11/7 notes

Abi, I need you to have the idea for you to be less crabby and him to be less Christmassy

Talk to me about City slickers. Memory.

Tuck the shoes back behind immediately. So we're not stuck looking at them.

Rollerbladers thank you for having personality. Ice skaters on stage. I need some personality! You're really boring.

Rollerbladers, don't be so crazy with your arms. You can't distract from the scene you have to add to it

Please do not touch the curtains. It moves everything!

Freeze when Jovie starts singing and then come alive when everybody starts singing

Tyler, can you please memorize this script? That would be so wonderful!

Santa's, you've got to listen to the plot. You guys are all in this together.

Olivia motivate why you run over to Coleman

Motivate moving your chairs right now. There's no reason for you to do it. Santa's

Also Santa's you're really quiet. Can we be louder?

Kaleb, Macie and Drew's Christmas tree was perfect

I need you to pay attention to when you're using buddy and nobody interchangeably. It means both things.

Abi used that first part of that music to get up off the bench and walk over towards center looking for him and then use that as the motivation to start singing.

But it's true Abi and Talmage. I want you guys to get together and run this scene a couple of times before we do it again. It's right after the song never fall in love with an elf. I need you guys to work on communicating with each other. Come and talk to me about it

Talmage, I'd also love you to be memorized.

Buddy where is your snow globe?

Riley and Taylor, I want you to look at that dialogue and decide what the most important moments are. And then build from that.

Office you have to listen and play off of everything.

Eli, you have to make that leg a lot more important. And really land that story of it being the greatest thing ever.

Everyone in the office, your whole world and jobs are on the line right now. If you don't come up with an idea by the time Greenway gets there, you're all fired. You've got to give me some high steaks. You've got to be worried. Can you all the people that are on at the beginning of this scene, the story of Buddy the elf, can you all be writers?

Greenway I need to see you before she says your name.

Not hitting the joke Tyler on that. Look for any elf you want.

Okay, people in the office once buddy enters it needs to be you by yourself trying to come up with your own story. You don't talk to each other, be like deep and thought. Trying to figure out your story that you could share to save your job. Don't talk to each other at all. It's too distracting.

Okay, people in the office. We need to clarify when you move and when you are focused on other things.

People in the office is he starts to tell the story. It's exciting because oh my gosh, I want to know what happens next. That's the end. It's not mean and perplexed. It's excited because you want to know what else is. He's going to talk about. The idea of a baby being a Santa's bag is thrilling and exciting.

You have to get excited to see Walter join in because this is the Walter you started working for a long time ago and really liked until he just lost his way. You got to find that like love behind it so that you have a reason to start singing and dancing.

Family on that roll thing, once you get to the end of it, you can't drop your characters. You have to keep the characters at the end of that.

Don't sneak in just come in because you hear a story that might sell being told and you're excited about it. You can't act like you're trying to hide, you have to be interested in what's happening coffee people.

Make sure you don't mouth other people's words.

Okay once he says he loved it you can't match but you have to be adults reacting to good news. Go home and ask your parents how they react to. Really great news at work. I'm fact that's what I want you to do for your notes assignment. All then and either film them or write what they tell you they do.

Alex talk to Randy about the horse part and possibly with a cell phone after.

buddy. Talk to me about the sir. I'm not a horse line

Alex, I need a little bit more of a threat on that wife and weirdo family part.

People in the background right before Greenway says you got a problem with that. I need to see that you have a really big problem and then all the sudden you change your faces. But then as soon as he turns away from you you go back to being upset.

Buddy, can you walk over to Greenway when you address him, and then make it be a surprise to us that you're going to say Merry Christmas.

Right after class tomorrow, Cheryl would like to work with Matthews and Chadwick, buddy and jovie, and Emily and Michael.

Make sure your body's and faces are always telling me a story. They always have to be communicating

Ensemble that's out here on the newscaster part. Right after Buddy says piles of garbages will be covered in snow. You look out into the house and snow starts to fall and I need a reaction to that

Need love of Christmas at the end.
