Editing & VFX are time-consuming but at least it's just sitting and working at a computer. The shooting process is when the real organizational challenge happens. I try to keep track of everything with checklists and schedules, but sometimes the simplest things slip through the cracks.
You may have seen me complain on Twitter a few days ago about how I forgot to put dots on my face. It was for a brief shot where I pretend to have a motion capture suit. I filmed it as the last thing of the day and simply forgot this very important part of the look.
I considered adding them digitally in post, but then realized that would be insane. So I bit the bullet, got back into makeup the next day and re-shot that part.
And I'm glad I did. It was an opportunity to snaz-up the whole costume. Look at that low-effort before picture. I don't know why I thought that was acceptable!
