Simon came up with a genius suggestion yesterday which has solved two problems. The first was the issue of restraining Ed to the bed. We began to wonder whether people would question Ed's ridiculous attempts when he could simply get out of the bed to catch Jeds attention. It was therefore always a known fact that he would have a broken leg or two, but how do we show it? We dismissed the idea of attaching a big ugly cast on his foot for composition reasons and proportions. Restraints were out of the question unless we were going for the mental asylum look. So why not introduce an xray of the patient? A great idea by Mr Harvey - so much so that I made it that night....
It also solves the issue of a blank video screen on the life support machine that needs filling. Hopefully we can have the legs flashing, or red squares zeroing in on the fractures when the camera pans past informing the audience of the injury.
I need to run through the new camera pan with the team tommorow, however I think I've decided the original boring straight pan down the machine is out, and the new querky left to right, up and down pan is in. That way we can cover alot more interesting features on the machine, following pipes and passing the xray, but still finishing up with the patient.
