Shooting a scene

[DesperadoMan17]

Hey everyone. Okay so I am shooting my commercial in two weeks. And I cant wait!!! Okay so the one scene I am having my character walk down the hall and open the door to find two women dancing. Here is the problem. My grandma has cancer and they just put a hospital bed in that room. There is another room next to it but that is a bedroom and not enough space. What could I do? Film that scene somewhere else to make it look like its at the same house? I mean I could always ask to move my grandma out just until I get the shot I need.

Either option would work fine as long as your family doesn't find that a bit rude.

I mean they are all for me shooting this. But its just a hard time for everyone. Ill ask.

That's done all the time in film. If I were in your shoes, in this situation, that's what I would be arranging to do.

I agree with Zensteve. We shot the driveway and front door of an apartment in NJ, and the interior on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. No one notices.
