29/06/06 - 2 BECOMES 1

We had two weekends coming up for shooting two seperate scenes. This was to make the schedule less hectic and not take up everyones entire weekend with work on the film, very important if you have been 9 to 5'ing it all week (not for me...I couldn;t care less and would be filming 24/7 if I could...but you HAVE to be respectful of other people's lives!).
However, an opportunity for a decent role in a short came up for Lee, right on the weekend that i had just lined everything up for the School Room shoot!!! Goo dopportunity and Lee was more than willing to turn it down if things were too booked up. Good man!
But no need as I knew he should not turn this unforseen opportunity down. So we both thought about how to work round and wondered if we could indeed get two days work in instead?
Quick texts and calls around set it up that not only was everyone able to do this, and on the relevant days needed, but the schedule meant some cast who appear in both scenes we would have access to for one weekend so was less of an issue for them too!
AND on top of that, one of our cast, Emma, who has quite irregular and demanding day job hours is actually more available on the day we now want her for and so we can shoot an addtional mini-scene without having to ask her to come back again! Triple bonus!
So once again, thinking on feet and being flexible means that we can put 2 scenes into play in 1 weekend without stress to anyone involved. Can't wait!....
