...so to speak.
That artsy piece right there *points of image above* was the
outcome of just one out of many
creative - sometimes freaky - things our faithful, hardworking
crew members came up with when going through their
breaks in between takes.
Well, other than
desperately trying to stay warm and
not get hypothermia, of course.
That's just what's bound to happen when you try
shooting beach scenes, at the beach (d-duh!),
at the very peak of winter.
But that was exactly what we did!
And, thank God, we
survived, frostbite-free. *winks*
FYI, when shooting their parts, the cast members had to wear
conventional Indonesian high-school uniforms. You know, the usual white shirt and the gray, ruffly skirt
?
We all know for a fact that other than being universally-known as
extremely dull and uncool as far as teenage fashion goes, this
infamous white-and-gray ensemble also lacks enough provision of
the adequate level of protective warmth needed to survive
the gloomy days of winter. It certainly is
a far cry from the kind of stuff one would normally wear to ward off
frosty winter chills and the like.
Go figure.
For your
point of comparison, this was what
our crew members typically bundled themselves up in.
And this was what
our main actresses had to wear during their scenes.
Yeah. That really
puts things into perspective doesn't it?
Can you imagine how
COLD and FREEZING they must've felt?
Where are those
fancy wool coats and
portable heaters when you need them?
But no, not even once did they complain. They went through their scenes
professionally, regardless of
the extremely unwelcoming weather. Their only
shield against the chill was
a bright-blue towel that crew members wrapped around them whenever they finished doing a scene. That, and
the occasional sudden presence of a spare jacket, sometimes provided by fellow crew members as a token of
genuine kindness, at other times possibly
seized by force. *laughs*
"Am I holding this light-reflecting device thingy right?"
Oh,
a random fact: We even came across
a stray jellyfish!
Poor thing wanted to join the shoot, perhaps?
You may not make the cut for the movie, not so we hope, but we're putting you up here! :)
At the end of the day, it all wasn't so much about how
perfect the resulting shots were as it was about how important and memorable
all the little moments that happened in between were to all of us personally.
The
experiences we gained are just
priceless.
And
we mean that. Sincerely.
There you go, fellas.
Enough said. *smiles*
And yeah.
We do hope
the actual stuff you'll all get to see in the screening will be as
good as we really want them to be.
We've put our hearts into trying to make this movie
a memorable and meaningful experience for you guys, and we hope we'll be able to achieve our targets and
get the messages across.
