00:00Yeah, I got airdropped into the middle of, you know, a moving thing that had been moving for a year.
00:06Yes.
00:07And I was really reliant on you.
00:09And the best part of the day was soundcheck, which was a few hours before the show.
00:14And we'd go around and we'd choreograph what we were going to try to do that night because we shot
00:18it over four different nights.
00:20And to get the cameras where we needed them, we had to keep moving them around to get all the
00:24coverage.
00:25That was the first part of the collaboration.
00:27But I think the deepest part of the collaboration was in post when we were editing.
00:31And we'd sit in the, you know, I'd take a pass at a song or a group of songs and
00:36then Billy'd come in and we'd spend five, six, seven hours, whatever it took going through, shot by shot by
00:41shot.
00:41And this is where I really started to get Billy's perception of her relationship with the audience and how meaningful
00:48that was.
00:50And, you know, so that was the, I think that was the true collaboration.
00:54And then later it started all over again with the mix because we had to get the mix right because
00:59there was the music and then there was the fans singing and their presence.
01:04And we had to get that kind of ebb and flow between the fan energy and Billy's incredible performance.
01:11And we had to get that kind of ebb and we had to get into it and we had to
01:11get into it and it was a very good thing.
