baneet. they/them. 23. multi-fandom sideblog. always thinking about “julie and the phantoms” [the tag “s: name x name” is used for platonic and romantic ships]

If they could make any advice to their characters, what would it be:
Jeremy to Reggie: Make that country album!
Owen to Alex: Take one day at a time and lean on your friends.
Madi to Julie: Girl, he's a ghost.
Favorite Song to film/record:
Owen -> Stand Tall
Jeremy -> Now or Never
Madi -> Finally Free
Favorite Outfit:
Owen: Zip pants & Hoodie
Jeremy: Leather jacket (it got customized to be more stretchy so he could move and jump around)
Madi: 'I got the music' outfit
(Owen and Jeremy both talked about how much freedom they got with the outfits. Kenny wanted them to feel comfortable in their clothes.)
Random stuff:
Jeremy jumped off the stage for the Now or Never scene so often his knee started hurting
During the rehearsal for 'This Band his back' Jeremy stumbled over Charlie's guitar while jumping on the chairs. He fell and cut his hand, so in the filmed version, Reggie has a band-aid on one of his fingers
The suits for Stand Tall cost over $3000
'Nothing to lose' got almost cut bc they didn't have enough budget to film it. But Kenny somehow made it happen.
Originally, Reggie was supposed to lose a shoe instead of his shirt. But nobody would have seen that, so they changed it to losing the shirt.
Most awkward moment: For the dinner scene, the guys had to hide in a tiny closet, and Jeremy and Owen were staring into each other's eyes.
They really tried to make a tour happen
Owen was terrified of filming 'All Eyes on Me'
Off-Topic: But during Jeremy's voice acting panel, Owen was hanging out in the audience to watch it.
She loved you, you know. You know, Leslie, she never had much luck making friends at her old school. We were hoping that when we moved out here she would. She said that if it wasn’t for you… Jess, you’re the best friend she’s ever had.
