00:00Welcome to Real Talk, where it gets hot, spicy, and to the drama.
00:30Luke.
00:32Hello.
00:33Yes.
00:34I don't even know if these are even on.
00:35It's been way too long since I saw you last, which I think the last time I was on the back
00:39of your motorcycle.
00:40That's, yeah.
00:41That's the last time I saw your hat.
00:43That feels like 20 years ago and 20 minutes ago at the same time.
00:46Completely.
00:46I feel like I never left this seat.
00:48Yeah, I just went to the bathroom and I've been chilling here the whole time.
00:51I've been going here, so.
00:53Just kidding.
00:54It's good to see you, but it's good to see you.
00:56Yes, but I, yes.
00:56You look great.
00:57You look healthy.
00:58I know you've been crushing it.
00:59She's been crushing it.
01:00I mean, every time I blink, she's doing another show.
01:04She's changing lives.
01:05It's amazing.
01:06I mean, you too.
01:06You know what, though?
01:07I have one issue with Real Short.
01:09Don't make me cry right now.
01:10I do have one issue.
01:11Oh.
01:12I don't understand why we have not yet done a show together.
01:15This.
01:16So, that is something.
01:18Fans here, please leave some comments.
01:20If you guys want to see Luke and I do a show, love interest, or we hate each other, who knows
01:25what it is.
01:25Maybe both.
01:26Both.
01:26We need to work together.
01:27I would love that.
01:28Oh, my gosh.
01:29Also, hold on.
01:30I don't know what this is.
01:33We have some things going on today that I'm unaware of.
01:36I think they're doing a little fun thing with us today.
01:39So, let's see what this is.
01:40Okay.
01:41Oh.
01:41Hi, hi.
01:42Welcome to a special episode of Real Talk.
01:45This episode is in your hands.
01:48Your mission.
01:50Recreate an iconic scene from one of Real Short's top dramas within this episode.
01:55Oh, shoot.
01:56Oh, my gosh.
01:57Is this for us?
01:59I cannot.
02:00Okay.
02:00We're acting it out?
02:01I don't know.
02:02You'll draw from the hit show bucket, which is that, I think, to find out which show you're
02:09taking on.
02:09It's a very hit show looking bucket.
02:10Good luck and have fun.
02:13Real talk.
02:14Okay.
02:14Okay, Luke.
02:14So, I think I'll have you do the honors.
02:16This looks like a fun toy bucket of some sort.
02:19You pick a show that I think we have to recreate.
02:23Oh, my gosh.
02:24This one's staring at me.
02:27Okay.
02:27I'm scared.
02:29All right.
02:30Surrender to my professor.
02:32Done!
02:34Oh, my gosh.
02:36Tess and Aaron.
02:38This is...
02:39So, I cast this show.
02:41You cast this show?
02:42I cast this show.
02:44This was Tess's first Real Short.
02:46No way.
02:46Congrats, Tess.
02:48And she did an amazing job.
02:49I mean, they have hundreds of millions of views on this one.
02:51But it's definitely a...
02:52I-C!
02:54Yeah, this one did really...
02:55This one did really well, too.
02:57This was really popular.
02:57Yeah, it's a fun one.
02:58It's a hot show.
03:00So...
03:00Yeah.
03:05Did you call the I-C?
03:08Do we need an I-C for this?
03:08Yeah, I know.
03:09Olivia Koo.
03:10We're going to need you in here.
03:11Are you the professor?
03:13Will you be the professor?
03:14We'll figure this out.
03:15We'll figure this out.
03:16I don't know.
03:17I need a table read.
03:18I...
03:18I need a coffee.
03:21Okay.
03:22Oh.
03:23Amazing.
03:24Cheers.
03:25Cheers.
03:26Okay, so surrender to my professor.
03:29Let's go do this thing.
03:30Do we need to work out a contract?
03:32Like, do we need to do paperwork?
03:33Right.
03:33What's our dairy?
03:33I'll just call my agent really quick.
03:38No.
03:38Let's just do it.
03:39Let's go.
03:40Okay.
03:41Okay.
03:41Okay.
03:41Okay.
03:41Okay.
03:41Okay.
03:41Okay.
03:41Okay.
03:43Okay.
03:43Okay.
03:45Okay.
03:45Okay.
03:45Okay.
03:45Okay.
03:45Okay.
03:45Okay.
03:45Okay.
03:45Okay.
03:45Okay.
03:45Okay.
03:45Okay.
03:45Okay.
03:45Okay.
03:45Okay.
03:47Okay.
03:47Okay.
03:49Okay.
03:49Okay.
03:50Okay.
03:51I'm so glad I brushed my teeth.
03:54I'm so glad I have a cop drop.
03:57Oh, yeah.
04:02Eye contact is powerful.
04:04If the camera always catches whatever you're thinking, so I always try to give myself a thought
04:10so that way it doesn't just look like I'm, oh, my thought here is at least I was thinking,
04:15please don't go.
04:16So it shows on my face.
04:18Please don't go.
04:18Also, guys, when you are working really close together, you might be like, oh, my gosh, this
04:22looks so weird.
04:23We're so close.
04:24Like, no one talks like this in real life, but that's also filmmaking.
04:28Oh, Steven, you're so close, and it feels so awkward, but that's just how it goes.
04:33So have a breath, man, for your post arc.
04:35You're saying I need it, bro?
04:37Yes.
04:38Everyone but lose.
04:39And you guys don't have to be exact matching this.
04:43Of course, we have actual cinematographers on set who are doing this, but just it helps
04:49you kind of understand the layout.
04:50Like, his coverage, my coverage, a wide, things like that.
04:54You'll notice when you're piecing it together, you'll probably understand if you have a dub
04:57film, or why it can take four hours to shoot one scene.
05:01That only, the scene is only two minutes, because you need to get the singles.
05:05If you pay attention, it cuts a lot, usually.
05:07You need at least a single on each other and a wide, and then anything past that is kind
05:13of special.
05:14An insert, for example, like a really tight shot where the hand grabs the handle.
05:18It's called an insert, or like, you're looking at a phone, so you can get a really tight
05:22shot to see what the phone is, and it's an insert.
05:25And fun fact, verticals love inserts.
05:28They're kind of just as important as the coverage of the action.
05:31Slaps.
05:32Slaps, number one, inserts.
05:33And then an insert.
05:34Gosh, the amount of times we've gone over time because of inserts, and you're like, what?
05:39It doesn't make sense.
05:40It's just opening the door.
05:41I promise you.
05:42Sometimes they're more specific about those little things than even the acting.
05:45So in vertical land, too, something that's going to feel different in your body is you
05:49want to put whatever the acting is in your face as much as you can.
05:53You know, when something's shot horizontal, you can kind of use your body and move around
05:57a little bit more.
05:58But in vertical world, the energy is here.
06:01So for example, if I turn towards a person where I look at her, in real life, I might kind
06:06of swing or we call it banana out, you know, which is more natural to the body.
06:12In this world, the frame is only here, so it's all going to be here.
06:16Yes.
06:17It's very robotic.
06:18And you also, little movements, like, okay, something that I know I get a lot from is when
06:23I'm with my co-star, it's a sexy, beautiful moment.
06:26Look at their eyes.
06:27Look at their mouth.
06:28And make it so kind of obvious, like it's like a up, down, up, down.
06:33And that reads to the audience like, oh, it's a sexy moment kind of.
06:37It's not how you act in real life either.
06:39And then you also want to breathe and make sure you're breathing because all that stuff
06:42breathes on camera.
06:43Yeah.
06:44So anyway, if you could remember all that.
06:45So yeah, tips of the trade.
06:46You're all going to be so good at silly.
06:48Yeah.
06:49We'll be out of a job.
06:50Yeah, we will.
06:51Are we sure we want to do this content?
06:52Right.
06:53And I'm probably going to go out.
06:55Nice to meet you, Sylvia.
06:56And you, Lawrence.
06:58Cool.
06:59That's really it.
07:00Yeah, that's good.
07:01Okay.
07:02And are you okay if on both of those moments, I just press my head on you?
07:07Of course.
07:08Hey, fun thing.
07:09So something that I thought was a chair and she pulled it.
07:13I'm really big about respecting physical boundaries.
07:16It's just something that I'll go kind of out of my way to any, even the simplest things
07:23from touching all the way through the intimacy.
07:26I'll always make sure that it's not a surprise for the person.
07:30So like, for example, I asked, is it okay?
07:32I'm putting my chin on her head, right?
07:35Which seems harmless, but I've noticed, and this is me nerding out.
07:40My chemistry with the female that I'm working with actually is stronger when you fellas
07:47show that respect first.
07:49So like me just making sure, you know, the woman knows I'm not here to try to sneak a
07:54look or I don't have any hidden motive behind this professional opportunity.
08:00Just making sure I do mine.
08:01If I blow a lot, is that okay?
08:03You know, and also having her back, if there's ever anything all the way down to the simplest
08:08things that she doesn't want to do or vice versa, it just creates a, I've noticed that.
08:14And if you watch some of the shows I've done, some of the girls have been so talented, ridiculously
08:19talented, but we've been able to get really good chemistry and I think I've learned humbly
08:24that sometimes that little bit of effort goes a long way in creating a genuine friendship.
08:30Yeah.
08:31And it shows through your characters because you're not doing a scene that you secretly
08:37hate this other person.
08:38You know what I mean?
08:39You actually like, man, this person, you know, I'm safe here.
08:43Yeah.
08:44So fellas, I, I put that one on you.
08:46It makes such a difference because even if like I've had experiences of sometimes where
08:51the guy's like really touchy, he thinks it's a fun thing and it's like, Oh, we're playing
08:57opposite.
08:58So we should be touchy.
08:59And then it makes me run away from him off screen because I don't want to be around him.
09:02And then we have no chemistry.
09:03And people know if you're, if you're, cause people think, you know, cause you're dancing
09:08in the gray area.
09:09I like to just remove the gray area altogether and fill it with respect.
09:12So yeah, of course we're, it's just, it's better.
09:15It's easier for everybody.
09:16Yeah.
09:17You didn't.
09:18Yeah.
09:19Bo tip.
09:20Sylvia, I spent my entire life doing everything according to your plan.
09:27I graduated high school, went to the private college.
09:31I wanted to go to, graduated top of my class, got my dream job, climbed the corporate ladder
09:39over the top.
09:40I, I've done everything according to a plan.
09:44And then you showed up and you absolutely wrecked my plan.
09:54But you've been perfect.
09:58You've taught me love.
09:59You've taught me joy.
10:00You've taught me kindness.
10:02You've taught me to appreciate the little things and myself.
10:09And now I don't care about my plan.
10:12I'm terrified of just losing you.
10:14But I don't want to lose you.
10:17I just hate that you have to pick between me and your life.
10:22You don't understand.
10:23You are my life.
10:32But I don't want to be your student.
10:35Well, let's change that.
10:41I'm Lawrence.
10:43Sylvia, nice to meet you.
10:45She's beautiful now.
11:07I can't believe you staring at me.
11:12What I'll say about shooting on that dang old camp.
11:16I told you, it drives me crazy.
11:22Jesus, girl.
11:24Go get some lunch.
11:29I got something I think you're going to like.
11:34It sparked him.
11:36Like you.
11:42See, this is why I knew I'd never find love.
11:45Okay?
11:46But also, I'll be outside of the car.
11:51Thanks.
11:55Come on.
11:57God.
11:59We'll go pick up some pins on the way.

12:07I don't know how to edit.

12:09I can do that.
12:10But I don't know how to edit a literal vertical.
12:12Do you?
12:13No, I'm definitely not.
12:15Okay.
12:16So I do have a friend at Real Short.
12:18His name is Wes.
12:19And I think maybe he can help edit.
