Behind the Scenes of Episode 4 - Plus, Tips for Hot n' Heavy Scenes

Ask Audrey will be back next week - Audrey, like the rest of us, is busy basking in the afterglow of Episode 4, in which Simone FINALLY got some!

For the record, in the original script, Simone does actually meet Caramel Kiss in a club before bringing her home and getting it on.

But given our timeline (short) and budget (HA ha!), finding a club to shoot in that wouldn't look totally dork-acious seemed unlikely.

So THEN we thought we'd show the club part in snapshots before heading back to Simone's apartment for the main event. So we had our ace photographer, Kristin, take some photos of the girls meeting outside the club.

We learned some good lessons that night.

1. The flash is a harsh mistress.

2. It's hard to feel sexay when you're freezing your nips off.

3. Even though it's known to be the gayest street in all of Toronto, dudes on Church St. will still stop to watch and hoot enthusiastically if two chicks look like they MIGHT kiss. Thanks for keeping it classy, Church Street.

3. Vertically oriented shots are really hard to use in videos.

In the end, Team Simone opted not to use the photos and to cut right to the chase, as it were. And by "the chase", I mean, "the girl-on-girl action".

If you're shooting your own hot n' heavy lesbian scene in the future, we have some wisdom to impart there too.

1. Cast people who are cool and brave. Not everyone's idea of a fun night involves being filmed during a half-naked homo clinch. Weird - but true! Fortunately, Kiran and Renee are both cool and brave and totally went for it - and we all sat around and watched. HA ha! You guys are the best.

2. Pick the right lingerie. This was the hardest part of the job, for sure. "Could you...model that, Kiran? Okay, and now the other one?"

3. Choreography. Improv has its time and its place but choreography is always a must. Our director, Lisa, made it a threesome a few times as she demonstrated optimum making out positions.

4. Have a great crew. When you're shooting an intimate scene, it's pretty great to have a DoP who is kind and respectful and who doesn't yell stuff like "Bonerific!" or "Flick it!" Those things are only funny when the writer does it. And they are funny only to the writer.

5. Don't let the writer sit in the corner. See #4.

"Serendipity" - A Seeking Simone Extra

You know who takes shitty pictures? Rose. GOD, they're terrible. It's like children took the pictures. With their feet. While drunk. During an earthquake.

Fortunately, our wonderful stills photographer, Kristin Steger, took BEAUTIFUL pictures, not only of Renée with Q-tips up her nose, but also of Elisa's serendipitous reunion with her ex, Jackie, right after Simone shit-bombed their first date.

Of course, we could only use a handful of Kristin's shots in Episode 3, but they were SO gorgeous and they told such a touching story that we wanted to share them with you in a more fitting manner. Classy! And set to Stay Awhile by Paula Toledo!

And so we present Elisa & Jackie in Serendipity - a little Sapphic slideshow just for you. Enjoy!

Sadly, Kristin only took a few of our behind-the-scenes shots (you can tell which ones by how much they don't suck). But if you're interested in some more behind-the-scenes photos from Episode 3 (Hammertoes!!!!!!!)  and beyond, you can
