Behind the Scenes - Jensen in the captain's chair

[feliciakw]

This is very exciting! It also makes me want to work with a director as organized and . . . I want to say "experienced," but this is his first directing gig. Anyway, as organized and prepared and focused and "experienced" as Jensen. Truth be told, it'd be kind of cool to work with Jensen. :-)

I worked with such a director on one of my best theater experiences ever, when I was in Sweeney Todd. The director (who also acts, is a tech director by profession, and has apparently tried his hand at writing since I've moved) had such enthusiasm and passion for the production and was insanely organized. It's a joy to work with a director like that.

Also, according to the article, this is part of a longer documentary that will be included in the S6 DVDs. Can't wait to see the whole thing!

I know!!! And you're very welcome. A few people brought it to my attention, so I thought I'd share the wealth. :-)

Did you try it at the article? Maybe that one will work better for you?

It's so wonderful to see him so excited. His eyes kind of light up a little bit when he's directing. :-)

Yes! So very excited for this episode and for Jensen! Based on all that I've read, he did a great job, and I would expect no less from him. :-)

In the private meet and greet Jensen had at the Chicago Con, he said:

“I came at the project in a way I thought would make Kim Manners proud. I was so prepared, overprepared really. I’d spend all night going over the shots…. I was fortunate to have Jim (Beaver) and Mark (Sheppard). Those guys – everyone really – were so supportive. A lot of times when a director comes on set, he might say to the actors well, what do you think, and I’ll say well, I’ll probably do it like this, cross over here, whatever – it’s a collaborative effort. I, however, had a full shot list set up, but I never had to convince them. They were like ‘you tell us what you want us to do and we’ll do it.’ "

Oh! Is there an actual transcript of the m&g floating around? (Rather than a paraphrase of "he said this and he said that"?) I'ma want to read it if there is. *bouncebounce*

Thank you for sharing!
