More problems:

Two weeks have passed by and neither Cat nor Ryan have been available, ive been getting really frustrated because there is nothing else i can do until i have the footage. To make things worse, Ryan, my lead man has unfortunately been in a car crash, meaning he won’t be able to be used for another week or two. During this time i have considered using a different actor, however i realised that means redoing everything, when the stop frame footage i took is usable still, so it would make sense to wait for Ryan to recover.
