Jennifer Morrison

Are you kidding me?

Yeah.

That's the first one?

Isn't that wild?

I had no idea what I was doing.

I remember leaving that set and being like, I need to figure out how to do this.

There's so many things that no one teaches, though.

I wish there was more out there.

Again, this is what I feel like I can contribute as a director, is when I'm working with actors and actually communicating things to them and just saying, hey, this is what's going on, or this is why.

Because I watch people melt down thinking that we're going again because they did something wrong, and they have no idea that it's a technical thing.

Or we just want to go again because I know...

Every time you do a complicated, you guys know this from directing, a semi-complicated move with a camera, it's fine the first time, it's pretty good the second time, it's great the third time, and the fourth time is exactly what you wanted it to be.

So if you don't tell the actor that, they get to the fourth take and they're like,

Right, right, right.

And you're like, no, no, no.

This is not... So just communicating that to people or telling people to... I did a pilot where there was like 17 kids who had never been in a show before and had to basically be their first acting coach.

And...

Just saying like you got to be able to memorize with tons of distraction because so many things that are distracting are going to happen.

And no one teaches you that.

You know, it's like everyone's like, well, I'm great when I'm alone in my room in silence.
