this is how we do it!

This is an entry from my blog. Like this la we have fun!!

See all them smiley sleepy faces!


5 weeks of prep... 2 days of shoot... Malaysia... Dubai... Lebanon... France... Philippines... Egypt... Jordan... coming together for 1 campaign to make women beautiful. we went global!! Grueling but great fun. Started out with rankings from Client, Agency, Production Personel to Crews... ended with just one title... FRIENDS :D


From left : Wissam, our Film Director from Beirut. Brian C, Malaysia's finest Asst. Director and very promising young Director. Tanya, our Client Servicing from Jordan/Dubai.

Wissam's a funny one. Doesnt talk much but his one liners can leave you laughing like a hyena.


Me (Madame Bitch) with Samer (pronounced SUMMER and not SAMIR ~ he's anal about the pronunciation), producer from Dubai. We irritate the crap out of one another. "Chill Samer!! CHILL!!!!" hahaahhaha


Sarah, the sexy Agency Producer from Lebanon/Dubai.

Tanya, the sweet Accounts Executive / Client Servicing.

These 2 babes were mistaken as our models initially. Can you blame us? We were talked about for having the best looking Agency clients for the year of 2007. Every male on set wanted to bring them home to meet Mama. Don't be fooled by their pretty looks though. In a meeting room dominated by men, their voices were heard the most. Girl Power!!!

Shoot went on fine.. all except for the part where the talents had to be veiled up for the Saudi version. Here's why.....

Took us 3 hours to get it right! So what do we do in the meantime? We mucked around of course...

Auntie Steven, our Asst. Wardrobe stylist sms-ing away. Shan, getting a tan by the 4k PAR light. Alvin, our DOP checking his 4D lottery results and Muthu, our CHAMPION craft servicing Director fervently calling home to see if his wife gave birth.

What else was there to do???!!!!

Oh speaking of Muthu the Champs, I can't help but post the following pictures. Craft Servicing is no easy job... He made sure we had chairs to sit on, tables to eat from, waters aplenty, bins to litter in and of course, mozzie repellents so we all don't die of dengue fever.... Our motto is "NO MUTHU, NO GO"

He's a darling... so, Alex the Soundman, it wasn't very nice of you to give him THAT magazine to read from! He's a married man for crying out loud!!!

Yes... it was 36 hours of pure adrenaline fun. Thank you all for a great shoot!! Now just waiting for Tanya to email me the pix of our wrap party. I was DRUNK out of my mind... of course :)
