Sometimes it is good to use the Video on the Leica to show everyone the shot we are doing

Joey hangs up his phone ,,,, and get in for a closer look ,,,,,,, He IS Thinking ,,,( I hope my tyres look better than the cardboard cut outs ,,,,,,, I hope they dont ask me to make the Teddy Bear into a Baby ,,,, I think I will make them put more tracking marks on the Green Screen )

More of the same ,,, Take a break while the boys mark up the greenscreen

Its about now we realized that we wouldnt have the promised greenscreen overlay capabilitys we thought we would have ,,,,,,,,,

Pratap is thinking " I am glad I changed it from 3 babies to 1 baby ,,,, This is going to take forever "

Zac is Thinking " Oh boy this will send us over budget "

Gribs is thinking "Better get on with it instead of looking at the Guy with the red shirt ,,, listening to the computer "

Shivaaji is thinking " Is that guy in the red shirt listening to the computer ? "


Pratap is thinking " Wow I am glad I changed it from 3 kids to 1 "

We are all thinking ,,,,,,,,, This could take all night ,,, better start shooting ,,,"



Shivaaji it trying to show us how the Teddy Bear should sit ,,,,,, instead of having the computer overlay ,,,, He he
The Greenscreen shooting is always so Exciting ,,, isnt it ?

OHHH Now we will actually have to shoot something ,,,,,

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 ...
