Could you not just turn up with black leggings and claim you couldn't find any striped leggings? If you turn up on the day without them there isn't really much they can do about it, because I doubt they'll postpone the scene or anything.Spoiled rant ahead:
I'm blessed to do what I love, but I hate when what I love is messed up by other people. I auditioned to shoot this film in FEBRUARY. It's been pushed off and pushed off and the dude finally decides he wants to shoot at the end of April, fine. Except, oh wait, I have other commitments that are keeping to their schedules that quite frankly I care about SO much more. I haven't had this script all this time, and he's essentially saying "I want you to film this scene like this with this action and these emotions and this will be your interpretation. In 2 weeks." NO room for creativity, it's horrendously uninteresting, and it's basically some guys dream-world imagining. Which isn't as fun as it sounds when you have to partake in it, because it boxes you in to one aspect and one vision, horrendously black-and-white. Particularly if it's some guys creeper-fantasy or clearly one-sided interpretation of their life and its events. The clothes he wants me to wear are going to clash HORRENDOUSLY- seriously, striped shirt and striped leggings? I'm going to look like a mime..or just unable to dress myself. Or like a clown. I HATE clowns, plus I have to FIND striped leggings and go buy them. I'm wholly uninterested in promoting it now because it's become this dead weight chained to me I can't get rid of. I've already moved on emotionally to other projects and things, it's like a bad breakup you can't shake off. Ugh. #whinyrantover
