Prepwork for #chopchillichop has been rolling~
This is all relatively new to us: the marketing, the photoshoots, the filming. We were a stripped down, roll-on-the-ground bunch of theatre kids way back then. Transience was bare marketing (we roped in a friend to take photos of us sitting on wooden chairs, had NO idea what we were doing). Oh, and we wore white potato sacks for the performance.
This time, we’re still bumbling around blind as much as usual. But we’re thinking and making plans, and being GRAND with these plans. So, so much thanks to friends who’ve volunteered their services because if left to our own devices, Xin, Ting and Qing would have burned down a building and destroyed a bunch of rented equipment.
Raw BTS shots for our marketing material. You won’t see this in the final products, but basically the shenanigans we were up to. Had to plastic-proof the entire place – the foodie mess after was quite a horror show. If you watch Dexter, it was basically a Dexter massacre… with food.
Beautiful lighting courtesy of lighting director JH. Photo quality credits to Hanshen…’s camera.
Not everything worked out, though. Happy as we look it was pretty damn disgusting having melted watery whipped cream down your bra.
18/6 – FILMING!
Filmed our key videos for the play. YES, there will be film as part of our live performance, with Jem de incredibly talented videographer doing our post-prod editting/concept.
SO THIS HAPPENED. The full damage. Please be around friends, to watch me gorge myself in full make-up. Basically my childhood dream come true?
Weirdest part is that i was filmed while eating. That MukBhang is a thing is very, very strange yet i can fully understand the appeal of watching such videos. Never thought i’d one day attempt to MAKE such a video.
Can’t for y’all to see the final product!!!
Oh dear i’m getting hungry looking at this. HOW AM I NOT TURNED OFF BY FOOD STILL?
We’re only halfway through this journey and i’m already feeling overwhelmed by all the love and support so many people (who are in no way obliged to) have given us. We’ll work hard to give our very best to you guys. <3 Thank you all for bearing with our weird projects.
We secretly think this performance is just an excuse for us to do shambolic things we’ve always wanted to but couldn’t bc of social graces.
