    aka the clips in which i always look at the people in the background
    that independence clip was a pain in the ass to split but i did it for y’all
    if i forgot anything, don’t @ me
    all clips (and my money!! literally!! i’m a backer!!) belong to starkid & the tin can brothers

      MariMarMakeup SFX When I watched the digital ticket version of TGTDLM I was familiar enough with the show by that point that all I did was keep my eyes on Joey whenever he was in view because his face expressions were gold every time. Whether he was admiring Show Stopping Number or whether he was pretending to not be interested in Charlotte's, "Sam didn't come home last night" story his face expressions and body posture/movements as Ted was a treat.

    I personally love doing background acting more than I love doing regular acting, it's much more improve-based, and it really helps you get to know your character. It's also my favorite thing to watch when I go and see a show, because some people just make it the funniest thing ever and I love it.
