Behind the Scenes Of Disney’s New Gamer’s Guide to Pretty Much Everything

July 15, 2015 by Momstart 1 Comment

Disney’s New Gamer’s Guide to Pretty Much Everything premieres July 22nd at 9:30pm ET/PT on Disney XD!! My kids are excited about this show coming on soon. I was lucky enough to go behind the scenes a few weeks ago. Then I was able to see the set, meet the characters and watch a network run through. The set is a long side of sets, different rooms side by side and then on the other side is another set of sets side by side. But before we take a look at the set photos let’s meet the characters.

Cameron Boyce as Conor       Murray Wyatt Rundus as Wendell Felix Avitia as Franklin Sophie Reynolds as Ashley

 

The subcultures of high school and professional video gaming are merged in the sitcom “Gamer’s Guide to Pretty Much Everything” starring Cameron Boyce (Disney Channel’s “Jessie” and “Descendants”) as a 15-year-old video game-playing phenomenon who enrolls in public high school for the first time.  Now, he must deploy his virtual gaming acumen to circumvent real-life challenges.
Cool and charismatic Conor gains notoriety as the ace game player “KidFury,” but he suffers a devastating thumb injury that forces him off the high-flying professional gaming circuit.  After years of being privately tutored, Conor enrolls in public school, Mondale High, for the first time and meets three fellow gamers – Franklin, Wendell and Ashley who help him for form the school’s first-ever gaming league.

The series captures the fun spirit of the gaming culture by weaving digital graphics (“Game Over” and “Achievement Unlocked”) into the stories.  Video games come to life onscreen during “gamer vision” sequences that depict alternate realities whenever the characters face particularly challenging situations.

Also starring are Murray Wyatt Rundus as the overly-confident but lovable Wendell; Felix Avitia as the gamer-groupie Franklin; and Sophie Reynolds as the quirky and fun Ashley.

I play Conner – he was a professional gamer. He did all these tours, went to Tokyo and London and all these places doing these professional tournaments. In the midst of a tournament, he breaks his thumb, which is kind of what you need to game. So, Conner has to basically be a regular kid now. He was home schooled and other stuff to do his gaming, and his mom tells him ‘okay, well you’re going to go to regular school.’ Conor doesn’t really know how to be a regular kid, so he goes and he makes some friends, but he tries to use them at first to get back on the tour where he thinks he belongs. Then eventually he realizes that he kind of likes having these guys around. Instead of going on the solo gaming tour, he chooses to keep these guys around and go on the team tour. – Cameron Boyce

I play Ashley and she’s the girl  that hangs with the guys. She’s not always the smartest with the books, but she’s got a really good heart and, she’s just a good friend. She’s a great gamer, super-smart gamer and that’s her strength. – Sophie Reynolds

139157_1592

I play Franklin and he’s very positive, very energetic. He’s not the best gamer like these guys who grew up like that, but he really wants to be. He wants to fit in with people and he wants to be a part of the group. He’s very smart though, outside of the gaming world. He knows common sense and knows he loves school and, of course, he’s got a great sense of fashion. Always wearing ties and shoes and pants and shirts. He’s just a good kid and he wants to make everybody as happy as they can be all the time. That’s what I love about him. – Felix Avitia

139157_1843

 

I play Wendell and he’s very, very full of himself. He is a very cocky character. He believes everyone around him doesn’t know what’s really going on, and that he is really the mastermind of everything that’s going on. He’s very aggressive when he plays video games with the crew and that really describes him. – Murray Wyatt Rundus

We briefly spoke with them about the show. They seem like they are having a blast working together. And who doesn’t like playing video games at their age? Cameron was asked about his transition from Jessie to this show and I remember him saying that the schedule is different but the actors became an instant family. And after watching them work together in the network run through I could see how well they all get along.

Here are some fun shots from the set, when you sit down with your family and watch this show see if you can find each of these items.

Going To The #AntManEvent, #DescendantsEvent, #LivAndMaddieEvent, #GamersGuideEvent and #BUNKDEvent

June 21, 2015 by Momstart Leave a Comment

On Thursday I’m going to be on my way to the #AntManEvent, #DescendantsEvent, #LivAndMaddieEvent, #GamersGuideEvent and #BUNKDEvent. I’m super excited about it because it’s going to be a full week of Ant-man around here. I’m starting off tomorrow with set visit interviews and experiences and never before seen photos. Then while you are reading my last two interviews you can also follow along with the press trip in LA. We will be seeing the movie and interviewing quite a few actors.

imageOn the list are:

Michael Douglas (“Hank Pym”)

Paul Rudd (“Scott Lang / Ant-Man”) & Evangeline Lilly (“Hope Van Dyne” – @EvangelineLilly)

Corey Stoll (“Darren Cross / Yellowjacket”)

Michael Pena (“Luis” – @realmichaelpena), T.I. (“Dave” – @Tip) & David Dastmalchian (“Kurt” – @Dastmalchian)

and Director Peyton Reed – @MrPeytonReed

We will also be learning about some great new features coming out on the Disney channel. I’ve been seeing some of the previews and the one I’m really looking forward to is Descendants.

clip_image001

In present-day Auradon, Ben, the teenaged son of King “Beast” and Queen Belle, is poised to take the throne. He offers a chance for redemption to the trouble-making teenaged descendants of defeated villains exiled to the remote Isle of the Lost. The villains’ descendants have been granted permission to attend prep school in the kingdom with the Disney heroes’ kids.

There we will have a Q+A with Director Kenny Ortega

Then we will be watching clips from BUNK’D and Gamer’s Guide To Pretty Much Everything.

About BUNK’D

Emma, Ravi, and Zuri Ross head off to a rustic summer camp in Maine, where their parents met as teens. Along with their new friends, the trio tries their best to settle into their exciting new lives at Camp Kikiwaka.

About Gamer’s Guide To Pretty Much Everything

clip_image001[7]

Follows professional teenage video gamer, Conor, who is forced to go to high school for the first time, after a thumb injury. Coping with his new lifestyle, he focuses on friendships and visualizes life as a video game.

And if that wasn’t enough, we have a set visit to both of them and to Liv & Maddie another very popular Disney show.
