Where You Headed

so i was approached to shoot a video. after some back and forth emails with the producer, i assumed we were shooting at understood time and location.

these are the emails from Thursday to saturday.

Her:

Hi. We are filming a parody. You came highly recommended by a fellow producer. This might be last minute but we are filming on Saturday at a basketball game and Wednesday for the head interviews. If you are free and interested, please let me know. The script is attached. Thanks.

Me:

Hello! Depending on the times for Saturday I could probably make it but Wednesday I work all day.

Her:

It's Saturday at 2. Do you have your own equipment?

Me:

Where is the location located? Yes I do. I shoot stuff on dslrs. Canon 7d specifically.

Her:

Hi. The address is below. So, you have a Canon 7D and lights?

Me:

I do.

What kind of crew is involved?

Her:

We are trying to get crew together. You might have to fly solo for Saturday's basketball game.

Me:

Is there a specific episode you're trying to parody directly? Or is this more general. Is there a link you can send so I know how to shoot it? How's the stands extras stuff.

Her:

(No response)

Me:

I'm here in the parking lot. Just let me know when you get here.

Her:

I'm sorry I think we had a miscommunication. Today was going to be the basketball game but we are no longer going to be shooting it switch was in the suburbs.

so yeah. she's a super pro.

luckily it was very close to a friend I've made videos with before and he wasn't to busy.

day saved!

so i wrote this stream of absurdity short that i kinda never expected to actually make but liked anyways a few years ago. we couldn't think of anything better that would be as easy.

so enjoy?
