Portfolio Project: Production

 The Great Mishap


    "Off to a great start with production, aren't we?" I ask myself as I do the walk of shame to my bag to grab my laptop and write up this blogpost. Yes, we found our final actor. Yes, we had everything planned out. Yes, we were a little tight on time as we could only make the weekend work for filming. No, we did NOT expect to have such a mishap occur.

    The plan was simple. Saturday, we were to film the church scene and then do the photoshoot so we could have the photos prepared for... Sunday, which was also simple: finish the main scene. However, the great winds swept the globe, picking up word that things would not work out so perfectly. The winds did not give us the luxury of receiving this word early either. Tonight, Friday, we get word that the actress for the mom will not be available Sunday, and that the actress for the daughter will not be available Saturday. If it was just one person not available, we could have worked around it. If they were not available the same day, we could have worked around it. We did not account for something like this in our planning. Perhaps this is something to learn from.

    Either way, we are planning to do as much as we can on Saturday, when the mom's actress is available. Specifically, we will attempt to get some footage from the church that does not require actors and get at least the main portrait image of the mother so we can start editing it so it can be printed out before the main shooting day. We will keep you updated on this new plan.
