Tak Dong Cheng actors

I shall keep on saying this over and over again...I love TDC's actors. They are the best. People did ask me to create a bloopers clip for fun. But... I cant make a bloopers clip because there's not much bloopers!! There was only one: where Chris was about to hit Yazid with a slipper. The scene wasn't perfect so I shouted CUT. But Chris continued to hit Yazid on the head with the slipper anyway. Hahahaha.

Other than that, we only had more than one take because we wanted to perfect the dialogue, improve the emotions and get the scene right. TDC actors are THAT professional. I did not even have to remind them about continuity - everyone knows what their positions were in the previous scene.

If there's anyone out there looking for actors for short films, etc, I recommend TDC cast. It was enjoyable working with them. They portrayed their characters magnificently, expressed emotions with ease and dialogues sounded natural. I am lucky to have met them.

*Pls leave a comment and tell me what you think of the actors' performances in TDC. The fine talents can refer to your feedback and improve. thks.

TDC first screening




Saturday, 16 August 08. It was time for Tak Dong Cheng 's first screening for cast and crew. A few guests had been invited too.

I was nervous as there were many questions running thru my head. Will people turn up and is there enough sitting room for everyone? Will they enjoy TDC? Will the team be able to pull off our screening event smoothly? Jas came over to my place the nite before for a long and sleepless nite. We collected the Hi-Fi set from Isnor, pasted DVD covers as well as printing & cutting the labels so that our cast will have a copy of TDC to bring home. Yes, yes, it was all last minute and we should only blame ourselves when we came to the venue in zombie mode.

Things did not go smoothly at the beginning. It was raining. Our sound system refuse to work properly during the first few minutes of TDC. Luckily we had subtitles. Things did go underway and people's laughs and claps gave an indication that they enjoyed TDC. It totally made my day and made all the team's efforts worthwhile. Even the QnA with director and actors was fun. One such question was.. do we have future projects. With such a wonderful crowd, of course we will think of something!! :)

*If you have seen TDC, pls comment on wat you thought of the story. thks.
