Hello all. Let me tell you about the ridiculous events of last weekend:

Emily and Mac had a film project to shoot. They had been planking for weeks and around this time last week everything seemed under control. Then things started to happen. First the actors that were suppose to play the guy and girl dropped out. Emily got her best friend Shannon to play the girl and Shannon's boyfriend to play the guy. Mid week Emily got a call saying that the camera she had reserved was broken. Luckily, since she had requested it so far in advance, the professor let her use his super 16mm camera (much nicer than the original camera).

Then came the shoot. I took off work early to help out, arriving at Mac's apartment around 6:30. We waited a couple hours for the male lead to show up. Every time we called he was "on his way". Eventually we just decided to cast Christian, one of the crew members. The Friday night shoot went well. As did the Saturday shoot.

Saturday night as Christian was leaving, Emily told him not to ride his motorcycle. Of course he rode it anyway and got into an accident (which wasn't his fault). He went to the hospital and there was no way he was going to finish the shoot. Saturday night we stayed up most of the night re-writing the script. We decided to do a mock investigative report, using the footage from Friday and Saturday as reenactments. Overall I think the project will turn out very well. Maybe even better than it would have without the problems.
