Actor Drop Outs
Coming up to the dates of my shoot, officially 3 days before, one of my confirmed actors pulled out due to supposedly double booking on the weekend of my shoot. I was left with one other actor who was still unsure of his commitment to the production so I needed to act fast and on my feet to restore faith in completing this unit.
As each day passed and with it all being too late with Casting Call Pro I decided it was best to go ahead and shoot with a person from our class, going against what we had been informed not to do, but I deemed it necessary as something needed to be shot.
The actor who was unsure of his commitment did eventually pull out but said to give him details on future projects, etc, so I shall keep his contact information!
Overall I think in the future with using platforms such as Casting Call Pro, I'll not put all my eggs in one basket, to wait for other applicants to apply and see. At the time I must admit feelings of anxiety and worry to not receiving lots of applicants and that is probably why I rushed into trying to confirm the two actors that were unable to follow through with their first enthusiastic responses to the call out.
