Brad Buecker describes the filming of the first Klaine kiss.
Today on podcast, “and that’s what you really missed”, they had Brad Buecker, who directed many episodes, including Original song.
Kevin to Brad: Do you have any favorite scenes or numbers that you to to either direct of edit.
Brad: I mean, i honestly, truthfully, it was like I went into every scene like I want to fall in love with his scene....
....so when they were going to do the first kiss between Blaine and Kurt, OK, we went into rehearse and I said to Darren, I was like, you know, Darren, like I remember my first kisses very well. And I remember always having a plan as to how I was going to do it or where I was going to stand. And it just, they never worked out.
So when you come over to sit down, I think you should scoot your chair all the way over next to him and sit. And he was like, Oh No I would never do that. I want to sit here...they were literally like 6 feet apart. And i was like, ok, great, ok got it.
I turned around and I just said to Chris Buffa, light the whole room and get 3 cameras. This is going to be great. Because i knew he couldn't possibly kiss him from there, right? And i just, I didn't say another word. I was like, you know what, we're done. We're not going to rehearse anymore. Let's just go away, turn the cameras on.
And it's like when he's sitting there, you can see this moment where he realizes he can't possibly get there, right? And so he has to get up and sort of awkwardly move around the table and like lean.. And it was like, it felt so honest.
It was just like we're done, yeah, yeah, yeah. Got it. That's it.
