Video Shoot 101
Sunday, April 27th, 2008Havent been to my office for the past 3 days coz was involved in a video shoot for my company’s corporate video..actually its my manager’s project but was involved in helping him out as well.
Pretty fun i must say but hey it was tiring! Especially on the first day lor..coz the day was like so extremely hot..and spent the whole morning out in the sun filming my company’s site etc..so you can imagine how tired i was at the end of the day! Was at Jurong Island for the morning so outta in the sun was killing!
It is so different when you are wearing a bikini lying there tanning..and wearing an overall with all the safety gear on! -_-
And this is also the first time that i had to wear all my safety gear! Helmet, goggles, safety vest and safety shoes! The shoes were like so heavy and i looked like Ronald McDonald with the big shoes sticking out of my feet! hee hee..Quite cool really wearing all those kit..especially with the helmet and goggles..jus made me feel like an engineer..hahah..:P And those places that i went to are like industrial sites where it is mainly male-dominated..like shipyard, construction site, etc..so you can imagine the stares that i get when i was walking ard man..Felt so weird..
But it was definitely an experience as i get to enter places where outsiders would neva get a chance to! Like this morning, i actually got the chance to go into an Operating Theatre at SGH where a full mock-up of an operation was done up for us to film! So basically i was wearing those coats, like in Scrubs..actually they called those uniforms Scrubs…Now i know where the show got the name from..hee hee..Seriously it was an eye-opening experience and it was really fun lor! ![]()
And i also got a chance to enter the construction site where they are building the Marina IR!:) It was definitely chaotic! and the construction site is really the least safe place in towN! All the unsafe acts that would have endanger the lives of the workers are really nothing to be proud of lor….But it is really impressive looking at the scale of the construction and the number of workers working there..its simply amazing! Also got a chance to visit one of the aero companies..that manufactures the parts that are used in the plane! Simply amazing and it is really very labor instensive lor..
And the video crew was really fun also! Basically it was made up of the director, Lum, videographer, Mr. Goh, Gripman cum helper, Benjamin (whom they call Bin Bin..heard he’s signed-on Commando lor..) and Uncle Chan, our driver..all of them were so fun and funny..and they are my relatives like hundreds of years ago..coz they are teochew also! Spoke in Teochew and the jokes they talked about were so funny! And boy can they eat! After eating a pplate of hor fun, they can somemore eat pancakes, goreng pisang man! Gosh! But hey they are a fun bunch of peeps!
Peeps in the entertainment are always fun..:)
Even though every morning i have to wake up like real early to go for my location shoot and going back late and traveling to and fro, it was definitely worth it.
And now am just waiting for the post-production to be added on so that it would be complete..when this video is out, it would really be a sense of satisfactioN!
