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

139157_1328

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.

Star Wars Rebels Interview: Freddie Prinze Jr. Loves Being Part of Star Wars

October 3, 2014 by Momstart Leave a Comment

I have been super excited about Star Wars Rebels. My kids watch the Disney Channel all the time and the previews are super enticing to them. Every time they see it they start yelling at me that they have to watch it. They don’t want me to forget to record it and neither do I. This is going to be a great series that the whole family can watch together. It’s a cartoon series that Star Wars fans will love. While in LA last week I had the opportunity to sit down with Freddie Prinze Jr. who plays Kanan, and the Producer Dave Filoni. Here is their interview.

star wars rebels interview

Q: Star Wars is such a legacy, a huge franchise.  How did it feel to be a part of that?

Freddie:  I didn’t know it was Star Wars.  It was titled Wolf Pack.  And you’ll have to speak to him about that.  But uh, I went in and I saw some Character breakdowns on the wall at Disney and I looked at them and I’m thinking, these guys are either ripping off Star Wars real bad or this is a Star Wars thing.  And uh, there was another girl in the waiting room and she was reading for Tia — for Tia’s character and she looked super nervous.  And when she came out of the room, it was like this is definitely Star Wars.  So I asked them and I think I said a word that I shouldn’t say, this first table run.  I said is this bleeping Star Wars?  And then — and then he kind of sits back, he sits back there, he sits back and he kind of like nods his head all cool and I was like “All right, give me a second”.  I’ve got to turn around and compose myself and then get prepared.  Instead of a Light Sabre, I had a Sun Sword, which Thunder the Barbarian had from Hanna Barbera.  Remember that?

Dave:  That’s good knowledge.

Freddie:  But they ripped off Star Wars.  They even had their Wookie.  They had Klan, right?  That was the Wookie that Princess Ariel, Princess Leah but she had Manly–Sorry, (he’s laughing)  My ’80s Cartoon Knowledge is on point.

image

What made you want to do this?

Dave:  Well you know, we were kind of wrapping up the Series, Clone Wars with the big Disney purchase, it was time for a change and fans, you know, felt very strongly about the show.  In all honesty, it just felt like something that we probably shouldn’t continue without George (Lucas).  It was just a part of him and his creation and working with him was like no other experience I’ve ever had.  So we wanted to come up with something new that represented this kind of new era of Star Wars and working with Lucas Films Story team, we all quickly came up with the idea of Star Wars Rebels, the story team introduced the idea to make an A-Team like scenario and it just makes sense.

 

 

Talk about the strong female characters in Star Wars Rebels.

Dave:  Yeah, I think that, I mean, it’s a strange word to use but like it’s just a necessity.  I think most Creatives you speak to right now would say that if they had  a choice to tell a story, they would use a female lead.  I think some people feel that the stories have been told with the guys, you know. 

Freddie:  I was gonna say, Clone Wars is a good example where we can show good and evil, strong, powerful women at a young age to a more young adult age as far as young female protagonists.  They did Clone Wars big time, both good and evil.

Dave:  Yeah, so we didn’t want to repeat Luke so we did Soka.  And then we did Ezra cause we didn’t want a repeat of Soka, so instead we made the women characters ones that didn’t have the force, ones that could be tough on their own.  So when we direct like Hara, I say, I want you to say and be and do any of the lines you would have given Hans Solo.  I don’t want you to change them in any way.  You know, I want this character as  being one that would react like Clint Eastwood when he got shot.  Don’t make her, don’t diminish in any way or color it any way that you think has traditionally been.  You see, I get schooled on this on a daily basis at home by my wife and honestly, she’s a way better storyteller than I am.

Freddie:  And just because Leah is in a dress, don’t trip.  She’s tougher than the guys in all 3 Movies.  So I mean a dress doesn’t–You all are in dresses.  I’m sure some of you can move on us.  That existed in the Star Wars World long, long ago.

Dave:  It’s got to be more about your spirit, your integrity, your emotions as a character, more than anything superficial so that’s what we try to work with.  And like I said, my wife is definitely the hugest influence for me there.  If I’ve been successful at all creating female characters, it’s because of her absolutely.

image

Talk about the Casting process.

Dave:  Oh it went so fast.  We made this show very quick, because we wanted to film in the time prior to Episode 7.  You know, that’s gonna be this thunderous amazing thing!  But it was gonna take time to produce so we wanted to get an animated series up ahead to kind of get kids up and going with Star Wars and in this new world and so it was one of the big challenges when we were sold.  So it was gonna be very hard to cast quickly and my feelings was that you just, you know the right people when you hear them, when you see them.  So we met everybody when they came in and we just brought in a group of people and pretty much without fail, Simon Kinberg, Greg Weisman and I always would give high marks to the same people.  We’ve been so lucky that creatively, we’ve all collaborated really well with Lucas Film.  And we’ve all pretty much agreed on the decisions.  It’s really rare, so we would pick our top people and we were like wow, I agree, I heard he is really good.  I like to judge things, you can be really talented but if you’re not a good person, if you’re not gonna be collaborative, then I don’t want to work with you.  Talent’s not gonna outweigh that.  I think that’s the important thing for young people.  If you’re really talented and you’re arrogant, I don’t want to work with you.  I want somebody who’s hard working.  You know, right?

Freddie:  Green.

Dave:  You know, when I went to play hockey growing up, you know, my coach always appreciated the kids that put in the work, not just the talented kids.  You know, you got to work for things.  And we got to work hard together to prove.  We got to get along really well.  And these guys have to become these characters.  So it’s really worked out.  I can see a lot of people might have the acting chops but you have the personality plus all the fans, the Star Wars Fans, I think an important part of being an actor in Star Wars is you have to accept the exposure to our fans and I want you to treat them with respect cause they’ll treat you with respect for the most part.  I mean, they’ve all been great.

Freddie:  For the most part.

Dave:  You passed the test.

Freddie:  There have been a few though.

Dave:  Vision, to me Freddie’s kind of like a Star Wars goal, he gets it.  He gets the attitude.  He gets the kind of way that–You get the swagger, my friend.  That kind of Hans Solo thing.

image

Freddie: It’s a generation thing though like it’s a genetic thing when you’re around our age like it’s just, you know, that was back when wrestling was real.  That was back when the news told the truth.  So it’s just, it’s ingrained and it’s a part of you so you know, you read lines and I’m literally, like before I even talked to him like I know exactly how he wants me to say that because I remember this from “Empire Strikes Back” when they’re–You know what I mean and like you just get the vibe of who you’re kind of summoning as you’re sort of figuring out who this–who this sort of Rebel Jedi is.

 

Cause he’s not the normal Jedi.  He’s not together.  He doesn’t have it all figured out.  He has maybe 3 answers.  Forget all the answers and then two of them, he’s guessing on.  You’ll literally see him sort of BS Ezra on some of these horse things that something like Master Yoda would be like, you know, there is no try, there’s only do.  Where’s–Kanan will be like give me your best shot.  (Laughing)  You’re not supposed to do that.  I mean, you know what I mean?  He makes mistakes cause he was young and he didn’t get to complete his training in the way that an Anakin or the way that Luke could, you know what I mean?  He’s not the master that Ezra, you know, that a kid sees.  Growing up without a father like Ezra, you put certain men in your life on a pedestal.  And they become something to you.  They become something special and spiritual and powerful.  And it’s not fair to do to them by the way because they’re just men, right?  They’re gonna have mistakes, they’re gonna get sick, they’re gonna cheat on their wives, they’re gonna do whatever it is they do that’s gonna destroy that image you have and make you angry at them, even though you projected that on them.  And so they get to have that type of a relationship and you can really see it from Jump Street.  You can see Kanan kind of resist, and you can see him get sucked in because the way Taylor plays Ezra is, he may be a smart alleck but he knows how to  show you vulnerability and–and that’s what kind of gets me.

We read together like we’re in the room at the same time.  It’s a very collaborative process.  It’s very Breakfast Clubby, you know what I mean, like we do everything in order.  It is, they shot that movie like a play basically.  The scenes in the beginning and end were the only things they shot out of order.  The rest of that Movie was all together and that’s–that’s kind of how we record.  You know what I mean, unless we got a big dog and we got to shoot out there.

image

How did you get this role?

Freddie:  It’s weird.  I’ve taken a step back from acting when we had kids and I didn’t want to leave Los Angeles anymore.  I wanted to be present.  Since they shoot don’t anything in Los Angeles, that was sort of that.  And so it became very easy to not work and I was starting to get kind of creatively antsy and I did a couple of voices on video games which these days are way more drawn out than Mario Bros.  You know what I mean?  You do a voice for Mario and it’s like ‘Hey look at me.’  Then you work on a video game today and it’s 6 months worth of work.  And I really started getting hungry and those acting juices started flowing again.  And when this script came around, you have to remember, I didn’t know that it was “Star Wars.”  So I wasn’t that excited.  I was like these guys are ripping this off.  This isn’t even, you know what I mean, like it’s not that good.  A Sun Sword?  That’s not cool, you know.  So you’re not hyped up and then it wasn’t until I read, I didn’t know if I–if I booked it.  I know I did a good job.  And so you know, you kind of dissociate cause you don’t want to be like yes.  And then like no, no.  So you know, you wait, you wait, and then I heard that I got it.  And it’s just this very surreal moment, you know.  And I’m sure it was different for Vanessa, for Steve, certainly for Taylor, Arden.  We’re generationally so far apart.  For me, I mean, I slipped down the slide when I was 4 years old with a broken flagpole cause I was Luke and my cousin was Darth Vader.  I have to be specific, there are so many Darths now.  Back then it was only this.  But you know, the pole hit the ground first and it stuck in my chin and my mom ran out and my chin blew out.  And you know, she flipped and threw me in the car and took me to the hospital and they stitched this little scar I have back here.  I had 16 and it looked like I had a little Goatee and I was only 4.  And so you know, those, all those images start racing back through your head and you’re reading dialogue, you know, telling a kid, come with me.  Come learn the ways of the forest, you know what I mean?  (laughing)  From 4 years old to 38 years old, I mean, come on, it’s easy to know that I really care about this.

Do you have a real Light Sabre?

Freddie:  A real Light Sabre?  When do I get my real Light Saber? (turning to Dave)

Dave:  No, you’re not ready for that.

The half-hour series will premiere on Disney XD MONDAY, OCTOBER 13 (9:00 p.m., ET/PT).

 

Our family is super excited and we have it scheduled to record.

Another Sneak Peek at LeapTV #LeapTV

August 28, 2014 by Momstart Leave a Comment

This is a partnered post with MomSelect, all opinions are my own.

I love all the LeapFrog products. We have been using LeapFrog DVD’s since the kids were babies. Then we moved to the LeapFrog devices and there are so many that we have and my kids still love using them. We’ll be working with them and trying out their new children’s activity bracelets next month. I’m super excited, but for now I want to share with you LeapTV.

leaptv

Kids need to get some activity in their lives, even when all they want to do is watch TV. And as parents we hate to use the TV as a baby sitter to get a few things done but sometimes, it has to be done. LeapTV has an answer to get minds and bodies moving it’s called LeapTV!

New Netflix Addiction: House of Cards #StreamTeam

June 25, 2014 by Momstart Leave a Comment

I haven’t been getting enough sleep this month because of our Netflix addictions. We watched Orange is the New Black and finished that in two nights and now we’re zooming through House of Cards.

image

About House of Cards:

Bad, for a greater good.

Three Emmy Award wins including David Fincher ("The Social Network") for Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series and nine nominations including Outstanding Drama Series went to this acclaimed political thriller. Lead Actor nominee Kevin Spacey stars as ruthless, cunning Congressman Francis Underwood, who will stop at nothing to conquer the halls of power in Washington D.C. His secret weapon: his gorgeous, ambitious, and equally conniving wife Claire (Lead Actress nominee Robin Wright).

You’re pulled in right from the start with Kevin Spacey’s unnervingly bad character, he’s such a great actor and plays such a bad guy with deplorable moral and yet I can’t turn my eyes away. It’s like a train wreck you just can’t look away. It’s like that car accident on the highway that slows down traffic to a halt and you’re cursing as you drive up to it but you can’t help and look as you drive by. That’s how House of Cards works. The episode we watched last night where he kills another congressman and makes it look like a suicide, I was like did he really just do that? Yep, he did and that’s what brought his wife back to him. His wife that had been staying in another man’s apartment for the best few weeks. They seem to have a great relationship and yet they use each other as much as they use everyone else in DC.

Netflix really knows how to make TV good. I hope we don’t have to wait too long for another season. I mean yes we’re just starting House of Cards Season two but I know we’ll be through with it within another week. I really do love Netflix.

It’s Martha Speaks Weeketh: All New Episodes Start Monday

June 14, 2014 by Momstart Leave a Comment

June 16, that’s Monday, PBS KIDS and WGBH will be airing three all-new episodes of MARTHA SPEAKS during “Martha Speaketh Weeketh!” This week, you can watch your favorite talking dog, (My kids love Martha Speaks) she’s more than a talking dog she’s a canine linguist. We received a screener of a few episodes and some books. My kids go nuts over books. The books are already in their rooms and I’m pretty sure Zoe read them all very quickly. She’s such a super reader.

 

IMG_2007

The fun continues online with the brand new game, Martha’s Steaks. Children learn vocabulary as they make Martha’s furry friends hurdle, dash, soar, and tumble to catch treats through Martha’s dream-landscape of steaks, bacon, and drumsticks!

Thinking about when my kids first started watching the show they really thought if you could feed a dog alphabet soup it would start talking. I wonder how many kids in America tried feeding their dogs an alphabet.

Visit to The Set of ABC’s Mistresses And Tonight’s Episode!

June 9, 2014 by Momstart 1 Comment

A few months ago I was in LA on the set of Mistresses. I love visiting the sets because it’s so crazy how small they are sometimes, and you can’t imagine how they fit the cameras and extra lighting into these small places and make them look big. One of the places we visited was Savi’s house and if you watched the season premiere last week you know they are selling it. It’s so sad to me when I see a marriage that didn’t work out, and we have no idea what happened to her baby. I mean we assume she lost it right but how, what happened in the hospital, did her husband make a choice between her and her baby to save her life and she can’t forgive him? That’s my guess!

They had such a beautiful house.

IMG_1632IMG_1631

We also saw April’s store,

IMG_1605IMG_1609IMG_1610IMG_1613IMG_1618IMG_1611

The set of April’s store was really quite large. There were two different rooms and there was so much space in the main floor of her store. And the items chosen for her store, can I just say wow. I love boutique type shops. We also saw April’s house.

We saw a few other things as well but I’m not ready to divulge all the secrets of this season to you.

Some Mistresses Fashion Hints & Tweet Along Tonight #ABCTV #Mistresses

June 2, 2014 by Momstart Leave a Comment

This year the characters in Mistresses are going to be as hot and sexy as ever. Don’t think that a near death experience is going to hold Savi or any of the other characters back for a second because it won’t. I had the opportunity to get an inside scoop into some of the fashion going to be worn on the first episode of this season airing tonight.

IMG_1583Roemehl Hawkins the costume designer was talking to us about a color she used the "color of the season" (Radiant Orchid) in Joss’ outfit in the Mistresses S2. Since I had no idea what that meant, I assume you guys don’t either. Here is a chart of those color hues.
