Love Angle: Scheduling Problems
Penguin July 17th, 2007
As we get deep into shooting this movie, I’ve found that the toughest thing is getting the requisite actors together. One day they’ll be okay for a shoot, the next, they have something pressing to do and we lose a day.
One of my actors dropped a bomb this past Friday. She wouldn’t be around for 3 weekends. Considering we only had about 5 weekends, one we lost already, it would be almost impossible to schedule her parts in for just one weekend.
As much as it pained me, I had to let her go and find a replacement.
With all my scripts, I tend to write for the actor. Over the years, I’ve come to know their voice and their mannerisms, so I can tailor the dialogue and emotion of the scene for them. I can visualize how they will play out the scene and interact with the other actors.
But, I have to do what’s best for the movie. If that means finding another actor, that’s what has to happen.
We also started shooting during the week and it’s incredibly difficult to shoot more than one scene a night.
At least it’s slowly coming together.
