Went Harry Potter™: The Exhibition few days back and saw some Mediacorp filming!
Saw the filming of a scene for Poetic Justice 微笑正仪 with Dai Yang Tian 戴阳天 and Desmond Tan 陈泂江 in it.
Very simple scene - boy knocks into a lady, grandpa helps to say sorry on his behalf, lady totally outraged and start yelling then even pushing the grandpa, then the two young men appear to help, then lady raises hand to slap DYT but ends up slapping DT.
AND IT TOOK A FRIGGING HOUR. Actually even more, because when we noticed them, they were in the midst of filming, not setting the equipment up and stuff. Now I can fully appreciate the work all these crew go through just for a scene. They had to keep changing angles from which they film so as to give different POVs when the full thing comes out. And this is not even considering NGs made due to the director's dissatisfaction with the work the actors and actresses present. Hats off man. Like this is not even considering the fact that they would have to end up going back to the studio and edit and all that.
That day was a real eye-opener. To a different kinda world, a world that we have only viewed from our television sets. I wish I could have the chance to really get such a close up view of the workings of different kinds of job, just to decide what I wanna do with my life cuz I got no idea T.T I mean the stuff I am interested in, is either impossible or most probably will become boring soon enough and I will become disinterested. That would totally suck.
Pictures!
