A Glimpse Of Me.: Shooting Continuity Film

Just so you know.. This is going to be a super long post.. Hehe.. I had a looooong weekend..

Just have to say that.. I never ever ever get the weekend to myself! Boo-Hoo! I need some ME-time.. Hahahaha

Anywayz.. It all started on Thursday when we have to check-out our equipment to shoot our film over the weekend..

We got into a taxi because the three of us (Sebastian, Asha, and me) had to carry ALL the equipment to Sebastian's house and there was no way we could do it so we took a taxi.

As usual, I got all jakun-ed up and started picture snapping. And Sebastian said, "Hmm, Rachel, you really like taking pictures don't you?" Well, it doesn't sound funny when i type it out but he said it in the most sarcastic way ever. Hahaha

The taxi was super big by the way.. So we could put all our equipment at our feet.

And yet.. I do it so effortlessly.. Muahahaha! (I actually bump my head on the door to take this picture.. Hehe =P)

Funny Faces!

Then on Friday.. We went to shoot Sebastian and Asha's film in Sebastian's house. And as usual, I got lost on the way there. But it's all good.. I got to take a long walk with my starbucks coffee in hand and i finally bumped into Asha and her actor, who were also lost. But we made it in the end. Yay us!

I didn't take any pictures of Asha's shoot because I was DP (Director of Photography), which is just a high class name for a camera man. Hehe.. It was a fun shoot eventhough I had to get into weird positions with the camera and ended up hurting my shoulder.

After that, we went for lunch. And while we were out, Sebastian was waiting for his actor and actress to arrive. When we got back, he told us that his actress canceled and I had to act for him. So i did. Hehe.. His story is about a wife murdering her husband. Funny.

Sebastian even asked his actor to choose the "blood" of his choice.

Hmm, Which brand is good for blood?

Me and Dave, the actor (He wants to be a Bollywood star.. How cool is that?!)

Preparing the crime scene

My dead husband. Muaahahahaha!

Taking the light reading of the blood. Hahaha! I thought it was a funny sight..

On Saturday morning.. We went to shoot Seung's (my new crew member) film. Again, no pictures coz I was the DP. We shot the film outdoors and it was so freezing cold that my skin cracked all over until it started bleeding and i can see my flesh. It's a pretty gross sight.

Then in the evening, we went to shoot my film.. Whee! Joon (the one in my crew) let me use his house, he's so nice! (Thank you, Joon!)

Everyone was really tired by then but they were still so nice and helpful.. Hehe..

Me and my DP (Sebastian)

Me and my actor (YoHei)

My Gaffers (Seung & Joon)

The whole crew! Plus Joon (with the hat) and actor YoHei

I love them all!

After Joon and YoHei left, we wanted to have a celebratory dinner but no one wanted to go out to buy the food and drinks because we were all too tired and lazy. But all of a sudden, Asha screamed! And everyone was like, "What?"

And then I saw a rat running! And I screamed! And me and Asha was like "RATTTT!!"

Then, everyone started jumping on the furniture. Joon was the most terrified and it's HIS apartment. Hahaha. Then Sebastian started going around with his camera and taking videos of everyone's expression.

Smile, guys!

After that, Sebastian got a brilliant idea to chase the rat around with our lighting kit. It was so funny that I had to take pictures. But when I ask him to pose for the camera.. He was like, "Sorry, Rachel. Real life, real problems."

Hahaha!

Sebastian with the V-Light.

Still chasing the mouse. And Joon still very terrified. Hahaha

Amidst the havoc, I still had to camwhore.

We didn't catch the mouse in the end. But everyone ended up going to buy the food and drinks together because no one wanted to stay in the house with the rat. So we went. And bought a gigantic pizza and some beers! Yum yum.
