boarding of the train the acting - all had to be spot on

Hi Heuromnemon
Thanks for checking in
Perp Grace is phenomenal so I hope you get to see it
The first thing I can think of re Dennis is I did this little head pat on my crown as sort of a “nervous/excited” quirk
That and a slight glasses adjustment every now and then

Hey KeyboardRomeo88
Thanks for the kind words. Steve puts together amazing teams. So many components of a great series or movie. Steve’s writing is brilliant and he’s got a very clear vision of the whole thing - he’s definite and confident and yet always flexible to talk with the actors or camera or lighting to hear suggestions or thoughts. It makes it very comfortable to do your best. Steve and I also have a very similar sense of humor and timing so we’re usually on the same page.
P3 would be phenomenal!

Hi forkingniednagel
Me Birdbath and Chernus are waiting in the store
Dorman and our steady cam operator Jody and his focus puller are on a real metro in real time
We don’t control the trains
At a stop Dorman gets off and Jody walks backwards up stairs into the store we have the shootout then we all go into the street at night and make our way to the metro and wait for it to come
And it does and we all board
I think we did it 4 or 5 times before we caught the magic train coming at the right time
It was a blast
