We shot a short film this past Saturday called The Blue Elephant. It's about a boy who is looking for a special Christmas gift for his father when the shopkeeper suggests an unusual "special item" - a Blue Elephant stuffed toy. The father didn't seem impressed, until he accidentally found out the special power of this unusual present.
It was a busy and tiring day as we had a very rushed schedule shooting at 2 locations - the Salvation Army Thrift Store at Upper Bukit Timah and my colleague's home in Clementi. This film is part of the 2 week short film production training that I've been helping out and teaching at. At this shoot, the students from around Asia had a chance to witness and learn from the staff as they produced the film. In the next 2 days, they will then shoot their own short film, edit it, and screen it on Friday night - the last night of their training. Very exciting, and very tiring. I think that the course should be renamed Short Film Production Boot Camp instead... but maybe people will be too afraid to sign up if we call it that.
I don't know when we will be doing another course... maybe next year. One thing for sure though, we'll be saying goodbye to 2 of the staff when their internship ends at the end of this year...sob sob :(
