Finally.......after two days of intense
FYP-
ing, I'm resting at home now. Feels good to wake up a bit later and eat proper breakfast, take my own sweet time etc. etc.
Filming at
Kampong Buangkok was really like a mad rush, rushing to load in equipments, rushing to pick up cast, rushing to set up equipments, rushing to dismantle it and transporting it to another part of the village...
At the end of the day, towards night, we're rushing against time before everything gets too dark. We can't use the heavy red heads lights cause
apparently we felt it would short circuit the entire village as it did to the school office. So we got to finish up everything by 7pm.
I kept shouting out the Iris countdown. Iris is a function on camera that you can adjust to brighten what the camera captures or darken. So from a maximum closed Iris of 16, we jumped as time progress to 11, to 9.6, to 8.0, to 5.4!, to 2.4!, 2.0 and a fully open Iris. We finished just on time and it ends our intensive filming days at
Buangkok. Whew.
Yesterday upon reaching home, I do a thorough body examination and counted a grand total of
73 mosquito bites! You can never stay still in a place too long there. 1 minute standing still in a place to hold a camera angle and I
received 8 mosquito bites. Overall, being at
Kampong Buangkok is really like being cut off from the world. Feels like I'm overseas for a few days. Miss Iggy
alot too. Great sigh of relief..................tomorrow, back to school to do post production- editing. Man!
