There are many problem that you have to be prepared to face while working in the group when there is more than two of you in the whole production company. The first thing I experienced was the avability, not only the artist acting for us, but the group members.
1) Avalability of the group members: As we worked in 3's. Planning in advance was never working properly. This is because every one of us had his own problems: family issues/work. Therefore we were not always available. Because we are very bonded group we were never filming if one of our members was not able to come, because then the ideas that he might have about the specific would not be said. So we planned everything 2-3 days before and we all made sure that we don't have any unexpected schedule for the weekend when we need to film.
2) Avalability of the artist: Because our music video is mainly based around one artist, there was a lot of filming needed to be done. The performance scenes which take a lot of time had to be planned a lot of time. Our artist Sam was not always able to do some of the filming due to his ilness/work and other important events including family events. This slightly let our schedule slip a week forward, but it should not impact the final result of the video.
3) New editing software: Because this year we were introduced to new, more complex editing software my group members and I were not ready to use it straight away. The problem it has caused was each of us taking some time trying to learn the basic functions, so we can then edit some small bits when rest of the group is not in. We went from iMovie HD to Final Cut which is better and gives us more options when it come to special effects and overall editing.
