For memories’ sake.
Mr Smith will only mark the finished product this afternoon.
For all the paperwork, journal entries, script, story boards, costuming, personal reflection etc… he will need them in only on the first day when we get back from the holidays.

Dear Team.
Hello, its georgie here.
How is everyone.
Um i wont be able to make it on the day scheduled for pick up shots, due to dram rehearsals.
So you have two options, do the shots, but without me.
Or, do it another day, or that day but after 4.30
the choice is yours.
Sorry about that.
