Here I Go
Hey, guys. So stoked to be on here. I love the pod. I love all you guys. So the Here I Go shoot was truly so long ago. I barely remember half of it, but it was kind of, from what I remember, the usual chaos you'd expect from a shoot that came together super last minute. I scouted the house on Thursday and planned all the setups while Andy and Keeve were literally mid-flight to New York.

We had two performance setups in this super musty old church a few blocks away.

Andrea Persigliotti, the production designer, and the rest of her team did an incredible job bringing this all together. Jill Bream absolutely crushed it with the wardrobe. Shannon Lewis, the choreographer, fully executed. Eight, as they say. Emily Dinedra and Dina Moles produced the hell out of it and helped make what should have been a kind of impossible day relatively smooth overall.
