As you may know, there is plenty of downtime between shooting movie scenes. Setting up the cameras, lighting, blocking, changing batteries, and all the other mechanics. These are known and controllable.
Then there are the “uncontrollables”. Yes, on location there are plenty of them. Weather events, unwanted noise of all kinds and from every direction, actors who drift away and are not ready, people wandering into the scene because they were not intercepted or refused to wait, and hey, even clouds when you don’t want them, or waiting when you want them.
These unforeseen conditions are sometimes frustrating, always cost money…and drive the crew crazy. But if handled right, that is, seeing the magic in something gone wrong, by embracing serendipity, a real gem may presents itself that no one thought of during the planning phase.
This happened just the other day in New York on the set of a film I was in. The delays started with an electrical problem in the get-away car. The car did not start and hence, couldn’t…get away. This problem was finally solved by an extra who was a mechanic in real life. But in the meantime, really bad weather in the form of thunder cloud cells was coming in from the west. It rained and cleared. Rained and cleared again. And then the director was hit by inspiration. During the next rain cycle, they filmed the now working get-away car in action with all the rain and lightning and thunder. No post process special effects needed. And the scene looked really, really good. Really deep and moody and foreshadowing.
I guess the moral is, there is always opportunity in what looks like disaster. You just have to have the courage to change the script.

Hey! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established blog. Is it tough to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I’m thinking about setting up my own but I’m not sure where to start. Do you have any ideas or suggestions? Appreciate it
Hello there! This is my first visit to your blog! We are a group of volunteers and starting a new initiative in a community in the same niche. Your blog provided us valuable information to work on. You have done a wonderful job!
Thank you. I wish your group success in your outreach effort to help people in need. The number of people needing help is staggering, but to help even one person is an achievement. This reminds me of the old starfish story: Two people walking on a beach. A storm washed up hundreds of starfish leaving them stranded on the sand. One person picks up a starfish and throws it back into the sea. The other says, “That’s kind of meaningless, there are hundreds out here.” The other person says, “Yes there are, but it meant something to the one I saved.”
