You Crazy Productions And Your Last Minute Changes
Nov 26th, 2009 by Alan Yu
This week and next I am pretty busy as I committed to working on various films and therefore the schedule has been all set. Just today, one production wanted to push the shoot from tomorrow to Monday instead. That conflicts with my commitment with a different project.
So, obviously one production is going to get screwed, so to speak, as obviously I can’t exactly be at two places at once. Fortunately one of them think that they can adjust to it. But still, you’d think that the appropriate thing to do is to confirm with the talent ahead of time about any changes.
This might be hectic too with the way it might work now. In the morning I will have to act in one film where there is going to be a whole whack of makeup and effects put on me and then just like an hour later I have to go to a different set to act in the other film. This will be a test for sure.
So how did things go?
The organized one went great. The disorganized one actually ended up canceling the shoot that date again with no contact notice believe it or not. They then changed it once again to a different date where some drama occurred. I posted about it:
