Problem with, (and solution to) the music video

We have been informed by a band member that his job restricts him to certain times for us to shoot the music video. His job spreads from Monday to Friday so our original plan to shoot the video on a Thursday or Friday during the day has had to be altered. We search for other options and have now planned to shoot the video in the Sandgate Church Hall, where as a band we usually practice. It is not too far from the school stage we were originally planning to use, so our location look, based on our research should not differ too much.

Another problem we have found that due to Matt's work constraints, he is unable to film the section where he catches his drumstick before activating the whiteboard to show the animation. Instead, Aiden will take the place of not only Matt, but all the other members role's in relation to the whiteboard 'activation'. This way we will not have the time constraints of all five members. However, this will not alter the band members unique action during the video. For instance, Matt will still throw his drumstick off shot (this will be filmed at Sandgate with the rest of the video), but instead of himself catching the drumstick, Aiden will be there instead.

UPDATE: We again have decided to alter the video. Aiden will no longer feature in the video, but instead we are going back to the original idea, with a few slight differences. We saw it unnecessary for someone to catch the items to 'activate' the animation, so we have decided to show the unique items landing on a white background, most likely a large piece of card around A1 size, and be the starting point of the animation. From that background, we can use the same background to film the animation so it does not look uneven.
