The shoot yesterday at Kuala Selangor for my new (yet untitled) short film was a success. Started out a few hours later than anticipated (... seriously need a production manager in the future), but managed to finish way ahead of schedule.
Shoot was really smooth, but towards the end, poor Li Hui, our 7-year-old main actress started crying. Film shoots can be quite boring and stressful for a child, even if working with a director who barely raises his voice like me. Will have to prepare a DS for her tomorrow, perhaps. Or comics.
All the photos were taken by Han.
This is the place where we shot everything yesterday. 3 generations of Malay family live here and they were really nice and easygoing. I felt REALLY bad that I shot dining scenes in front of them while they were fasting :(
Main actress Li Hui was disapproving my dictatorial directing methods.
I lost one of my newer Chinese paper fans in Tokyo, but was happy to bring my old one along to this shoot (I'm never without a paper fan during shoots)

It was an insanely hot day. Good thing she has a little fan. (Li Hui's accompanied by her mom, Auntie Mei Ling)

Ming Jin and Lesly on the boat preparing to shoot. Me and the three Greenlight Pictures interns.
The obligatory Kimmy angsting scene
Mending fishing nets
