> As far as getting colleagues to act in sketches, I'd ask for help from your boss. I'm not sure I agree with this idea. The coworkers don't seem to be willing to appear or act in the videos. If that isn't close to their job description, they shouldn't be expected to. It's true that that's more of the boss' problem than OPs but, essentially, if people don't want to appear in public videos when that isn't their job, the solutions shouldn't be to pressure them to. Naming or pointing out the person who withdrew permission might put that person in a negative light, and I don't think that'd be fair. Sure, backpedaling can be frustrating, and perhaps she shouldn't have agreed in the first place, but I don't think it's really proportional to bring potential flak or pressure to participate on her because of that. We don't know the boss, of course, but if he complains about the costs of a equipment -- OP mentions memory cards, of all things, which aren't exactly a great expense -- I'm not sure that sparks great confidence in his judgement.
