We needed the film to be dynamic and full of energy, so we didn’t want to limit (the director) Simon’s creative freedom by asking him to lock off any cameras. Just shoot it how you want and we will make it work. Of course, we kept a close eye during the rooftop shots, just in case he decided to shoot on Super 8 or take the freedom a little too far! We supervisor on set throughout.

In typical Bangkok style, the second location was inundated with lots of cables, which we went on to remove in post. On the first take, the drone got tangled and crashed. Cue replacement drone…

But an unruly drone wasn’t the only challenge. The female badminton player did, indeed, have a prosthetic leg, but the client was keen for it to have a more mechanical aesthetic. So, we needed to create a CG leg, remove her existing leg and replace it with ours – all amidst moving talent, free moving cameras, no clean plates… and a ten day deadline. Phew!
