behind the scenes at the bra shop

These were taken at the bra shop 3 days ago, where curious onlookers would stop to watch Edwin Sumun play a bra shop owner in dire straits.



The Director Afdlin Shauki, Second Assistant Director Shima and Actor Adlin Aman Ramlie debate the finer points of relaxing in front of a tv monitor in a public place. Behind the Director is Asraff, our Art Director.


















Not only is he bald and beautiful, he can be copper-coiffed, glitter-stylo and peer like a turtle at you from behind those seductive glasses... By the way, he will be in Vision Works' next run of Actorlympics in the first week of June 2006.










Here, Edwin prepares for a take, with the Director of Photography Helmi in the chair behind the camera. Surrounding him are the essential, well-oiled team called the tech crew.













Once a can of film is exposed, it needs to be taken out of the camera and loaded into a can in complete darkness. If the film gets exposed to any light at all, the image on the film would be double-exposed. If we were to develop it, it would probably look like a flash or go very pale from the extra light. So this is our Film Loader, seen here loading film in a light-proof bag. If you have ever seen "Loader" in the credit titles, and wondered what it meant, now you know.


SO if you see a guy putting his hands into a bag and fiddling for about 2 minutes while he unrolls the film from one reel to another, then puts it safely into a can before sealing it tight to make sure no light creeps in through holes... he ain't fiddling, he's got hot property in his hands.












Some of our crew, Make Up and Wardrobe girls Shada and Aida on the left and our Third Assistant Director Shifa on the Right. The job can't be done without any of these crucial personnel!











And what good is a Production Assistant who isn't having fun? Smiles all round make a better day! And with a smile like Faiz's nothing can go wrong.



Thanks to the great shop owner and staff for letting us use their premises and being so patient. If you like what you see in the shop, head on down to the Mall to check it all out.
