Before it all goes horribly wrong...

...make sure you have nice people like the guys at the Parkroyal to take care of you. Yes, that was the location of our shoot today, up on the sixth floor where the Parkroyal Grill opens out to a gorgeous verandah overlooking the city and surrounded by high-rises.

During the shoot a sudden gust of wind lifted a piece of camera equipment and took it over the edge. It landed miraculously on the fabulous feature awning/entry roof at the front of the hotel. Unfortunately it being made of glass, it cracked.

Let me assure you all that every precaution was taken with safety, it's just that we didn't foresee that winds could actually lift the equipment up and over the edge!

But with the kind and courteous staff on hand at the Parkroyal, the matter was soon settled, and we are very grateful to Ravin the Duty Manager and his staff.


So, those of you who guessed Sungei Wang, oh, so close. The other clue was about the garden bit - park, garden - you get the picture.



Today we had Khir Rahman begin his first day of shoot along with Stephen. Khir's character is Amran, who plays the Malaysian equivalent to Stephen's Dick Johnson (does that sound weird?)

Funny fact: Both Khir and Stephen starred as the lead male singers in large-scale musical productions in the first few months of 2006. Who'd've thunk they'd be each other's foils in this movie? (Brilliant casting if you ask me)


More tomorrow on the movie's goings-on.
