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...
00:41Yeah.
00:42That'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.
00:47I 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.
00:54Um...
00:55It's good to see you, but it's good to see you.
00:56Yes, but I, yes.
00:57You look great.
00:58You look healthy.
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.
01:07You know what, though?
01:08I 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.
01:16So, 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.
01:26Maybe both.
01:27Both.
01:28Love that.
01:29That would be amazing.
01:30Oh, my gosh.
01:31There's also...
01:32Hold on.
01:33Yeah.
01:34I don't know what this is.
01:35We have some things going on today that I'm unaware of.
01:37I think they're doing a little fun thing with us today.
01:39So, let's see what this is.
01:40Okay.
01:41Oh.
01:42Hi, hi.
01:43Welcome to a special episode of Real Talk.
01:46This episode is in your hands.
01:48Your mission, recreate an iconic scene from one of Real Short's top dramas within this
01:55episode.
01:56Oh, shoot.
01:57Oh, my gosh.
01:58Is this for us?
01:59I cannot.
02:00Okay.
02:01We're acting it out?
02:02No.
02:03You'll draw from the hit show bucket, which is that I think, to find out which show you're
02:09taking on.
02:10It's a very hit show looking bucket.
02:11Good luck and have fun.
02:13Real talk.
02:14Okay.
02:15Okay, Luke.
02:16The Honors.
02:17This 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.
02:28I'm scared.
02:29All right.
02:30Surrender to my professor.
02:32Dumb!
02:33Oh, 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.
02:47Congrats.
02:48Congrats, Tess.
02:49And she did an amazing job.
02:50I mean, they have hundreds of millions of views on this one.
02:51But it's definitely a spicy show.
02:54Yeah.
02:55This one did really well, too.
02:57This was really popular.
02:58Yeah.
02:59It's a fun one.
03:00It's a hot show.
03:01Yeah.
03:02Did you call the IC?
03:07Do we need an IC for this?
03:09Yeah, Olivia Ku.
03:10We're going to need you in here.
03:11Are you the professor?
03:12Will you be 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...
03:19I need a coffee.
03:21Okay.
03:23Amazing.
03:24Cheers.
03:25Cheers.
03:26Okay.
03:27So, surrender to my professor.
03:29Let's go do this thing.
03:30Do we need to work out a contract?
03:31Like, do we need to do paperwork?
03:33Right.
03:34What's our...
03:35I'll just call my agent really quick.
03:38No.
03:39Let's just do it.
03:40Let's go.
03:41I'm so glad I brushed my teeth.
03:55I'm so glad I have a cop drop.
03:57Oh yeah.
03:58Let's go do it.
04:00Let's go do it.
04:01Okay.
04:02Hey, let's go do it.
04:03This is great.
04:04What's your favorite thing?
04:05I'm so glad I'm going to go.
04:06Hey, let's go do it.
04:07Let's go do it.
04:08I'm so glad to go do that.
04:09Let me know if you're not going to go.
04:10I'm so glad to go.
04:11And I'm so glad to go.
04:12I'm so glad to go do it.
04:13I am so glad to go do it.
04:14At least I was thinking, please don't go.
04:16So it shows on my face, please don't go.
04:18Also guys, when you are working really close together,
04:21you might be like, oh my gosh, this looks so weird.
04:23We're so close.
04:24Like no one talks like this in real life,
04:26but that's also filmmaking.
04:28Oh, David, you're so close and it feels so awkward,
04:32but that's just how it goes.
04:33So have a breath, man, for your post art.
04:36You're saying I need it, bro.
04:38Everyone will lose.
04:40And you guys don't have to be exact matching this.
04:43Of course, we have actual cinematographers on set
04:46who are doing this,
04:47but just it helps you kind of understand the layout,
04:50like his coverage, my coverage, a wide, things like that.
04:53You'll notice when you're piecing it together,
04:55you'll probably understand if you haven't done filming
04:57or why it can take four hours to shoot one scene,
05:00that only the scene is only two minutes,
05:02because you need to get the singles.
05:05If you pay attention, it cuts a lot.
05:07Usually you need at least a single on each other and a wide.
05:11And then anything past that is kind of special.
05:13Yeah.
05:14Like an insert, for example,
05:15like a really tight shot where the hand grabs the handle.
05:18That's called an insert.
05:19Or like you're looking at a phone
05:21so you can get a really tight shot to see what the phone is.
05:23That's an insert.
05:24And fun fact, verticals love inserts.
05:27They're kind of just as important as the coverage of the action.
05:30Slaps, slaps number one, inserts.
05:32And then an insert.
05:33And then an insert.
05:34Oh, gosh.
05:35The amount of times we've gone over time because of inserts
05:38and 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
05:44than even the acting.
05:45Also in vertical and two,
05:47something that's going to feel different in your body
05:49is you want to put whatever the acting is in your face
05:52as much as you can.
05:53You know, when something's shot horizontal,
05:55you can kind of use your body and move around a little bit more,
05:58in the vertical world, the energy is here.
06:01So, for example, if I turn towards a person,
06:04if I look at her, in real life,
06:06I might kind of swing or we call it banana out,
06:09you know, which is more natural to the body.
06:12In this world, the frame is only here.
06:14So it's all going to be here.
06:16Yes.
06:17It's very robotic.
06:18And you also, little movements, like, okay,
06:20something that I know I get a lot from
06:23is when I'm with my co-star, it's a sexy, beautiful moment.
06:26Look at their eyes, look at their mouth,
06:28and make it so kind of obvious.
06:30Like, it's like a up, down, up, down,
06:32and that reads to the audience like,
06:34oh, it's a sexy moment, kind of.
06:36Not how you act in real life, either.
06:38And then you also want to breathe,
06:40and make sure you're breathing,
06:41because all that stuff breathes on camera.
06:43Yeah.
06:44Anyway, 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,
06:55I need you, Sylvia.
06:57And you, Lawrence.
06:59Cool.
07:00And that's really it.
07:01Yeah, that's good.
07:02Okay.
07:03And are you okay if, um,
07:04on both of those moments,
07:05I just press my head on you?
07:06Of course.
07:07Hey, fun thing.
07:09So, something that...
07:10Hi.
07:11I thought it was a chair and she pulled it.
07:13I'm really big about respecting physical boundaries.
07:16It's just something that, um,
07:18I'll go kind of out of my way to any,
07:21even the simplest thing from touching all the way through the intimacy.
07:25I'll always make sure that it's not a surprise for the person.
07:29So like, for example, I asked,
07:31is it okay?
07:32I'm putting my chin on her head.
07:34Right?
07:35Which seems harmless,
07:36but I've noticed,
07:37and this is me nerding out,
07:39my chemistry with the female that I'm working with actually is stronger
07:45when you fellas show that respect first.
07:48Mm-hmm.
07:49So like me just making sure, you know,
07:51the woman knows I'm not here to try to sneak a look
07:55or I don't have any hidden motive behind this, uh, professional opportunity.
07:59Um, just making sure I do mine,
08:01if I bowl a lot, is that okay?
08:02You know, uh, and also having her back,
08:05if there's ever anything all the way down to the simplest things
08:08that she doesn't want to do, um, or vice versa,
08:11it just creates, uh, I've noticed that,
08:14and if you watch some of the shows I've done,
08:16some of the girls have been so talented,
08:18ridiculously talented,
08:19but we've been able to get really good chemistry.
08:22And I think I've learned humbly
08:24that sometimes that little bit of effort
08:27goes a long way in creating a genuine friendship.
08:30Yeah.
08:31And it shows through your characters
08:33because you're not doing a scene that you secretly hate this other person.
08:38Mm-hmm.
08:39You know what I mean?
08:40It's 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.
08:48Because even if the, like, I've had experiences of sometimes where the guy's like,
08:52really touchy, he thinks it's a fun thing.
08:55And it's like, oh, we're playing opposite.
08:57So we should be touchy.
08:58And then it makes me run away from him off screen
09:00because I don't want to be around him.
09:01And then we have no chemistry.
09:03And people know.
09:04And if you're, if you're, because people think, you know,
09:07because you're dancing in a gray area.
09:09I like to just remove the gray area altogether
09:11and fill it with respect.
09:12So.
09:13Yeah, of course.
09:14It's just, it's better.
09:15It's easier for everybody.
09:16Mm-hmm.
09:17Yeah.
09:18Yeah.
09:19Oh, tip.
09:21Sylvia.
09:22Yeah.
09:23I spent my entire life doing everything according to a plan.
09:27I graduated high school.
09:30Went to the private college I wanted to go to.
09:33Graduated top of my class.
09:36Got my dream job.
09:38Climbed the corporate ladder over the top.
09:40I, I've done everything.
09:43According to a plan.
09:46And then you show up.
09:50And you absolutely wrecked my plan.
09:57You'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.
10:26You are my life.
