1:48
Speaker 3: Special show for you today. Camp Rock is out.
1:51
Speaker 4: We are so excited to be introducing you to the
1:53
Speaker 4: new cast, the Camp Rock three.
1:55
Speaker 2: Oh oh oh no, this is dangerous. My soundboard is
1:59
Speaker 2: soundboard is camp camp Rockified. But let's back it all
2:01
Speaker 2: the way up real quick. Before we get right into
2:03
Speaker 2: Camp Rock three, let's go to where the journey began
2:06
Speaker 2: with Disney as a whole for us connector but more.
2:09
Speaker 3: Specifically with Camp Rock.
2:11
Speaker 5: Right.
2:12
Speaker 2: Okay, So to really paint the picture, we have to
2:15
Speaker 2: go all the way back to the year two thousand
2:17
Speaker 2: and six. We had just moved from New York, New
2:20
Speaker 2: Jersey area to Los Angeles and one of our big
2:23
Speaker 2: first meetings was right here in this town that we're
2:26
Speaker 2: in right now, in Burbank, at the Disney Channel building.
2:28
Speaker 2: And they would basically give us these scripts for fake
2:31
Speaker 2: shows that just had funny bits for us to do.
2:33
Speaker 2: And Kevin, you actually found, yeah, one of our og
2:36
Speaker 2: auditions for the Disney Channel, and for whatever reason, because
2:40
Speaker 2: the audition was not very good, Nope, they saw enough
2:42
Speaker 2: promise in us that they kind of kept us in
2:45
Speaker 2: mind for different projects. And I remember specifically, we're on
2:47
Speaker 2: tour in seven early two thousand and seven. We called
2:51
Speaker 2: it the Marvelous Party Tour, which is really great, great name,
2:57
Speaker 2: and we were playing at six flags across the country
3:00
Speaker 2: and our father said, Hey, Disney has this project that
3:02
Speaker 2: they're putting together. They hope it'll become like the next
3:05
Speaker 2: high school musical, and they like Joe to audition.
3:08
Speaker 3: And so with this camera it's called a flip vid. Well,
3:12
Speaker 3: they also asked, They said, the audition is one song
3:15
Speaker 3: of your choosing and a dance as well. I didn't
3:20
Speaker 3: say exactly what kind of dance. We really need to
3:22
Speaker 3: find this clip though. We gotta find it.
3:24
Speaker 2: Basically, the audition was was shot so poorly, and May
3:30
Speaker 2: thought I'll be crushed it.
3:30
Speaker 4: We used the lamp in the hotel room but turned
3:34
Speaker 4: it like this to hold it like this, so that
3:35
Speaker 4: the whole was like a spotlight.
3:37
Speaker 3: That's as good as we got.
3:39
Speaker 2: And to be honest, I was panicked that basically Joe
3:41
Speaker 2: was going to go do this movie, become a big
3:42
Speaker 2: star on his own, and then the band would be over.
3:46
Speaker 2: But our dad had a different idea. Basically, he called
3:48
Speaker 2: and said, exactly, if you want Joe to be in
3:51
Speaker 2: this movie, then you got to include Nick and Kevin
3:56
Speaker 2: in some way. And so they literally wrote in our
3:59
Speaker 2: two characters in Nate and.
4:00
Speaker 3: Shane happened to be the other change. What's your character's name, Jason? Jason.
4:06
Speaker 3: We still don't know to this day if we're brothers
4:08
Speaker 3: in the movie or not. In camp nobody knows.
4:11
Speaker 2: In two the credits, at the end of the first one,
4:14
Speaker 2: it just says Nate and Jason. Yeah, no last name,
4:17
Speaker 2: no last name, So we don't know to this day.
4:19
Speaker 2: I think we can assume that we're related in the
4:22
Speaker 2: In the film, I think, cousins, have you ever watched
4:26
Speaker 2: the first one, the camp Rock?
4:28
Speaker 3: Yeah? Have I watched it? No, you've watched it. Of course,
4:34
Speaker 3: we watched it at the premiere. I think I will
4:36
Speaker 3: love watching my own work. But we watched the premiere,
4:38
Speaker 3: I remember, I Yeah, it's a It's interesting that they
4:43
Speaker 3: watched the dance part knowing that I'm not the greatest dancer,
4:46
Speaker 3: and they're like, we're still going to hire you, and
4:48
Speaker 3: you're still going to do a dance number.
4:49
Speaker 4: They saw something start the party saw something.
4:53
Speaker 3: Yes, starts at the body.
4:56
Speaker 2: Well, anyway, cut to eighteen years later, and here we
4:59
Speaker 2: are really of Camp Rock three, which we produced alongside
5:03
Speaker 2: our friends over at Disney and really got to do
5:06

5:08
Speaker 2: which was putting together a group of absolutely you know,
5:14

8:36
Speaker 3: I was aware.

11:39
Speaker 9: acting world, and then like the musical stuff started happening.
11:42
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, shoot, does that mean that there's
11:44
Speaker 4: more independent music coming from you guys?
11:49

11:53
Speaker 7: working on my album, my first album. Okay, it's crazy crazy.
11:58

12:00
Speaker 9: also think I just like I trust God's playing, like
12:03
Speaker 9: that's all I can do. And like if I think
12:04
Speaker 9: there's something so special about giving everything to God and
12:07
Speaker 9: just trusting him with everything, so like what happens happens.
12:10
Speaker 3: You know what I mean. Cool, that's awesome, that's yeah,

12:14
Speaker 3: you then both of you.
12:17
Speaker 7: Exit.
12:17
Speaker 4: One thing you guys definitely can do better than we can, though,
12:19
Speaker 4: is dance.
12:20
Speaker 8: Oh okay, Yeah.
12:21
Speaker 3: It's very impressive in the film.
12:25
Speaker 8: That's so sweet. Yeah, Oh my gosh.
12:26
Speaker 7: The choreo for this movie, for Camp Brock three dude intense.
12:30
Speaker 8: Jamal was putting it going, like putting in extra hours.
12:33
Speaker 3: Process because ours was non existent.
12:35
Speaker 8: Our rearsal processes were very different. I mean mine, I
12:38
Speaker 8: was on tour. I was doing the world Big tour.
12:41
Speaker 3: That was happening last year. Yeah, I may have gone.
12:44
Speaker 8: You may have gone. I may have seen you tell.
12:46
Speaker 3: Everybody at home, and if they didn't, they don't know
12:47
Speaker 3: what you guys were talking about. What's the tour that
12:49
Speaker 3: you're talking about?
12:49
Speaker 8: Yeah, so I did.
12:50
Speaker 9: We're doing another tour together this coming summer and it's
12:53
Speaker 9: the World's Collide Tour.
12:54
Speaker 8: It's Descendants, Zombies and Camp Rock.
12:56
Speaker 9: That's this year. And then last year we did sen
13:00
Speaker 9: It's in zombies. But yeah, it was it was it
13:02
Speaker 9: was wild.
13:02
Speaker 3: Is it like zombies attack the camp and then like
13:06
Speaker 3: basically honestly like medieval Times a little bit, we're just.
13:11
Speaker 8: All battling on stage.
13:12
Speaker 2: We do need a Avengers style. I think Camp bractice
13:17
Speaker 2: in zombie movie.
13:18
Speaker 8: I think that would be sick Cross all like.
13:21
Speaker 2: But there's just one problem is that when you're in
13:23
Speaker 2: multiple franchises, we have to figure out a way to
13:25
Speaker 2: it's the multiverse.
13:27
Speaker 9: You know what if there was like a screenplay and
13:29
Speaker 9: it was like World's Glide and we had to do
13:30
Speaker 9: quick changes into different characters, that would be let's pitch.
13:33
Speaker 8: Let's pitch it.
13:34
Speaker 3: Come on, this is expensive, I know.
13:39
Speaker 8: At that Do you just have like the time of
13:40
Speaker 8: your life with that thing right there?
13:41
Speaker 3: I have just I was just like carry this stor
13:44

Speaker 3: these guys. Shane great for crying out loud.
14:04
Speaker 10: I like that a lot.
14:05
Speaker 8: I liked that a lot.
14:06
Speaker 2: Some drama, class drama we got off track for So
14:10
Speaker 2: you were rehearsing while you were on tour.
14:12
Speaker 3: Yeah, playing double duty.
14:13
Speaker 9: Yeah. They had hired one of the dancers that were
14:15
Speaker 9: on tour, and Jamal was sending all the choreos. I
14:17
Speaker 9: was because I was obviously on tour during pre production.
14:19
Speaker 9: I wasn't able to make it out until we literally
14:21
Speaker 9: started filming.
14:21
Speaker 4: So then I was like, well, we ran into each

19:54
Speaker 11: to face than screen to screen. Trust me. You know
19:58
Speaker 11: when I look out at all of you, all I
20:01
Speaker 11: can think about is all the talent that has come

Speaker 3: Summer will be no different.

Speaker 5: You have me producing Final Jam, which is like a
20:33
Speaker 5: billion tiny shows in one on a summer camp's budget.
20:35
Speaker 3: So we're pretty familiar with the Final chamis.
20:38
Speaker 5: Well, get ready for my final Jam.
20:40
Speaker 3: Lark? You let your hair down literally?
20:44

Speaker 3: Oh, come on, you're gonna miss this place, you know
20:55

20:58
Speaker 5: don't have time for this. I'm busy I'll see you later,
21:01
Speaker 5: don't be late.
21:02
Speaker 3: I saw that smile. Maybe fair enough, Probably not. How
21:07
Speaker 3: many bug bites.
21:09
Speaker 5: Are has never been more vulnerable mosquito bites.
21:14
Speaker 3: On your mosquito bites. It just looks so much like
21:17
Speaker 3: newer than Camp Rock. It just looks so much the
21:21
Speaker 3: first shot on a potato. I think, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
21:25
Speaker 3: And it's just funny to see now Camp Rock three.
21:28
Speaker 3: We were just saying while we're watching the first clip,
21:30
Speaker 3: taking away their cell phones it was never really a
21:31
Speaker 3: problem in Camp Rock one or two.
21:33
Speaker 11: No, Yeah, it's like camp is more important than ever
21:35
Speaker 11: now because that's where you make real connections and it's
21:40
Speaker 11: it's just a different time, a different world.
21:42
Speaker 3: So it really is.
21:43
Speaker 11: I love that that was in there, that we addressed
21:45
Speaker 11: that the importance of really relating and then they're disappointed,
21:48
Speaker 11: and then they're so happy at the end because they
21:50
Speaker 11: had real connection with real living people.
21:52
Speaker 5: Yeah, making memories.
21:53
Speaker 4: You know, do we actually take their phones away for
21:56
Speaker 4: the entire production?
21:56
Speaker 3: Though we did.
21:59
Speaker 5: Still guy, by the way, we haven't given it back yet.
22:03
Speaker 3: Y again. I guess for you, Maria like stepping back
22:06
Speaker 3: into a familiar role a new role, because I think
22:09
Speaker 3: we're just before you got out. We're trying to kind
22:11
Speaker 3: of understand you became the the person that runs Camp ro.
22:16
Speaker 11: That's right, Camp Director.
22:18
Speaker 3: I love that.
22:18
Speaker 11: I love that they gave me that arc that I
22:20
Speaker 11: started as a self sacrificing mom who wanted to make
22:24
Speaker 11: her her daughter's dreams come true and was willing to
22:26
Speaker 11: work in the kitchen and for a discounted rate. You're
22:29
Speaker 11: going to Camp Rock the famous line. And then I
22:32
Speaker 11: come back and we're still working. And then even though
22:35
Speaker 11: Mitchie is now a big superstar like Demi, she still
22:39
Speaker 11: cares about the place where dreams came true. It's not
22:42
Speaker 11: just about her kids. She wants to be there for
22:44
Speaker 11: other kids. That's so beautiful and I love as a
22:46
Speaker 11: real mom. I love to see other moms that love
22:49
Speaker 11: on all kids, not just their own. I always would
22:51
Speaker 11: notice that when a mom would love, support and encourage
22:55
Speaker 11: my child, it's just a beautiful thing. So I love
22:58
Speaker 11: that about Connie. I love being Connie.
23:01
Speaker 8: I love seeing you guys again.
23:03
Speaker 11: So I got a real.
23:04
Speaker 4: Scene you went there on day one, Like when we
23:06
Speaker 4: showed up and you were standing on the Final Jam
23:08
Speaker 4: Final Jam stage at on the Lake, it was just like, Okay.
23:12
Speaker 3: That was kind of emotional. I remember like it was weird,
23:15
Speaker 3: even though it was a different location. I mean, technically
23:17
Speaker 3: we shot the first one somewhere else, but it was
23:19
Speaker 3: like this wave of you know, after reading the script
23:22
Speaker 3: and being a part of the production, thinking of all
23:24
Speaker 3: the things we're gonna do, and meeting the cast, and
23:27
Speaker 3: then once we saw you up there, I was like,
23:29
Speaker 3: oh man, that was all brought back to us. It
23:32
Speaker 3: was really great and obviously so awesome Cherry. Having a
23:34
Speaker 3: part of this has been a blast. Yeah, and you know,
23:37
Speaker 3: every dysfunctional band needs a manager.
23:40
Speaker 5: Listen, Mark is hanging on by a thread. You know
23:42
Speaker 5: what I'm saying, She's two phones, two coffees. Am I
23:45
Speaker 5: even acting? But it was such a delight, honestly just
23:49
Speaker 5: playing with all of you, especially that first day, because
23:52
Speaker 5: right now people are craving that nostalgia. They want to
23:54
Speaker 5: feel good and then they want to go back to
23:56
Speaker 5: like a really just joyous time. And I feel like
24:00
Speaker 5: this movie is really going to deliver, and it's so cinematic,
24:03
Speaker 5: it's elevated. Ronica Rodriguez shout out to our director.
24:08
Speaker 3: Who you've been longtime friends with.
24:10
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, we met at Funnier die in twenty seventy.
24:13
Speaker 3: So that's how we actually got you, got I got it,
24:14
Speaker 3: got ye.
24:15
Speaker 5: No. But honestly, we've just been like creative soul sisters
24:18
Speaker 5: on this journey. So to be able to you know,
24:20
Speaker 5: come alive through Camp Rock three is a dream come true.
24:24
Speaker 11: I knew we were in good hands. Yeah, And when
24:26
Speaker 11: I saw you guys, the same thing happened to me
24:28
Speaker 11: where I got a little like because you're all daddy's
24:32
Speaker 11: now too, your dad, So I'm like, wait, these guys
24:34
Speaker 11: were teenagers and I and I noticed that we all
24:37
Speaker 11: have girls.
24:38
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're all girl dad.
24:40
Speaker 2: So far through the second movie, I think your your
24:44
Speaker 2: daughters were tiny, I mean were they were my daughter's
24:48
Speaker 2: age now I think.
24:49
Speaker 3: Yes, it's wild.
24:50
Speaker 11: Yeah, that was so And I remember how sweet you
24:52
Speaker 11: guys were to my little girls, who are now Bridges
24:55
Speaker 11: twenty three and Madeline's going to be twenty one, crazy
24:58
Speaker 11: and it's just wild. Were so sweet to them, not
25:02
Speaker 11: just their teen fans, but even their little fans.
25:05
Speaker 3: You you encouraged her and what.
25:07
Speaker 11: To sing because she's a singer. And I remember Bridget
25:11
Speaker 11: interrupted an interview you did, and.
25:12
Speaker 3: You were so sweet to her. You weren't like, who's
25:14
Speaker 3: this kid.
25:15
Speaker 11: In my way? He wasn't like that at all.
25:17
Speaker 3: He was like some character.
25:20
Speaker 11: Oh you were you were great for crying out loud,
25:23
Speaker 11: this is part of my act.
25:25
Speaker 3: Well, it's been so fun obviously to be to watch
25:27
Speaker 3: leaving this young new gen And I'm curious, like for you, Maria,
25:33
Speaker 3: like being on set, did you find yourself seeing any
25:36
Speaker 3: similarities to the original casts. Oh yeah, they were like,
25:39
Speaker 3: oh I see it. I see talent totally.
25:42
Speaker 11: I mean, if Disney knows something, it's how to find
25:45
Speaker 11: young talent. And it was us amazing, amazing, Yes, of
25:49
Speaker 11: course I see Demi and Leamani and.
25:51
Speaker 2: I saw.
25:54
Speaker 11: I think they actually had even more characters have their
25:56
Speaker 11: own little storyline thanks to Edie's script, which is terrific.
26:02
Speaker 11: And I love that because there's a little bit of
26:04
Speaker 11: something and every character that I think a lot of
26:06
Speaker 11: young people will identify with, you know, those those struggles
26:09
Speaker 11: that are so important to us during that developmental stage
26:13
Speaker 11: and everything matters so much.
26:14
Speaker 3: My crush, my career, right you know. Yeah, and uh I.
26:19
Speaker 5: Didn't reading my diary.
26:22
Speaker 9: Yeah.
26:23
Speaker 5: The dynamics now with the friendships and the chemistry, everyone
26:26
Speaker 5: is like we love each other honestly, did.
26:29
Speaker 11: You guys know when you did it how much it
26:33
Speaker 11: was going to be loved? Did you get a sense at.
26:35
Speaker 3: All that your big I think movie Break was going
26:37
Speaker 3: to be such a hit. I mean, we knew, we
26:39
Speaker 3: had no idea. I mean we obviously we were we
26:43
Speaker 3: were touring at the time. I mean when Camp ro
26:46
Speaker 3: was being made, kind of took a break from touring
26:48
Speaker 3: for the first time in a couple of years. And
26:51
Speaker 3: there wasn't as much social media when we first started
26:54
Speaker 3: with camp Rockpace, So it was just kind of bubbling
26:59
Speaker 3: in the States because Disney started playing our music videos
27:01
Speaker 3: and Diney Channel, and so by the time the movie
27:05
Speaker 3: came out, it was the reception was just wild, and
27:07
Speaker 3: it was an interesting like high school class because that
27:11
Speaker 3: was Zach and Vanessa in the high school musical cast.
27:15
Speaker 3: Zach and Cody was a popular show at the time.
27:18
Speaker 3: Trying to think there's and it's just there's so many great,
27:20
Speaker 3: kind of amazing vocalists and dancers and singers. It's really wild.
27:24
Speaker 3: So to answer your question, were we had no idea?
27:27
Speaker 11: No? Do you think that's why you guys were so
27:29
Speaker 11: good because you were so relaxed and having fun.
27:32
Speaker 3: I think we just didn't know what we were doing.
27:35
Speaker 3: We didn't any other way.
27:36
Speaker 2: I still don't, but I think, you know, the moment
27:39
Speaker 2: we kind of realized that Disney really understands how to
27:44
Speaker 2: how to to do a global event was after the
27:50
Speaker 2: second movie came out. We were we were touring in
27:52
Speaker 2: parts of the world where English wasn't the first language
27:55
Speaker 2: and they would know a majority of our songs as
27:56
Speaker 2: the Jonas Brothers, but when we would go into the
27:58
Speaker 2: camp Rock songs, the would know every single word because
28:01
Speaker 2: they've been, you know, learning English in a lot of
28:03
Speaker 2: ways because of it is so cool, or you know,
28:06
Speaker 2: just consuming it into different ways.
28:08
Speaker 3: And that was a really powerful thing for us. Yeah,
28:11
Speaker 3: that's how far the reaches.
28:12
Speaker 5: Yeah, camp Rock is a universal language. Seriously, Like you
28:15
Speaker 5: can feel the impact and even you know, going to
28:18
Speaker 5: your concert in Vancouver, oh so much to the fans
28:22
Speaker 5: and to see you three like operate with so much gratitude,
28:27
Speaker 5: and you know, it really was touching, touching the witness.
28:31
Speaker 3: It was a fun show.
28:34
Speaker 2: People don't know, listen, we're watching the pot We were
28:37
Speaker 2: shooting in Vancouver Camp Rock three, and and it just
28:40
Speaker 2: so happened that we also had a concert run that
28:41
Speaker 2: same time.
28:42
Speaker 5: In Vancouver.
28:45
Speaker 3: Appropriately, and that nine we had m G K Out especially,
28:49
Speaker 3: which was great. It's become just a great friend of ours.
28:53
Speaker 3: Had you been to a show before that, I have yours.
28:56
Speaker 5: I've been to Ara, I have not, and I highly
29:01
Speaker 5: recommend it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that was great the first timer,
29:06
Speaker 5: certainly not the last, but yeah, it was just so
29:09
Speaker 5: cool to see how highly anticipated this film is because
29:12
Speaker 5: y'all like did a little shout out when you're on
29:15
Speaker 5: stage and everyone went wild. And I even remember the
29:19
Speaker 5: first day when we were filming that that scene of
29:21
Speaker 5: Connie on the stage. There were fans like one hundred
29:26
Speaker 5: yards away that found out where we were filming, and
29:29
Speaker 5: I had no idea, but there were these videos of
29:32
Speaker 5: us like zoomed in, like super pixelated, and everyone thought
29:36
Speaker 5: I was Demi because of the dark hair videos and
29:40
Speaker 5: like people were like, it's Demi and Jonas brothers because
29:43
Speaker 5: I had a snatch phony and what an honor.
29:48

35:29
Speaker 13: everybody to see the movie and everything.
35:30
Speaker 3: So yeah, we're just finally Well, Leo me were reading
35:33
Speaker 3: this note and I I was so excited because we're like,
35:35
Speaker 3: we got to talk about this, so please talk about
35:37
Speaker 3: this jaguar experience because I'm reading this. Wow, we spent
35:41
Speaker 3: ten months in the jungles of Mexico bonding with the jaguars.
35:43
Speaker 12: That correct.
35:44
Speaker 13: Yeah, actually I was not expecting for that to be
35:47
Speaker 13: brought up here, but it's the first.
35:48
Speaker 3: Thing in my notes. And enough about cam Rock. That's
35:52
Speaker 3: so cool. Yeah.
35:54
Speaker 13: When I was like about thirteen years old, I did
35:57
Speaker 13: this movie called Autumn and the Black Jaguar, and I
36:01
Speaker 13: imprinted with these two jaguars and they were about this
36:04
Speaker 13: big when I met them, and I didn't really act
36:07
Speaker 13: for eight months. I kind of just stayed in the
36:09
Speaker 13: jungles of Mexico, and I trained with them and I
36:12
Speaker 13: acted as their like mother almost and I worked with
36:15
Speaker 13: animal wranglers and I got to watch them grow up
36:17
Speaker 13: and then finally when they hit about eight months, they
36:20
Speaker 13: were pretty much fully grown and we got to film
36:22
Speaker 13: the movie with them.
36:23
Speaker 8: Wow.
36:23
Speaker 3: So cool. Yeah, that's insane.
36:25
Speaker 13: Quite the experience and very different going to Disney after this,
36:29
Speaker 13: I would say, yeah, exactly, I had to train and
36:34
Speaker 13: wrangle these boys.
36:35
Speaker 3: So yeah, moving this way, Hudson. This is your first
36:38
Speaker 3: acting debut. Correct, It is a great kid, great job,
36:44
Speaker 3: thank you. Yeah, And I guess it's you're not that
36:48
Speaker 3: off like when it comes to acting in your family. Obviously,
36:51
Speaker 3: it's long, beautiful credits in front of you. What is
36:54
Speaker 3: that like me growing up at home? Do you ever
36:55
Speaker 3: think acting was gonna be something you'd walk into or
36:57
Speaker 3: is this kind of happened? It all just kind of happened.
37:00
Speaker 12: And I feel my parents they're both obviously my dad
37:04
Speaker 12: is in film and television, but just as himself and
37:06
Speaker 12: more reality stuff, and my mom's an incredible actor. But
37:09
Speaker 12: it was never set out for me to become an actor.
37:12
Speaker 12: I never even knew I wanted to do it. I
37:14
Speaker 12: just saw like people from her management agency. They were like,
37:18
Speaker 12: we'd love Hudson audition because I've always done music. I've
37:20
Speaker 12: always played the guitar, I've always sung. They're like, we
37:22
Speaker 12: wanted to audition for stuff and a lot of Disney musicals,
37:25
Speaker 12: and I was always like, Nah, not for me. I
37:26
Speaker 12: don't really want to. It's not really my style, not
37:29
Speaker 12: my thing. And then they sent over Camp Rock and
37:32
Speaker 12: like one other thing, and I'm like, oh, these are
37:33
Speaker 12: so cool. I remember I watched Camp Rock as a kid, like,
37:35
Speaker 12: you know, I'll audition for this one. I auditioned for
37:38
Speaker 12: three roles, Fletch, Cliff, and DESSI. I ended up with
37:42
Speaker 12: my old DESI. But yeah, it's pretty insane to be
37:45
Speaker 12: here at least a little over year. It's like three
37:48
Speaker 12: hundred and seventy days after this all started. But it's insane. Wow,
37:52
Speaker 12: And who's counting?
37:53
Speaker 3: That's cool, that's well, congrats, that's really exciting. And Casey,
37:57
Speaker 3: I guess you know you're no stranger to a stage. Yeah, right,
38:00
Speaker 3: tell us about that experience for you because you've done
38:02
Speaker 3: a lot of theater performances.
38:04
Speaker 8: Correct.
38:05
Speaker 10: Yeah, so back when I was around like four years old.
38:07
Speaker 10: I started drumming and I really fell in love with music,
38:10
Speaker 10: and I thought that was what I was gonna do
38:12
Speaker 10: for like my whole life. I was like, I'm gonna
38:14
Speaker 10: go on tour. I'm gonna be a drummer of a
38:16
Speaker 10: metal band. My dad got me into metal and that
38:19
Speaker 10: was one of my thing when I was a kid.
38:20
Speaker 3: Shout out, dad, I like that, what kind of metal?
38:23
Speaker 3: Any artists? You can say thing?
38:25
Speaker 10: I went my first concert. I went to Iron Maiden
38:28
Speaker 10: and I was six seven something like that. And then
38:34
Speaker 10: I went and saw a Slipknot and I saw Mu Suga,
38:38
Speaker 10: Swedish metal band.
38:39
Speaker 8: So great, My favorite drummer is part of them.
38:41
Speaker 4: Yeah, so you play the drums in this, in this,
38:43
Speaker 4: in this movie as well? Yeah, is that something that
38:46
Speaker 4: you've always had a passion for.
38:47
Speaker 10: I couldn't really like vision my life without it, Like
38:50
Speaker 10: I started playing. My dad actually before I was born,
38:54
Speaker 10: he bought a drum set because he's like, I need
38:56
Speaker 10: a hobby to pick up. So you bought this electric
38:58
Speaker 10: remode like drum kits. He bought this and over he
39:02
Speaker 10: didn't he never played it, but he had sticks there.
39:04
Speaker 10: And when I was two years old, I just picked
39:05
Speaker 10: them up started playing, and once I was four, I
39:08
Speaker 10: was playing with an instructor. And then at six I
39:12
Speaker 10: started playing shows like local shows, which brought me to
39:18
Speaker 10: like a nice band program in Vancouver where I got
39:20
Speaker 10: to tour around Vancouver and play a lot of really
39:22
Speaker 10: cool events. And that brought me to Camp Rock and
39:25
Speaker 10: to doing some community theater too.
39:26
Speaker 3: Yeah, very cool, so cool. It's amazing.
39:28
Speaker 2: Guys.
39:29
Speaker 3: Yeah you were you guys, were you in school during production?
39:33
Speaker 13: Yeah, well, we were doing online or homeschool, but we
39:37
Speaker 13: were all in school together.
39:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, because that was the thing when we were shooting
39:41
Speaker 2: our Camp Rocks. Back the day we were homeschool, we
39:44
Speaker 2: were touring, so we never really like studied with other people.
39:47
Speaker 2: And then I remember feeling so excited that I was
39:51
Speaker 2: suddenly in the classroom with all my castmates, actually doing school.
39:54
Speaker 3: And it's the only thing that made having to do
39:55
Speaker 3: school while you're working a positive experience, first experience for
39:58
Speaker 3: in a while for us.
39:59
Speaker 2: But by the second movie, I was already done with school,
40:02
Speaker 2: so I didn't I didn't to do that again. But
40:03
Speaker 2: you guys are all in the classroom together, then you're
40:05
Speaker 2: on set together. You had to become I think, pretty close,
40:08
Speaker 2: pretty fast, and it seemed at least observing from the
40:11
Speaker 2: time we were on set, like, you guys all genuinely
40:13
Speaker 2: got along and had a good rapport. What was that
40:15
Speaker 2: experience like, And are you guys staying in touch? Is
40:18
Speaker 2: the is the group chat staying alive?
40:21
Speaker 6: Yeah, the group chat. You were actually all on FaceTime
40:23
Speaker 6: this morning in the group chat. But I think school
40:26
Speaker 6: was like Okay, I'm so sorry, but I think.
40:34
Speaker 13: School was one of the places where we really bonded
40:36
Speaker 13: the most and where the least school work might have happened.
40:39
Speaker 10: I had to drop out of French because of school,
40:42
Speaker 10: Like I couldn't like, I couldn't keep up.
40:44
Speaker 3: It was crazy.
40:45
Speaker 6: We were just getting yelled at, I think for talking
40:47
Speaker 6: so much.
40:48
Speaker 3: But that happened making friends.
40:49
Speaker 6: It's fun. It's too fun.
40:52
Speaker 13: We're like shooting a scene and then two seconds later,
40:55
Speaker 13: like you guys got to go to school. I'm like,
40:56
Speaker 13: I'm still in the mode of camp rock and I
40:58
Speaker 13: don't want to be learning in that camp.
41:01
Speaker 3: Yeah.
41:01
Speaker 2: I mean, there was obviously a ton of music in
41:04
Speaker 2: the movie on top of school and acting. In the scenes,
41:06
Speaker 2: you guys had a pretty intense rehearsal schedule, and this
41:11
Speaker 2: is your first time singing and dancing and acting you
41:15
Speaker 2: know on screen? What were the dance rehearsals like stressful?
41:20
Speaker 2: Do you you guys enjoy that process.
41:22
Speaker 12: I have never danced before my entire life. I didn't
41:25
Speaker 12: know I was gonna dance going to Camp Rock.
41:27
Speaker 3: I had already.
41:28
Speaker 12: I already got it on the plane in my first day.
41:30
Speaker 12: They were like, you're gonna go to dance rehearsals tomorrow,
41:32
Speaker 12: And I was like, I think you're mistaken for somebody
41:35
Speaker 12: else in the cast because I don't. I don't like
41:37
Speaker 12: to dance, like that's not my thing. And I had
41:39
Speaker 12: to relearn how to play the piano alongside with that,
41:41
Speaker 12: and I had to kind of learn how to act
41:44
Speaker 12: and be in a movie and all this stuff at once.
41:46
Speaker 3: Kind of really got put into Camp Rock.
41:48
Speaker 12: Yeah, I probably to workshops. Yeah, it was, but I
41:53
Speaker 12: had a lot of fun. I was around really supportive
41:55
Speaker 12: people who helped me through it. Jamal and Kai, who
41:59
Speaker 12: are the choreographer is on Camp Rock. They killed it
42:01
Speaker 12: and I'm so thankful that they were there. I had
42:03
Speaker 12: a lot of fun.
42:04
Speaker 13: I think the prep was, honestly such a great experience
42:08
Speaker 13: for us, not just because obviously we have to prep
42:12
Speaker 13: for the movie doing dances, but I think getting thrown
42:14
Speaker 13: into such a huge project, we got to bond ahead
42:16
Speaker 13: of time and really get into the camp Rock mode
42:20
Speaker 13: before we actually had to shoot.
42:21
Speaker 6: So I think it was about a month of prep
42:22
Speaker 6: that we had.
42:23
Speaker 13: And yeah, I mean learning the dances was just so fun,
42:27
Speaker 13: got really in shape, I would say, I remember the
42:29
Speaker 13: first day.
42:30
Speaker 6: I think we had like dance rehearsals together. Yeah, And
42:32
Speaker 6: I remember I also had to learn how to play
42:34
Speaker 6: the cello, which was very challenging.
42:36
Speaker 3: But a lot to learn so quick too.
42:38
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, but it helped.
42:40
Speaker 13: Me get more into the mode of camp Rock and
42:42
Speaker 13: the mode of my character. So I'm really grateful for that.
42:45
Speaker 10: That's awesome, I think, Yeah, sam as Hudson, I never
42:48
Speaker 10: knew I was going to be dancing.
42:49
Speaker 8: I had an.
42:50
Speaker 10: Inkling of a feeling. I was like, maybe I'll dance,
42:53
Speaker 10: maybe we'll do something, but I'm going to be on
42:54
Speaker 10: the drums. And I came out of the studio, I swear,
42:58
Speaker 10: my driver goes, you're going a movement now, and.
43:00
Speaker 3: I said, what movement? Movement?
43:03
Speaker 10: Was that?
43:03
Speaker 8: What does that mean?
43:04
Speaker 10: And it was dance and I walk in there and
43:06
Speaker 10: I see a bunch of dancers I've seen all over
43:08
Speaker 10: my for You page and I'm I'm watching them go
43:11
Speaker 10: crazy and there's like freestyling happening, and I'm okay, so
43:15
Speaker 10: am I gonna watch? Am I gonna drum in the back?
43:18
Speaker 10: And they have me dancing right off the bat. But yeah, again,
43:20
Speaker 10: Jamal and Kai were so great. They helped us along
43:22
Speaker 10: the way, and yeah.
43:23
Speaker 3: I think that happened to us too. We showed up
43:25
Speaker 3: on day one and they're like, you want to.
43:26
Speaker 2: Movement and we are at each other like yeah, yeah, no,
43:30
Speaker 2: that's not gonna happen for you guys.
43:33
Speaker 3: All right, Well, so on the pod we do this
43:35
Speaker 3: little fun thing where we have everyone pull a question
43:38
Speaker 3: from the bowl. Questions of questions here that we don't
43:40
Speaker 3: there can't related, Would you guys be questions? Let me
43:45
Speaker 3: want you go first there, pass it down.
43:49
Speaker 6: It feels right.
43:54
Speaker 10: Which camp rock performance would you have wanted to be
43:57
Speaker 10: a part of?
43:58
Speaker 8: I think I read that right. I'd say Asta La Vista. Yeah,
44:03
Speaker 8: yeah that looks so.
44:04
Speaker 3: Fun, Yes, absolutely good fun. If you ran a camp?
44:08
