So now lets Play some More with the Little guy Pratap Get into the Thick of it

Hey Little guy ,,, here is a Nice piece of Plastic ,,,,, Pretend it is a Steering wheel ,,, Brrr brrr ruuummmm ,, get it .


Just put your little fingers around the wheel and Have fun fun fun ,,,


NO NO NO not fun with the Directors Glasses ,,, OoPPPSSS They are bending


Come on nice little guy ,,, give daddy back the glasses ,,, Give u a nice Lolly ,,, Anyone got any sweets ,,,,,


I'll just bend them back into shape ,,,,,,, if only someone had sweeties shaped like glasses ,,



AAAAHHHHH that naughty man took my glasses and wants me to play with this dumb piece of plastic ,,,,, Mummy I want to ring my agent ,,,,



Suri ,,, where is the nearest phone ,,, I need to make a call ,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Pratap is thinking ,,,, Boy we had three kids in the original script ,,,,,,,,,,, How lucky can you be ,,,,

Someone call his agent and get them to do a deal ,,,,,, He He He He .


Well we had successfully finished shooting the Foreground Baby Greenscreen shots ,,,, Next morning we had to find a Good rooftop for the Car flying BG

WE WERE STILL SMILING AT BREAKFAST ,,,,,,,,,

Zac is thinking " I am so glad the baby was very good ,,,,, I think we are still on Budget "

Shivaaji is thinking " I am so glad we dont have to shoot any more baby greenscreen "

Pratap is thinking " I am so glad I changed it from 3 babies to 1 baby in the car "

Gribs is thinking " I am so glad Pratap changed it from 3 babies to 1 baby & we dont have to shoot anymore greenscreen & the kid was good and we are still on budget "



We were taken to a couple of places but the medium level building top offered several different opportunities for a BG for the flying car ,,,,,,,,, So now maybe a late lunch

So Now we were Finished the Recce ,,,, a Great Rooftop to shoot the Last BG Plates ,,

Time for a bit of a walkaround ,,, I sort of knew where we were ,,,,,,, Though we might catch the monarail and walk home ,,,,,,, Mostly walk .....

Just around the corner was this GEM of a location ,,,, a block of old fashoned Flats surrounded by highrise ,,,,, Looks like a set for a movie or TV series ,,,,,, Interesting .
Yes Mate that is MacDonalds ,,,,, Next stop ???

I am SURE they have Vegi Burgers ,,,, do at Home ,,,,, No u cant get out here mate ,,,,, Hang in there ,,,

We got off the Monarail ,,, determined to walk home

I cant believe that The Ship is still open after all these years And WOW I recognised this place from a late night feat a year ago ( GREAT ,, Bak Kut Teh ),,,, next door to THE NEW JINGLEBELLS ,,, what ever that is ..


AFTER Walking around a Bit we found a Veg restaurant only a couple of blocks from the hotel

But no time to try it ,,,,,, Maybe next time ...

We only had one Background plate to do , So with a small camera crew we went to a Building top at Dusk and shot various versions

There were quite a few interesting angles to use for background plates of the Flying Neon Child Driven Car ,,,,,,,,,Flying smoothly on it soft as a cloud Tyres ,,,,,,,,,,, enough said .

Simon Ng carries some of the heavy legs ,,,,,,,,, Andrea was to fast for me to get a shot him carrying the camera ,,,,,,,,,,,
But Sreeram was able to give lots of encouragement ,,,,,, Seriously though ,,, he had been a great help during the production ,,,,,,,,,,,
NIGHT is Here ,,,,,, The Job is Nearly over ,,,,,,,,,,,, OPPPSSSS It was over now . We shot our last 2 rolls ,,, time to go back to the hotel and a COLD beer ,,,,,

Everybody Happy ,,,,, We had done it ,,,,,,, A lucky baby change did help a lot ,,,,, That kid was Fantastic , But now Time to Celebrate

No Pratap is not asking for 4 beers ,,, or giving rude signs ,,,,,,,,, THAT IS THE VICTORY SIGN ,,,,, But Zac and I will have the Cold beer while a Nice cold White for the Boss ,,,,,,,, Lots of talk and Laughs ended the Night and the SHOOT ,,,,,,,,,,,,, As they say ,,, " Thank you linesmen and Ballboys for a Good Game "
