Everything was going great. We were all excited to get the majority of our filming done this weekend, as well as the photoshoot, and then the unthinkable happened. Our actors had lives outside of our portfolio project. I know what you're thinking, what kind of "friends" are these right? Well, unfortunately, life happens, and the people you think are your "friends" end up stabbing you in the back (I'm kidding, these are great people who unfortunately had scheduling conflicts).
Despite planning on completing the photoshoot and church shots on Saturday, and filming the main scene and credit sequence on Sunday, our actor for the mother informed us she would unfortunately be busy all day on Saturday, and the actor for Belle would be approximately 3 hours north for all of Sunday. So I don't know if you noticed but these are 2 separate days, both in which one of the actors are missing. If they had been missing on the same day, we could have perhaps crammed filming into one day, but unfortunately that wasn't an option. We failed to account for something like this in our planning, and this is a great learning experience for us. Life happens and we should probably account for it next time.
Nevertheless, we are aiming to do as much as production as humanly and practically possible this weekend, including the photoshoot of the mother alone, and some shots within the church. Next week, we are all free on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, and will be sure to work on and conclude the filming process. In the words of Robert Burns, "The best laid schemes o' mice an' men, gang left agley!" - whatever that means.
