strangely enough that it smelled like cheese [Applause] [Music] much like her character Lily who says she was born with gills like a fish Hana Mei leaves nickname growing up was fish lips she said kids would call her that because the top of her lips go upward the cast participated in a month-long singing and dancing bootcamp to prepare themselves for the movie the producers brought down the cast to Baton Rouge a month before filming so they could learn every dance move and song perfectly although never working together before the movie anna kendrick and skylar astin share a connection with the prestigious performing arts camp stage-door Manor in upstate New York Astin attended the camp for multiple years and appeared in the documentary Stage Door and Kendrick starred in camp which was based on and filmed at stage-door Manor the riff-off scene originally had 17 songs instead of 8 screenwriter kay cannon soon realized that that many songs would never fit in the film's budget the scene was shot at 3 in the morning and an old empty outdoor pool in the middle of winter skylar astin told movie Viral there were no places to keep cast members chairs or to keep warm so we bonded a lot that night baby got him moping all over town strictly [ __ ] you don't play around cover much ground got game by the pound the storyline between bumper and fat amy was not in the script Adam Devine and rebel Wilson would improvise during their scenes together and Adam would often try to kiss her this led to Adam and Wilson to create a backstory for their two characters and their relationships okay he said no but you winked so that's a no then 100% no Aston was cast in the film because the producers were looking for someone who had a John Cusack vibe according to producer max Handelman they wanted awkward but not a geek but not so cool that you're not rooting for him I think they nailed it you're one of those a cappella girls i'm one of those a cappella boys and we're

were filmed on LSU's campus the turnoff for the screening was so great that only a little more than half of the students in line got in to see the movie the producers saw that there were more students wanting to see the film and allowed a second showing immediately following the first that way everyone could have a chance to see the movie this is the second collaboration between Elizabeth Banks and John Michael Higgins the first being Fred Claus in 2007 where they played elves together Esther Dean's character Cynthia Rose is named after a child mentioned in the prince song starfish and coffee

voter not Vader however Vader does mean father in Dutch despite all playing college-age students rebel Wilson and a camp in Adam Devine were all at least eight years older than their co-stars the German dance members went through a two-week boot camp to get in shape for the movie they did it not just to learn the dance choreography but to also get the stamina to do the scenes over and over again the pitch perfect movies often have songs that haven't even been released to the public yet they want the movies to be as up-to-date in the music world as possible so they will request unreleased songs from singers to put into the movies that's why whenever a pitch-perfect movie comes out it always has the best new music Kay cannon the writer of the movies said in an interview that fat Amy getting hit with a burrito was inspired by an incident that happened to her in real life she told Collider that when she was in college she was jogging with her boyfriend at the time when a

on her tour commitments at the time Anna Kendrick wanted to sing a different song with Snoop Dogg during his cameo she said she asked if she could sing something cooler than the song that she sang

skylar astin said in an interview that when the first movie was being filmed he and his co-stars would go out dancing after filming and hit up local bars and danced all night long together he said that while filming the second and third movies though they couldn't go out dancing anymore because now everyone knows who they are and they'd get recognized too easily Flula Borg thought his casting was a hoax he said that he received an email that said there was a role for him in pitch perfect - that was a German role and he thought it was double quadruple fake then he found out it was real and

but she knew if she didn't do it that they probably couldn't get a stunt double that was the same size as her and the scene wouldn't be in the movie so she decided to do it herself and trained for five weeks to make it [Music] okay she has no underwear we have a commando situation there is a commando situation on stage one of the most cyclonic shots of the first film is when Becca auditions for the Barden Bellas the original song she was going to sing was going to be I'm a little teacup the Anna Kendrick wanted to do cuts instead so she performed it for the producers on set everybody loved it and thus it was included in the movie a makeout scene between rebel Wilson and Adam Devine had to be cut short because her pants were see-through they had a see me makeout scene that lasted over seven minutes long but after they filmed it they noticed that her pants were a bit see-through so a lot of that scene had to get cut out [Music] Natalie imbruglia's Torn was a result of improv in the 10th Brittany Snow said in an interview that in between takes of them camping they didn't get out of the tent so they were just basically hanging out in there she said that rebel went on an improv for a really long time and that she then decided to sing Natalie imbruglia's torn and it ended up being a part of the movie the Green Bay Packers are huge fans of the franchise they would even go into the actors trailers between breaks and show them videos of them doing some of the dance numbers from the first movie they each have their own part and knew it completely you be polar and Kristen Wigg were considered for Elizabeth Banks roll rebel Wilson was originally going to use an American accent for the film but after director Jason Moore heard her native Australian accent he asked her to use her regular voice for fat Amy instead a mini theme between Adam Devine and Skylar Astin was cut because they couldn't stop laughing while filming it in the scene Skylar calls him out for being slightly inappropriate and Adam blows up at Skylar there's a point where Adam rips his shirt off and was cross-eyed yelling at Skylar and it didn't make it into the movie because neither one of them could stop laughing an extra storyline between Jessy and Becca was shot but didn't make it into the film Skylar Astin said that it had a very telling evolution of Jesse he didn't want to give any more information on it though in case they decide to use it in a future pitch-perfect movie although he did say that there was a little bit of a life decision between Jesse and Becka could it be a pregnancy or marriage maybe we'll find out when pitch-perfect 3 comes out rebel Wilson doing the mermaid dance in the first movie was improv it was not in the script she said that when you're filming a movie there are usually tape marks on the ground to tell you where to stand she said that the writers loved her mermaid dance so much that they kept it in the movie but to do so they had to digitally remove the tape out of the shot to be able to use it rebel says let her mermaid dance ended up costing them thousands of dollars to use in the movie but that they said it was completely worth it while filming the first movie the cast would join tailgate parties at LSU and hang out with the students when they were done filming at the end of the day Hana Meili studied at Otis College
