| I'm going to guess that Urie handled the direction for his acting, having done it SOOO many times for so long, and that Paul Wontorek (the credited broadcast director) did the camera direction between the two cameras Urie had set up. Paul is a Broadway.com reporter, editor, producer (and founder I believe) and host of their "Show People" interview series (he's basically Broadway.com's Andy Cohen) but not, as far I've ever heard or read, a director or known as one. Other quarantine readings have had their original director return to direct the actors and little bits of staging... so I'm not sure why Urie would depend on someone with no professional directing experience to direct him in this ... which is why I assume he handled it himself. Or perhaps the original stage director did work with him on this (even if just to watch him do a few runs, maybe even with Paul directing the cameras but only broadcast to the original stage director)? I'd be curious to know more about how it worked. And of course I dont' want to shortchange Paul if he did actually directed Urie's acting beyond just "cross to this camera at this point", but even those crosses seemed cued entirely by text and performance needs, but who knows! |
