I was never looking at it in any sort of way. Before I did this, I didn’t really have an opinion about YouTube. Q) Has being a part of the show made you look at YouTube any differently?Ī) I don’t think so. It ended up feeling great and being some of my favorite moments to shoot, but I just remember it being a lot in the moment. Hazel and the rest of the crew gave me the freedom I needed to work through it and allowed me to kind of breakdown on camera that day. Luckily, the way the show is shot (which is me holding the camera most of the time) gave me the freedom to use what I was feeling in my life in my work. So, all of that combined made it super difficult. A lot of changes were being made to the script and we were shooting a bunch of pages that day and it was just a really intense, high energy day. I remember the day being difficult for many reasons. Q) What was the hardest or most challenging moment to film and why?Ī) The hardest moment for me to film was a scene between Jasper and his mom at the end of episode seven. That is something we haven’t seen much of before in traditional television and it was really fun to explore that. I think what makes the show so distinguishable is the fact that it is told first-hand through Jasper’s vlogs. For me, it just feels like the cinematography is Jasper’s second half – because holding the camera and being responsible for a lot of the shots was such a big part in my process of finding him. How do the camera angles and cinematography play their own characters and help set the tone of the series?Ī) Yeah, I really like that you called it a character. Q) The show is centered around vlogging, you get this fly on the wall perspective.

PRANK ME SERIES SERIES
Q) What is it about the role of Jasper and the series “PrankMe” that really drew you to the project?Ī) I think the subject matter was what initially stopped me and made me think, “Wow this is something different.” But then I think once I actually started working on the character, on set and with Hazel (our director) I really started to find how complex of a person he is and that just lit my mind on fire.
