Film stuff part 3

So far we've have two days of shooting in the course of a week. not bad, but each time there is shots we keep saying we'll pick up later. We have quite a big shoot scheduled for Tuesday but now it looks like we might lose one of the actors for it. It's a shame because the part was pretty much written for them to do and it just wouldn't be right with someone else doing it. Don't get me wrong, I totally understand the reasons behind it. He's been offered a really challenging role in a play, the kind of role that doesn't come around often so when they do you grab them with both hands and get stuck in! We might be able to work around it and see if we can keep him in the part. I don't know, need to sleep on it I think.
The shots for the film so far are looking great! the new camera we're using is HD and it really makes a difference in the shot quality. Course it also makes it harder to capture and edit but, once again, we'll get there. Don't suppose anyone has a spare macbook I could use? :/
Today's shoot was a long tough one. It was still fun but there were some real stressful moments in there today. so much things going on off camera that really impact on the on camera stuff. I feel like sometimes saying to people to leave all that kind of thing until after the shoot but that seems mercenary like. I really care about the cast and crew in this film, each one of them is giving up their spare time to help us shoot. What i don't like is people putting pressure on my cast particularly the other half of Homedy and Corror. She has so much going on in her life just now and it can't be easy for her. I worry that it all might get too much for her and effect her really badly and the last thing she needs is more people piling pressure onto her. I know what she'd say though. "I'm big enough and ugly enough to look after myself" or more than likely a simple "I'm fine". So I've got to take her at her word. Still, maybe I should keep a close eye on her anyway, just in case she does need help.
time for bed i reckon. Long day at work tomorrow with an early start. cya later!
