It feels like you’re watching a ‘90s movie in parts of it. It also features lot of loveliness, first-date vibes by Max and Liz and some of the most gorgeous stuff we’ve ever shot with the sunset, horseback riding. It just puts Santa Fe, New Mexico, the stunning place we get to shoot, front and center.- Jeanine Mason on Sex & Candy
Echo + Lovely Longing Looks
TVGuide: Can you real quick walk me through how you achieve those lovely, longing looks?
Nathan Parsons: Well, I mean just look at her. It’s the easiest thing to do in the world with her.
Jeanine Mason: Honestly, I feel like he does all the work. I just sort of stand there and then he’s like, and I’m like, “OK, great! This is working.”
Jeanine: We started with this sort of magic hour.
Nathan: Day one or day two.
Carina: Day one, it was like pretend you're in love and you've been in love for 10 years, go!
Nathan: It's nice to meet you.
Jeanine: Epic romance, go.
Jeanine: It was amazing. We were shooting in New Mexico which is also a character in the show, stunning.
Nathan: That was half of it right there. It was just New Mexico.
Jeanine: We had like our little video village tent... and they were far off, but not that far off and we could hear them and we’re in the middle of a take.
Nathan: They were pretty far off they were just really loud.
Carina: So they (Max and Liz) come out of a cave, they're on a side of a mountain, and we're shooting an almost kiss at sunset, where I'm not kidding you our DP is making the flare from the sun go from her mouth to his mouth. They're not kissing but the sun is making them kiss, these two are just trying to not breath on each other weird, like they're just trying to keep their shit together, and we are screaming in video village, like OH MY GOD, and they're like ‘guys can we just do our jobs?’
Jeanine: No honestly, we didn't know whether it was good screams or bad screams.
Nathan: We thought we were doing a terrible job.
Jeanine: Should we just stop. We suck, we suck, we should just call it and try again before the sun goes down. We had no idea.
SDCC 2018 Panel - Carina MacKenzie, Jeanine Mason and Nathan Dean Parsons talk about the first day on set
Jeanine: My favorite moment had to be, I think it was our, second day of shooting the pilot we had this moment where Liz and Max are on this gorgeous mesa and the vista is just so beautiful and the sun is setting and Julie was directing it and she knew exactly what she wanted. And I'll never forget the moment she got it, 'cause video village was just an arm's length away from us, I mean in the moment when you're watching it seems so private but they were just over there and we're, you know, looking into each other's eyes like epic small-town romance and they're like RAAAAAAAH in the distance and Nathan, you know, at that point you can sort of see in the back, I mean he was with me here, but in the back of his head, both of us, were going was that a good scream or bad scream?
Nathan: Are we doing okay?
Jeanine: Do we have a pilot or did we just suck so royally? And that was just such a special moment. I mean it was awesome and Daryl and Justin from Amblin were there that day and it just sort of felt like the first moment where I went, ‘we have a show.’ So thrilling.
