well, some of you know i come on here to vent my frustration and anger sometimes at technology and other things. now it is the students time.
i am productio manager on liquide soap, i defer to the series producer Chris Jury and also the exec producer Nic Jeune. in the last week, a week before we start filming this coming monday 22nd june, we have had students who applied for acting roles disappear leaving us short of actors, leading to characters being cut from scripts, and today, 1 day before the first episode shoot have had another actor drop out of a medium sized but central to the story line role, we had the costume designer turn round on the monday and say she couldn't do as she was going to a festival and the scripts, though i know this is getting more and more the case in the real world too, arent all ready yet, two scripts arent at production draft yet and 3 only went to that stage on thursday afternoon.
this is stress like ive never experienced before, but it drives you to get things right even when they are all going tits up.
i do have written on a piece of paper near me at all times 'BE PREPARED FOR CHAOS' so maybe thats helping...
we can only wait and see
