I might be a hypocrite, Lexa, but you’re a liar. You felt something for Gustus. You’re still haunted by Costia. You want everyone to think you’re above it all, but I see right through you.
The director takes us BTS of that big WayHaught moment
TTVJ: A huge moment for the show, that was also important to so many fans, was the WayHaught love scene in Episode 402. Emily has said that was a full team collaboration between you, Dom, Kat, and herself. Can you just share a little about your thoughts on that scene?
PB: We all knew we couldn’t just go into the scene and do it. So we sat down — Emily, Dom, Kat, and myself — and really discussed many, many things. We discussed what it meant, but also for them as actors. We went way back into the birth of them, as actresses, doing WayHaught. After we had that quite long discussion — that was very honest, candid, and wonderful for everyone — we decided how we’d shoot it.
I had this idea of fragmenting it so that we wouldn’t have to see all the continuity of all the moves, but just fragments of moments all broken up. Everyone agreed to that, and then we really spoke practically of where people would be. On the floor? Against the wall? They were so wonderful because we really spoke in all honesty like, ‘In this position, we cannot see things of the body,’ and ‘In this position, this is where I think the camera will be.’ They were so easy in their approach of it.
We shot that scene extremely fast because we had discussed it before so much and were at ease. We had everybody out besides the camera operator, the boom guy, and them so that they’d feel at ease. But more than anything, it had to do with the generosity of these two girls and the simplicity.
For a male director, directing two girls making love, I didn’t want to do it in a way where I’d be the archetype of the schmuck guy. But Dom was very generous also in making it easier. It was really interesting, and honestly, for me, it was a really interesting experience in learning of each other and how we can function in honesty, respect, and still be creative. It was a very intense moment that I will never forget, and maybe more than anything, just the four of us sitting in the conference room talking. The heart of it was when we discussed and conceived it.
Guys guys guys guys guys. Yo. I. I’m so fucking speechless. I am just now catching up on Wynonna Earp and everyone was talking about THE STAIRS. AND IM JUST NOW SEEING WHY EVERYONE WAS FREAKING THE FUCK OUT OVER THE STAIRS.
