secondtube Posted July 31, 2002 Report Share Posted July 31, 2002 quote:SHOWCASE: Since a lot of the dialogue is improvised, how do the plot mechanics get worked out, or is a lot of funny stuff devised on set on the spur of the moment? MC: There are wonderful things that are born on set that one could never write, and that happens when two actors engage and something occurs to them. And, thankfully, Showcase gives us the freedom to capture those moments because they know that that's a great gift to actors and writers to be able to improvise. We don't wildly improvise, though, we improvise specific things, carefully improvise. [The improvisation] adds to the realism of our show, which essentially parodies reality TV, such as COPS and Caught on Camera, which is the visual style of our show. By improvising it makes it appear as though all of our scenes only happen once and that we're capturing them with a live video camera, making it more like a mockumentary. interview w/ creater of TPB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouche Posted July 31, 2002 Report Share Posted July 31, 2002 That's a great little interview. I noticed that they have a couple of behind the scenes clips. I hope they come out with a clip show of those. Ricky would just be funny all the damn time! Anybody up for some sweet and powered chicken balls?

weezy Posted August 1, 2002 Report Share Posted August 1, 2002 so, if they're improvising, could it be called a 'jam-show'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
