Wicked editor Myron Kerstein discusses the post-production process for the musical number 'The Girl in the Bubble.' He reveals how moving the scene's placement within the film and stripping back the music completely changed its context and emotional impact.
Transcript
00:00the most interesting things about cutting girl in the bubble was actually the context um for um
00:06most of of cutting um the movie in post the scene was actually placed um uh later in the film
00:15and
00:16so um uh meaning by one scene um and so it used to come after the morble scene where more
00:24and so
00:25that context actually changed everything because she was reacting to uh this moment with morbo
00:33versus this moment with uh march of the witch hunters and that and there used to be extra music
00:39also um of another reprise of march of the witch hunters that used to go into girl in the bubble
00:44well we cut that reprise we moved the scene um and and then i had ended up taking out all
00:51the music
00:52out of um out of the intro it used to be this lush beautiful orchestration to make it very feel
00:59very raw so she is considering this moment you know where this you know where um the march of the
01:09witch hunter is about to go after alphabet and then she has to make this decision you know um what
01:16is
01:16she going to do with this is she just going to sit back and versus uh something that is motivated
01:21by
01:21morble so that context changed basically the song i'm not going to say the song didn't go from working
01:26to not working or vice versa but um i just feel like there was something about moving that just
01:33that really sort of opened up um and freed up the perception of how you would experience that number
