Los Dan Faun: A Production Diary: Krumania

A bit more on our crew, but first, a bit more on our shoot.

Last night we were shooting at the Rest Relax Reflex store in Sri Hartamas, where we took over a lovely reflexology place and turned it into mayhem! Thank you to the kind owners for their patience. If you're looking for a nice place to have a great foot massage, that's the place to go. You may eventually recognise the reflexologists while you're having your massage - because they were in the movie giving real massages to the actors while they were shooting the scene.

One such reflexologist had to deliver a couple of lines - and he gave it good! You will see him when the film comes out - he's the one torturing Faun (Adlin Aman Ramlie).

Here Ida and Stephen rehearse their scene while waiting for camera set up.

Here the crew tumpangs the Director's photo (L-R: Pali (Camera Team), Afdlin (Director), Aida (Wardrobe), Amir (Wardrobe Asst), Anne (Public Relations or PRAP)

Here are Lan of the Technical Camera Crew and Asraff, our Art Director.

Here Pali (Assistant Cameraman) changes the film magazine (the oval can that holds the roll of film) after the film runs out. Pali is always by DOP Helmi's side, measuring the distance from the subject (actor or object) to the lens to determine the focus. Because the focus of the lens is done manually by someone (Pali) who is not looking through the lens, he has to do it by the numbers.

Here is our equipment van, which is like a mini store. Next to it, our three PA's, Shah, Awang and Syawal.

Here is Frank looking more relaxed as the night goes on, and our Stills Photographer, Darling (which is what we call each other when we don't know each others' names).
