...cut cut cut. boh-eng arr...

...lights! camera! action!!!. a day in a life of a film director. so fortunate to be able to tag along the director and producer for a movie shoot. so many actions calling. so many cut cut cut. malaysian likes to repeat their words many times. cut cut cut. no wonder we are all tired people. action. action. wei action arr. it was a so farnee film directing session. actors were laughing all the way; not able to control their laughter. camera man clicking all the way with flash; no wonder sometimes we see flashes in movie. wakakakz. i was totally wiped out after the one-day-tag-along. totally out. exhausted. no strength to move. all i can do was just lie down and look at the ceiling. the shooting of the dnd trailer. awesome!

MEtz team did an excellent job. amazing, all scenes were shot at one single location, guess where? wakakaz. transformed into 18 scenes all together the whole trailer talks about making time to those who matters. MEtz's were giving direction to the casts on what to do and how to do it and where to stand, which angle will look nice and briefing them on the theme of the shoot. 18 scenes. 10 cast members one location 5 hours.

action. action. wait. wait wait. not enough lights la. wait. boh eng. you stand here lar. wei i look fat from this angle lar. wei, don take face ok. not free arr. boh eng boh eng. how to put the blanket. ooi, feed slowly la. u feed sick people liddat one mer? profits has gone down adi. kringg..kringg..boh eng boh eng. how do we increase our profits? oi meh liddat. cut cut cut. stop stop. wei the phone didnt ring geh. aiyoh! (smack the hand on the forehead). wei, not free la. mm tak han arr. wah boh eng. boh eng. not free la. how many times tell u. wah boh eng. boh eng.

tagging along the whole shoot i got to learn new skills on how to direct people and how to work with our celebrities actors. really challenging but extremely fun. toughest was getting the rain out and crossing the road. hot and sunny rainy day on a busy street filming. congrats MEtzteam for pulling it all together for a wonderful trailer. i get to live a life of the people in the film industry. totally boh eng...
