With the apartment bailing, the production team found an apartment. They showed it to me and I said it looked good to book.
They then came back and told me that it was not going to be possible to film outside the front door – the location wouldn’t allow it.
But they had already booked it.
So I was just going to have to change the creative to fit.
We went home and tried to figure out how to make the creative work, but it just couldn’t. It didn’t make sense without those scenes.
We’re now talking to some other crew members about the possibility of filming at their apartments instead.
I know our line producer isn’t going to be happy about it because she’s convinced that film LA will find out, show up, and shut the production down.
I ran our potential plan by the AD and he agrees we should go forward with it even though it wouldn’t include him.
I think it just makes the most sense at this point.
