Katong Dreaming of Tau Huay
Note to future groups: Please take note that it's not very nice to ask your actors to pay for the cab fare if they're not from your group. Just a thought. Ri's group was great. They didn't want me to pay.
Also, it is vital that you choose nice places to film. Having locations that are recognisably CS isn't exactly thought-provoking or interesting. It will merely highlight the amatuerism of your film. For example, Amanda's group chose to shoot in Katong, which came through for the group because a lot of the shoot's location were stumbled upon by accident or chance. Great colours, Providence supplied nice people, and I found the Rochor Tau Huay's little outpost there.
Another thing to note is props. These will be essential for anyone who wants to make their film stand out. My group only seems to have the Ken Doll (thanks be to Shixiong) and maybe Phoebe's all-white get-up. Hopefully they work out for the film. I'm starting to feel a bit fearful after looking at Amanda's filmshoots they've got costumes, colourful umbrellas and walls, as well as willing sisters and helpful supportive mothers. Likewise with seeing Shannon's.
Leigh's group chose to shoot along the Singapore River and one of the problems she let me know was about the bystanders, some of whom intentionally wanted to kajiao their shoot. So have big, burly bouncers guard your shoot if you can.
Lovely Umbrella Ghosts,
