At the core of NBC’s Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist are the “heart songs,” which reveal a character’s inner emotions — and can be seen and heard only by Zoey (Jane Levy…
For me, it was always the heart songs — to do them with the right intent. That was hard because every director had a different vision for what that was. So I think Austin, Mandy and I really tried to keep that together. What about you, Mandy?I would 100 percent agree. I think the volume of creation when it came to choreography for my department was definitely difficult, but I knew that going in.
Jane Levy stars in Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist, which earned Moore an Emmy for outstanding choreography in 2020.So how would you work with a director who you felt wasn’t really understanding how to make the heart songs work?As a DP, it’s really challenging because you have to protect the show, but with grace. You also have to say yes to the director. Every director has a different vision and a different ego, right? I feel like television directors are the most inconsistent in hiring.
After COVID-19 hit, you two quarantined together in Vancouver before you could go back into production. What was that like?So Shasta and I got called up to direct, and Shasta’s episode was right after we got out of quarantine. And, if I remember correctly, Shasta, we both looked at each other before we left for holiday break and I was like, “OK, let’s quarantine together because then we’ll get some real time together.
With such complicated musical numbers in every episode and an intense production schedule, how do you work best with the actors?Well, I get the lovely task of coaching them through something that none of them have grown up doing, and it is one of the most beautiful experiences of my life. From day one, we set a standard: “You’re going to come to rehearsal, you’re going to love it, you’re going to trust us, and we’re going to make magic.
I appreciate that and I take that very seriously because none of them are dancers and they’re putting themselves out there in a way that is not something they’re comfortable with at all — so I get to see all their neuroses and their insecurities. To see them evolve from, “I don’t know if I can do this,” to, “I’m shooting this in a one-take and it’s going to be on national television,” is really a special process.
