What's your usual [mood]?
Throughout my 17 years of existence, never, not once have i been so exhausted while in the comfort of my own home. Ah fad msged me at 1000hrs to notify me on the fact that he has arrived waaayyyy early, ok, maybe half and hour early, but that's alot anyway. So i quickly took a bath, made my bed, whatnot and headed out to meet them at bedok mrt. Jessy was obviously the last to arrive and 20mins late. Vee went to collect the equipment with her manager and charlene and kris would be coming over by bike. We were hanging aornd waiting for equipment and stuff and shaun, our talent, protagonist with multiple personality disorder arrived. And might i add i think he's cute... 'cept that he's short.
Sheesh. So, Vee arrived, we lugged the equipment up and had lunch. My mommie cooked chicken rice and even i thought it was fantasticomundo! Oh, and there were 9 peeps in the house in all. Plus my mom would make it 10.
Then we went down to the block opposite to shoot. And fuck, everytime Vee yelled ACTION something, i'm telling ya, some god damned thing had to make some fucking noise and we had to cut. We got it done pretty quickly, by 1530hrs, we were already back up, and when our lecturer came over to see the progress and stuff. We reviewed the tape and something got fucked up. Apparently we didn't give the cam enough buffer time, but we did, it's just the presence of a wannabe tt makes it all jinxed. So, because we were using natural lighting, it obviously has changed with time so we had to reshoot the scenes all over again. It SHOULD have been much faster this time, but since it was time when ppl got outta work and went home, we had more fucking environmental noise and distraction.
Kate went to get her mom who had a teensy role in the production and later we had dinner. After that we shot all the way till one in the morning. Howzzat? 12hrs of shooting. Everybody was dead tired, esp ah fad since he's the cameraman. The shot in my room, in the hallway, the living room, the corridoor. Shaun's a natural, man. Vee's frens are all like drama-mama. Haahaa... Oh, and ah fad cursed publicly for the first time when we were trying to do the vertigo effect and kept screwing up. But all in all, Team Excellence rawked. Okay, team excellence and the other two for-the-time-being members. Now i've to complete the paperwork.
Oh! Today, we had to return the equipment. Initially i thought Vee's manager was gonna help us send the equipment, so when V gave me a call, i opened my door and she was right outside already. Apparently, she couldn't get his help, but he was nice enough to send em here anyway. We single handedly lugged the equipment- i swear it's at least 50kg. Notice i'm using AT LEAST! I always help my mom lug 10kg of rice and i could swear the lighting, the camera shit, the tripod and the fucking camera weighs more than thrice of that! Imagine two girls, one in a singlet and miniskirt and the other in a denim dress with size twelve feet groaning and swearing and cursing desperately carrying the equipment shit down. Vanessa then went to get a cab and we went to school. Throughout the ride, V was on the phone (actually so was i) talking to her bandmates and whatnot coz she's late for her recording. So, she unloaded everything, and left. And poor fuzz was left to her own devices to get the things to the Cage. THANK GAWD a senior, Melissa asked whether i needed help and she helped with the trolley with the two boxes and the tripod and the cable extension. May God bless her kind, kind heart. Seriously! The i went to bras basah complex to get stuff for my gra comm project and i fell in lurve with the shop art friends! It's so artsy fartsy! Haahaa... i need to start on my medisoc assignment and the paperwork for yesterday, so another time, yeah? Cheers!!!
