Production Blog: We Have An Issue

 Hey Cambridge, I'm back!! Today was supposed to be a smooth filming day, until an unexpected baseball game threw everything off. We arrived on set ready to shoot a crucial scene. Just as we were setting up, I got a notification. Apparently, my baseball game, which was originally scheduled for next week, had been moved to today due to a scheduling conflict at the field. None of us had any idea this was happening. Because this game was so important missing the game wasn’t an option. We quickly huddled to figure out if we could shoot around this, but the scene required myself for most of what we were filming. We considered filming smaller scenes which didn't include myself, but my partner was already set up for this specific sequence. Changing everything last-minute would waste time. The decision to cancel wasn’t easy. We had already spent time setting up equipment. We scrambled to adjust the schedule, but there was no way around it. So, we had to cancel today’s shoot. It was frustrating, especially since we had limited days at this location, but sometimes life happens. Even though we were both annoyed, there was nothing we could do about it. I had committed to both the film and my team, and unfortunately, the schedules mixed. We all knew that balancing school, extracurriculars, and a film project was tough. Even though this sucked, the unexpected break gave everyone a chance to rest, review scripts, and plan for the next shoot. An idea we came up with was to just film the baseball game and work it into the movie somehow. But this in the end wasn't possible.  By the time we wrapped up for the day, without filming anything, we had accepted that these things happen. It was a reminder that filmmaking, like baseball, requires teamwork and flexibility. We’ll have to work extra hard to stay on schedule from here on out. That's it for today Cambridge. See ya!!!
