Destination Unknown!

Decisions are hard. Especially when going back and forth on location choices.
My first impression of the first house we intended to use did not match what the script explained and at first did not fit into the physical situation i had in mind for the kitchen scenes (the breaking of the window). But after a night of tossing and turning i eventually came up with a solution to the problem and even made the script work quite well with the location.
Sadly it was one day too late. The owner of the house had not been notified in time and we were forced to relocate to our original idea of filming in Gourock.

Indeed this proved a problem, as budget would only allow us to transport some down to the location and not the entire team.
Working around this we have had to stage a make shift bed and breakfast in my home to cut costs and keep travel time down to a minimum.

In reflection to this all I will have to make my decisions more precise and clear to absolutely everyone. False information is not something that can be spread, especially if myself believes this false information! Never again.

So the RED's broken. The RED was never a huge thing to me for this shoot. The RED would look astonishing of coarse but for myself, focusing completely on performance, i am quite happy with the 570. I have been told that the RED may be fixed in time for my shoot, but in the case that it may not be repaired, I am more than welcome to the idea of shooting on the 570, as long as the story is told.
Let's see what i think of that when i see the edit, shall we?

This morning was the first time I have truly panicked. Thankfully it was in the comfort of my own home and I was able to process the information and resolve the mood. The shock of having to change the script time and time again has taken it's toll on myself. But I am struggling through and will hopefully see the light.
