Block B - Day 5 – Production [Anchor & Professor]

This is the last day of shooting in the TV studio. But officially we had only one day, which is today. Today everybody came a little earlier then yesterday and the day before.

Joel as the professor in our news video. We shot his scene first because he had to go for his group shooting after that. We ended up over run. But everything went smoothly. Except some super funny incidents happened during the shoot that causes the delay.

We spent almost 12 hours in the TV studio shooting everything that wasn’t shot. At the end of the day we still didn’t shot everything that includes the opening which is the ext. of TP. Due to the bad weather and bad sun lighting, we decided not to shoot the ext. scene today.

Block B - Day 4 – Production [TP TVC]

Today went straight to the TV studio when I reach school. Had difficulty transporting those equipments to there from the first floor, but I still managed. I brought 4 super long poles with me for the green screen. Without the pole, the screen won’t be able to hang up.

Today we shot the TP advertisement scene in the morning. Same as yesterday, there are nobody using the studio in the morning. So we make use of that time to shoot. Clarissa is our cast for the advertisement.

With more then three 800W lightings settled up, the TV studio became very warm. I was sweating when I was doing the setup. We also did “thank you” scene for the fun of it. Well again we enjoyed ourselves today again.

We ended shooting with that scene only. And that’s the end of the day. But as usually, I’ve to stay until evening time for my dad to fetch me home with those equipments. I think the school should come out with a big locker or store so that we can store our things and equipments there over night. If not bring all those equipments here and there is very tedious.

Block B - Day 3 – Production (Out of TP) [3D Hand, Crowds & Photographer]

Today we headed down to the old Parliament House for our shoot. We intended to use the stairs for our shoot but we didn’t realize we weren’t allowed to film there. One of the guards came and stops us from filming. So no choice we have to change to another location. The place is somehow near the there, it’s just at the front of the Parliament House after the big multi functional field.

That place is called the Glorious Dead Memorial. We placed our props and start shooting. During the shoot, there were many buses intentionally park their vehicles in front of us. Was a little pissed but I manage to solve the problem, I placed the camera bag and the tripod at the side of the road as to prevent and to warn drivers about it.

After that, we headed down to Raffles Place to get some crowd shots. Well just record it incase we need it.

After that we headed down to the Kallang Leisure Park shopping mall for the photography’s at work shot. We did many shots and had much fun there the whole day. I enjoyed filming and acting, but I still prefer to be at the back of the camera filming people in action.

Block B - Day 2 – Production [Dr. MOI & Photographer]

As usual, I’m the first to reach the school in our group. The reason is because, my dad is going for work around that time, so he could fetch me to school with those equipments I loaned from school. Well I headed to the TV studio and started planning the shots and check on those equipment that was needed for the shoot.

Finally the rest of our team mates came. We decided to shoot the “Dr MOI” scene only. Due to the timing issue with other groups, we only managed to shoot that scene in the TV studio that day.

The shoot went smoothly and it was really fun. I love setting up equipments and the rest of the mates enjoyed setting up with me too. We had fun acting in from of the camera and stuff.

Time’s up! We handed over the studio to other group. Fortunately we managed to finish capturing the Dr MOI scene. After that we went all over the school even to the Bedok Reservoir to look for a suitable location to shoot our next scene. Why are we going around searching for location during production? We went to the GO (If I’m not wrong) to double confirm on using the Design Gallery for our shoot. They told us that there will have some event going on there at a later time. So that’s the reason why we are roaming around the school after the studio shoot.

So finally we decided to shoot the photography’s interview at the TP triangle garden. I had many takes during the interview. I should improve on my acting and speech I guess.

Block B - Day 1 - Production Rolling [Model]

We started our camera rolling today! Well I enjoyed shooting this interview with the model (Yvonne), interviewer (Clarissa). I bet that every one enjoyed shooting today in the wonderful air-conditioned room, the Mac HD Lab. We took quite sometime to setup the whole scene which includes “Camera, Lightings, Set setup & etc.”. Perhaps we need to warm up ourselves furthermore today is the first day of shoot! I love setting up those scenes. I love playing around with the lightings, camera and stuff that are related to “Production / Technical”. After the whole setup, I relies that the whole lab is in a mess! But who cares, as long as we tidy the place before we leave and moreover the audience won’t be able to see it anyway. It’s behind the scene!

Today we intended to shoot the External of TP for our opening shot, but unfortunately the weather today was not in our favour.

Well today we have some issues over the TP TV Studio. So let’s just pray that everything will be fine. Well if the problem still exists on our actual TV Studio shoot, we might consider other TV Studio outside.
