that was the part i had to 'direct' him...we did it a few different times where he made a shocked face
then i was like nah man...SOMEBODY HAD YOUR KEY! you lose your knees, man...like imagine
then he nailed it.
although, if i'd thought ahead to have knee pads, i would have had him drop quicker
i learned that directing the camera shots and directing the actor are two completely different skill sets..this was so fucking fun
