Here's the thing. 2 00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:08,399 Speaker 2: I'm a bit of a nomad, so these episodes come 3 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:12,039 Speaker 2: to from wherever I'm living or traveling to at the time, 4 00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,680 Speaker 2: so I'll share with you what's going on in my world. 5 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:21,400 Speaker 2: From book tours, animal encounters, delish meals, nature adventures, health 6 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:25,599 Speaker 2: discoveries to swimming in hidden Byron Bay beaches. Come with 7 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 2: me as I share my adventures with you all. Hello there, Gangles, 8 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:35,839 Speaker 2: and welcome to the Ala Potteroony Diary, coming to you 9 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 2: from none other than Los Angeles. It's been a fun week. 10 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:47,480 Speaker 2: It's been an interesting week in that some cool things 11 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,879 Speaker 2: are on the horizon, but I've just essentially been on 12 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 2: hold for them. So in acting world, when a casting 13 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 2: director asks for your availability, you essentially hold those dates 14 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 2: and then they let you know if they're going to 15 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 2: use you or bring you in for a fitting and 16 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 2: then use you or not. And this week I've been 17 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,680 Speaker 2: on hold for something and I have had said lots 18 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 2: of questions about it, like am I comfortable being in 19 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 2: a bikini? Am I do I own a suit jacket? 20 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,839 Speaker 2: Stuff like that, And then like there were three fitting 21 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 2: days and I gave my availability for them, and then 22 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 2: filming days as well, and for all the questions back 23 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 2: and forth, I essentially just stayed on hold and right 24 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 2: now as we record, would have been said fitting. 25 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 1: But obviously I presume built their cast. 26 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 2: So it's really fascinating because it's kind of like exciting, 27 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,399 Speaker 2: and I would say a win because I'm a bit 28 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,199 Speaker 2: more visible than I may have been, say a month 29 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 2: or two ago. But also it's a bit of a like, 30 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 2: oh shift me timbers Well, I can't plan much while 31 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 2: I'm kind of on hold. So it was really interesting experience, 32 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 2: a new experience for me, and I definitely don't feel 33 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 2: down about it. I'm just like, okay, cool, that's an 34 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 2: interesting experience of being played based on hold and not 35 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 2: essentially booking. But you know, that's what this pot is. 36 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 2: It's an honest telling of the truth of a life 37 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 2: of an actor. 38 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,639 Speaker 1: Here in La. Speaking of here in La, we. 39 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,359 Speaker 2: Just went and had a cute little coffee with our 40 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 2: friend Ilius who's in town, and we went to this 41 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 2: really cute cafe that's kind of like a greenhouse bookstore 42 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 2: slash cafe. It's called Cafe Neido and Ido. 43 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: Really sweet. It's in Echo Park. 44 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 2: It's a cool little vibe and we Boss and I 45 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 2: shared a little brecky burrito and our butto got a 46 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 2: steak burrito and all really really good yummy coffee and 47 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 2: just a cool little bougie La Cafe. And there were 48 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,919 Speaker 2: lots ofceedings, so it wasn't like you couldn't figure out 49 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 2: where to see it. I would definitely. It's a good 50 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 2: little meetings what I definitely take meetings. They are moving forward. 51 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,799 Speaker 2: I'm so glad I got to experience it because I'd 52 00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 2: never been there before. Okay, yesterday was a really I 53 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 2: filmed a podcast so in La So in Australia, I 54 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 2: always film the pods because I have access to the 55 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 2: beautiful iHeartRadio studios in both Melbourne and Sydney. But when 56 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 2: I'm in Los Angeles, I kind of just do what 57 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 2: I'm doing for you right now, and I sit down 58 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 2: and I record the audio. But I had a really 59 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 2: special guest on yesterday. He is a director, writer and 60 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 2: executive producer. His name is Joshua Friedman. He's incredible. He 61 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,519 Speaker 2: has just directed his first feature film and it's called 62 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 2: The Queen's Jewels and Boss and I got sent. I 63 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 2: think I told you this last week. We got sent 64 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 2: basically a screener. We sat in bed and watched said 65 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 2: screener and it was really cool. It's kind of like 66 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 2: a hero's journey, friendship journey, thriller adventure finding treasure, all 67 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 2: set in the Bahamas. Really really cool and such a 68 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 2: fun adventure to follow. But what was so cool yesterday 69 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 2: was really getting to peek behind the veil and learn 70 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 2: and understand. And they're behind the scenes from like the 71 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 2: seed of the idea to creating a short film and 72 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 2: then that being a treatment that's used to sell an 73 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 2: option a feature film, and then where they are now 74 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,600 Speaker 2: with distribution, and it's just really exciting. And Boss and 75 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 2: I are going to a special screening next week here 76 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 2: in La for it as well, which I'm really excited about. 77 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 2: So that episode will drop Monday. We're just waiting on 78 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 2: the files from the pod company and then where Matt's 79 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 2: gonna have to get to work with audio, and then 80 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 2: my beautiful friend Western's going to help me edit all 81 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 2: the audiogram files, like all the video files from yesterday. 82 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: So it was a lot of fun. 83 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 2: It is so much fun to film podcasts, and filming 84 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 2: pods is really big here in LA because a lot 85 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 2: of people put them on YouTube, and I don't think 86 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 2: it's as big in Australia to film your pods other 87 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,479 Speaker 2: than to create like social media assets. But it is 88 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 2: really fun. Like I've just done a like just at 89 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 2: the moment in the process of negotiating a couple of 90 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 2: social media gigs, and all of them want filmed pods, 91 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 2: and I'm like, that is amazing. But just so you know, 92 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,919 Speaker 2: like filming a pod, you have to hire the studio, 93 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 2: then you have to hire an editor. You need a 94 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 2: panelist in the room as well. You need three cameras 95 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 2: so you can have If it's two guests, you might 96 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 2: need four cameras, but if it's two guests, if it's 97 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 2: one guest, sorry, it's a camera for me, come camera 98 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 2: for the guests, and then. 99 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:28,039 Speaker 1: A wide shot. 100 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 2: It's a lot of fun, but it's also a lot 101 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 2: of moving pieces. And this turnaround we've got right now 102 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 2: was a really tight turnaround. So as soon as we 103 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,159 Speaker 2: receive those files, it's going to go straight to the 104 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 2: editor and then the clock will be ticking because this 105 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:42,479 Speaker 2: is an episode that is going to. 106 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: Drop for an Aussie Monday. 107 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 2: So excited, but also like there's a lot of work 108 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 2: doing in a very short amount of time. 109 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: Okay, so I just did this really cool thing today. 110 00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 2: I watched this Q and A with the show runner 111 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,280 Speaker 2: and co creator of the Last of Us. His name 112 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 2: is Craig Maine or in Americans say Craig, they don't 113 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 2: say Craig, and editor Timothy Good And it was so cool. 114 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 2: It was like essentially a peep behind the scenes of 115 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,359 Speaker 2: the Last of Us. As you know, that is where 116 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,600 Speaker 2: I discovered and fell head over heels for lovely Pedro Pascal. 117 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 2: I've even got a T shirt with his munk on it. 118 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,159 Speaker 2: And it's such a great show. If you haven't seen it, 119 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 2: don't worry. There's not going to be any spoilers in 120 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 2: what I say to you. But what was really cool, 121 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 2: like especially hearing Timothy Good speak, who is the editor, 122 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 2: who's kind of often the editors often the unsung heroes 123 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 2: of a feature film or a really great TV show because, 124 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 2: like I get taught in acting class, like you're acting 125 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 2: is often only as good as the editor, because the 126 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,160 Speaker 2: editor is in charge of what shots they use a 127 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 2: view like how long the camera is going to stay 128 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 2: on you before they cut to the other. Like an 129 00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 2: editor really has a huge huge job as far as 130 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 2: like bringing out the actor's best work, like from an 131 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 2: editing perspective. Anyway, I just took some notes down and 132 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 2: I'm going to share them with you because I think 133 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 2: they're really fascinating. So an editor described his job as 134 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 2: mining for emotion, making the emotion count. This can be 135 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 2: done through framing wider frames, keeping it less emotional, and 136 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 2: tighter shots. Tighter frames when the emotion really hits or 137 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 2: amps up. So much work has done. These are dot points, 138 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 2: by the way, so much work has done in the 139 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 2: prep And then I put a little note for myself. 140 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 2: I think this is the case for actors too, like 141 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 2: you want to prepare for prayer, for prayer so that 142 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 2: you were so free to explore and react and connect 143 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 2: to the other characters or actors in the scene. And 144 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 2: then they said you have to dive deep on the dailies. 145 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 2: So the dailies are the daily cuts, So whatever they've 146 00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 2: shot that day then goes us that same day to 147 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 2: the editor and the editor starts editing straight away. You 148 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 2: have to dive deep into the dailies, so the editor 149 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 2: will get sent dailies, which is like whatever they've shot 150 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 2: that day, and then they'll work on those dailies to 151 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 2: make sure that they've got the shots or to make 152 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 2: sure that nothing needs to be reshot because once a 153 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 2: set is striked some once you strike a set, you 154 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 2: pull it down and then you're onto kind of like 155 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 2: the next part of filming. So and editor is arguably 156 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 2: kind of like the right hand of the director. And 157 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 2: they work very very close all showrunner and they work 158 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 2: very very closely together. So I love this. As the 159 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 2: characters are closer to truth, I cut closer. If they're 160 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:44,559 Speaker 2: not telling the truth, then I film them wide so interesting. 161 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 2: Editing is all about problem solving and commitment. So commitment 162 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 2: to the goal of the show, commitment to making it 163 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 2: the best possible thing it can be. The goal is 164 00:08:55,040 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 2: to make it as un thing that's the wrong word. 165 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 2: I've written there as possible, to make it as real 166 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 2: as possible, like untouched kind of thing. They want it 167 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 2: to be real, and they plan for imperfections like if 168 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 2: there was because it was this is the same duo 169 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 2: I believe that did Chernobyl, and they talked about like 170 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,199 Speaker 2: if there was a helicopter in Schnobyl, like how long 171 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 2: has it been sitting there? Would there be like water, 172 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:25,839 Speaker 2: condensation or rust on the side, like plan planning, imperfections 173 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 2: makes it realer. Everything begins with intention. I would say 174 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 2: that is the same for actors, directors, writers. These guys 175 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:39,840 Speaker 2: said they are obsessed with storytelling, not just obsessed with 176 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 2: using sound as storytelling, not just the picture. So much 177 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 2: of the storytelling is in the sound. In grief scenes, 178 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 2: sometimes there's no sound to make us feel like there's 179 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 2: something or someone missing. Using environmental sounds in an emotional 180 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 2: way is essentially a musical to score. And they both 181 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,319 Speaker 2: talked about how much they enjoyed doing that, and they 182 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 2: really deep dive and kind of like dialed in on sound, 183 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,199 Speaker 2: saying sound is crucial. Without it, a TV or movie 184 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 2: will feel sterile. Sound is an incredible mover. It is 185 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 2: the glue that holds everything together. And it says here, 186 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 2: sound is the most evocative thing like smell, Like it can. 187 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: Bring up a memory, which is really really cool. 188 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 2: And I was like, I was listening and watching this 189 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 2: like panel and I was like, Matt, are you listening. 190 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,199 Speaker 2: He's like, yeah, it's so good. So it was really 191 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 2: fun to just soak it up and kind of like experience. 192 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 2: You know. What I love is a great show as 193 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 2: a consumer or a viewer, and just to kind of 194 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 2: like see it through, you know, the lens of the 195 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 2: actual creators, Like how cool is that? Since I last 196 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 2: spoke to you, Matt made this massive cook up for 197 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 2: our friends who are all so Italian or one's Italian, 198 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:07,319 Speaker 2: one's Aussie. But Matt literally made almond biscotti.
