ON LOCATION - JANDA BAIK

Shooting during these uncertain months of the monsoon (damn the greenhouse effect) can really get to you as a filmmaker - especially when you have a deadline to meet.
Whilst we were in Janda Baik, rain played havoc on our schedule. From 4 pm onwards, shooting was near impossible, but we did manage to shoot one night scene. It came pouring and pouring and pouring. right until the next morning and then it starts again in the late afternoon.
Dang!!!
Nevertheless, we got to complete and wrap the shoot by Thursday afternoon.
Below are some of the pics from the location.

The stream in front of my family house - Harmony. It soothes the mind, but may get nasty during downpours.

Harmony, the family home in Janda Baik.

We stayed at my good friend's resort Pokok Impian which is right behind Harmony - our family home.

On the second day, at calltime, there was a hiccup with the water mains. So the crew decided that its time for 'mandi sungei'.
