Splish splash...

Started the day quite well initially, filming of the 1st 2 scenes (tanjong rhu & ang mo kio ntuc) went smoothly...but the scene at SingPost (aka the splashing paint scene) was crazy sia...first, i realised that the "paint" mixture (flour & water) that i'd prepared beforehand had turned sour and had stinko smell...so i had to mix another 2 sets on the spot (luckily I'd bought 2 extra packets of flour) while they are filming...my props man was busy with setting up the props for the scene...then halfway during filming, the big LCD screen at the filming location suddenly broadcasted CNA and the sound was interfering with our filming...so with my hands messy with the flour mixture, i had to call up the SingPost office to ask if can switch off...but as it was just after 5pm, so their calls were switched to automated reply ("sorry, our office is closed at the moment, pls call again tomorrow....blah...") so I had to run up to their reception to ask the contact number of their engineering dept...after being transferred to various depts, i finally got the person in charge...so problem solved, so i ran downstairs to our filming area...but got tripped by a step and fell (and skidded on the floor) face first (luckily managed to break the fall with my palms and elbows...) on the ground...so now, knees & palms hav bruises and elbows got scratches...haiz...

during the 1st take of the spashing act, it was an NG cos boom was in the shot...then we had to clear up everything in a hurry (clothes, briefcases, allan's hair, michelle's hair, railings...) and then come second shot-splash not obvious enough...so comes a third shot...ok shot...(finally)...then after finishing the scene, we (propsman, PA, director & I) had to clean up the area (railings, floor, leaves & plants...) cos the affected area was pretty big...esp the leaves of the plant...haiz...

Then during the filming of my last scene at night, my production coordinator informed me that i've to go filming this sat...on anisia's wedding day!!...and so, now i'm at office, just finished rushing the p/t forms, location forms and rundowns...now awaiting props store's lunchtime to be over so i can go book props....finishing my fried rice with soya bean drink...
