Update of location scout today, filming on Sunday Night
4th August 2006
11:34 PM


Went down to scout location today at Ali's Dad's warehouse. Its quite an appropriate place overall, not to mention pretty interesting too. I just hope we won't lose credibility as people remember it as the Blinded warehouse location. I filmed and took a hell lot of pictures. I can more or less visualize how I want to set up the scenes and all that kind of stuff. Will probably begin detailed storyboard and choreography very soon. I subsequently went back home and edited script after a long ass 2 hour ++ MRT & bus ride. This revised script is more or less 'improved'... I think... With many of the plot holes are plugged and new twists added (Maybe a bit too many). With the addition of these new twists, I only fear the film will get too intense, complicated, and complex in the span of 10 minutes to the extent that too many twists lose their effect or the audience becomes overtly confused. I'm trying to avoid either though the fundamental question of how Elsa knows how to plant a friggin huge bomb and kill 4 triad thugs in a small room remains unsolved...


Anyhow, for this Sunday's filming, everyone please head down to Ivan's Place at 6:00 PM. His address is 81 Greenfield Drive. I'm hoping that we'll be done by 9:00 PM or so. Maybe latest it'll drag on until 10:00 but I strongly doubt and hope not.


For other rehearsals, main actors, please do try to be free on the 8th & 9th (Tuesday & Wednesday) next week for an ESSENTIAL script reading session. Some of you have never even came for a SINGLE script meeting, so please do try your very best to come next week. We CANNOT just improvise on Friday/Saturday itself. We need to run through at the very minimum one or two rehearsals. In fact, doing just one or two readings so close to the actual shoot is cutting it extremely close. Speaking of which, I hope ya'll aren't that patriotic to be free on National Day. Just try to come for as long as possible. It'll most probably be at my place on both days.


For all other crew and cast like SWAT and Triads, please do pop by my class at any time before/after school, recess, lunch (I don't go for recess or lunch) for a short briefing by me and to select your costume. Despite having organized several meetings over the past few weeks, some of you have not come for a single one at all. That kinda' pisses me off. Oh well... What to do?


With regards to the food/transport fees, please pass the money to either Dickson or me personally. We need to pay a deposit for both transport and food before they'll agree to cater to us so please do try to pay up ASAP. Once again, as it is $3 per meal and there are 3 meals (2 dinners & one lunch), please do try to donate at least $10. Food is going to cost minimally $400 ++ (Excluding delivery charges & drinks) and transport at least $260 ++ (They charge extra for night charters).


Although it may not seem like it, collecting money from all of you pains me greatly as I've prided myself on paying for the cost of each film personally and not forcing any cast or crew to cover any of the production costs. Unfortunately, because of my very very very dire financial situation, I cannot afford to do so again for this film. However, if any of you vehemently object to paying and would not like to donate for any reason whatsoever, I'm honestly totally cool with that. What's more important is that you be available on the 11th and 12th of August. On that note, any of you who are busy or have any other things happening partially or fully on either of the days, please let me know in advance! Thanks.


To end of today, I just want to announce that the BLINDED Trailer is online and available HERE. As usual, it'll be added as a permanent fixture to our sidebar.


That's all I have for now. Please keep me posted if anything. Thank you.
