Ok, I'm Dutch and we are a stubborn lot. I'm also of the mindset that if you get hurt or sick you give it time then if it doesn't go away you go to a doctor. Well I'll find out tomorrow if I ended up with a concussion. I'm pretty sure I did as I've been dizzy, nauseated, headache, tired, etc. So if the doctor tells me not to film, I sure as heck won't listen but I will try to do what I can to take it relatively easy. Sunnies and a hat to help with the lights and video village so I don't have to look at a small screen. The director of the other final project is also sick with a cold that has been going around. I hope I don't get that as well.
The final project is going to be awesome. I hope that it helps people. I won't be saying much until it's done and possibly online, but I will say it is approved by someone who's been there done that and that makes me confident about it. As well as my cast being able to do the job well. I love it, and I love my cast. I can't wait to actually film it. It will be intense.
Now an update (Nov 3). The doctor said that, yes it is a concussion and I have to get a CT scan on my head and neck. No idea how much that is going to cost. Right now that's the least upsetting thing. Since my priorities are so in order: I can't direct my final project, if it gets greenlit tomorrow before we are supposed to film and we go ahead, until I get the scan done and the results. I'm currently on forced rest at the base while the others are filming the other final project. I am so angry, frustrated, and devestated. This cannot seriously be happening. It's not about the grades or what have you. I am trying not to cry my eyes out right now. I care more about that project than the money for the scan. I don't believe the way things have gone. All the trouble and roadblocks, now this. I'm not out, I'm just momentarily down. Now to go have a good cry.
Ok done that now. Moving on. Onward to how to get this project done and done well.
