- Hi I am Jennifer Garner
and I am going to take you through a scene in Yes Day.
Shot by shot.
(screaming)
- [Carlos] Uh okay seriously guys.
What are we doing?
- Are those water balloons?
- [Jennifer Garner] So in Yes Day
the kids have 5 big asks
that they have come up with.
And this one is a game called Kablowey.
- [Carlos] What's Kablowey?
- It's capture the flag meets paintball
meets a butt ton of Kool-Aid.
- [Allison] Where did you come up with
all of these people?
- They have told all of these people online
that I am a casting director
for a new reality kind of sex, love show.
- Insatiable Island.
- That's you Mom.
- All of these people
that you see walking back there
are not just background.
They are stunt performers
crazy athletes, acrobats.
- Come on guys!
- [Allison] All right, I'm in it to win it.
- [Jennifer Garner] We shot it in a park
and it looked nothing like this.
All of this was built.
All of these crazy crazy things.
- Mr. Torres you are on a yes day!
- Yeah yeah
- Way to go!
- Yeah yeah
- Nat Faxon did one take.
We asked him.
We begged him to come and be our referee
and he came and did one long take.
- On the count of three I want you to charge.
- (laughing) Look at us.
We were not kidding about how intense we are.
We are very intense.
- [Referee] THREEEE
(screaming)
- [Jennifer Garner] So we have just captured our flags
and taken them back to our respective team areas.
We are all strategizing
because we know what every team is going to do.
And we know that Carlos is going to be a little bit lazy
and Jenna starts to take advantage of that.
- Oh this is going to be easy!
- One, two, three
(laughing)
(splash)
- [Jennifer Garner] Lots of people
were very uncomfortably wet
and got a lot of water in their eyes.
But everybody came to play.
- Hi, my name is Harry.
I'm here to make muscles not friends.
You know what I mean.
- They think I'm going to put them in this reality show.
So, they are all trying to get my attention.
- We are getting killed.
I need that bag.
- This was all improvised.
My friend made these bags.
And this was my mom bag
and I asked her to give me one of these for the movie
because I use her bags in real life as my mom bag.
But I improvised the whole scene saying like,
who tied your shoes for you?
Who did this for you? Who did that for you?
- Fight for your mom! Go go go.
(screaming)
- And you know what they did get really fired up.
(screaming)
It's very hard to throw a water balloon
and look cool because it moves in your hand.
(laughing) so you can't like pew.
- Nando look out!
- Oh
(splat)
- Ah
- Yay!
(laughing)
- Listen I think we need to team up
to take her out.
- [Jennifer Garner] They team up against me.
Rude.
- You want to make me a warrior?
I'm a warrior!
- [Jennifer Garner] They throw a smoke bomb.
But it back fires on them.
- Are you playing dirty Nando?
(evil laugh)
- [Jennifer Garner] And I disappear.
We played that were the smoke came up
and they were like, "Go Jen!"
And I had to run off the other side
and jump into the arms of these two huge men.
It was terrifying but fun.
Look at that guy! Like pew, like its nothing.
I love this. A warrior coming from the smoke.
(splat)
- Ugh
(laughing)
- He can't believe it.
Now here's one of my favorite shots of the movie.
This! Look at that girl.
Matrix all the way!
And we were in a rush losing the light
and she did it first take.
(screaming)
- Mrs. Torres got the red flag
- There's Nat in his one take cut into everything.
- Wait wait. Hold on. Hold on
Mom come on.
- Here is my wonderful Spanish. Get ready.
(Spanish speaking)
I just wanted to freak her out.
- No.
- Tú!
(screaming)
- [Jennifer Garner] And this
I didn't know if I could still flip on a wall.
It had been awhile.
But I could. I was on wires.
(leaves crunching)
- Ha ha ha
- I actually caught it once.
Otherwise it always exploded in my hand.
(splat)
- [Jennifer Garner] And I won!
And what I love is that the kids celebrate that I won.
Even though we were all so competitive.
- That's my mom!
That's my mom!
(cheering)
- We did it!
- Check out Yes Day. Now streaming on Netflix.
