(i’m sliding in a little late here as i just made it home.)

so, the last time i was at musical filming (like 2 weeks ago) i had crazy ass nightmares about filming all night long. and in one of them birthday boy figured prominently. the script called for a character to walk away with a twinkle in thier eye. and you, gene, couldn’t figure out how to film this. i was trying desperately to explain the look and the backwards glance over the shoulder with a close up on the face concept to you, but it just wasn’t flying. finally i was like, “we’ll just add a twinkle in po-pro, ok?!”

why we had to have an actual twinkle for a metaphorical “look,” i don’t know.

my point here is that, even though you’re a whole quarter of a century now we can always edit some things out with po-pro. so when you get those wrinkles and grey hairs, have no fear. po-pro will help you if you fall and can’t get up. po pro will be your walker with tennis balls on. po pro will be your pee tube.

happy slightly late birthday!

    We used to say that at Squelch meetings all the time. For any edits, failed jokes, or paradoxically unviable suggestions by Tyler Roscoe, we assured everyone that we’d take care of it in post-production. Impossible graphics, bad jokes, holograms, post-production would solve it all.
