Tribute to people that work hard to make this a great show....without them..it will just be another show...TED ADNAN for the great photo, Abg Halim....for all the steady shot, Zul for great insert, Cik Kamal for superb Audio, Adi lah for Caya assistant...making everything cukup rasa, Ady Bear...wa cayalu....great asisst in making the show...complete...and Fatan for making the story and visual...meleleh, and merecik for the audience....
Make sure or ur host understand what u want from them. Please take time to brief to them scene by scene, walk by walk, Don't expect them to figure what's in your head. Tell them where the camera is position, when to walk, when to talk to the camera and please don't ever forget to ask them to enjoy themselve and please smile....sometime they intend to forget. Tense and daze will show on tv... esp when ur on camera.
Please make sure when you employ a host or talent.. they are not candle queen, or water pump...hosting a travel show... u need to spend most of the time under sun, and travelling under hot weather, or maybe taking a public transport. If not we don't call it a travel show. This picture were taken under the hot sunny afternoon in Bangkok in front of the Grand Palace. Make sure they don't over sweat...or over sun burn...
Please be aware that your host is also human being. Sometime crowd can kill the host mood if they are still new. An experience host will work better under preassure. Teman Crew not the Host works better when we enjoy the moment. Don't Rush, Don't Panic if not your host will start to swallow her word, that will make us lose the moment...
PLACE TO GO.
Siam Niramit is a place to be.. if u dig a performance, art...a superb place in middle of busy bangkok. Getting the right shot and making sure the audience get to see from our point of View. The crew enjoyed the show... we love the surrounding...
I realise long before i jump into this bandwagon of producing...thingy..it's not all about me... it's all about the TEAM...Teman 2 Team works well together...Adi Bear will take care all the script and detail...without all the key people...Teman 2 will not be what u see... on TV...script and running order is the most important thing that u need in a tv production...by the time u finish an episode...my running order would be lunyai... and i have to steal from the host for my guide....
Sometime Checking the weather is my priority, if i need to shoot a long scene...that require a lot of take... i need to make to make a better judgement how long i have before the weather change...if i have 15 minutes to shoot... i need to shoot it fast and furious... if not i'll take it slow and steady...
In the process of making teman 2...some cool people do take part spontaneously.. Grandpa Paparazi...from Italy... always sneak on us recording us with his small dv camera...maybe some sweet memory about who he meet in Pangkor Island...
Full set of crew working hard getting the Host Link Perfect. If host is under sun... so do we.. Pangkor Laut Beach Resort. Nice white sandy beach...

It's not easy climbing Bukit Tabur...Kena angkat tripod sikit punya tinggi...
Location Down Town Cheras.
Time: 9.10 pm
Weather : Drizle in 20 Minutes after rolling
Doin host link with a lot of free audience is not easy... traffic and noise level is the bigger challenge. Mel and Bel have to be spontaneous and absorbing the ambient so that can manage the situation. Preasure with pleasure...

Cik Kamal checking the audio level, while Zul and Abg Halim color balancing the 2 panasonic dvx102b.
You need a strong leg to support the camera for a long time, see no tripod...we always make sure that the host get their line by 3 takes... if not the camera crew will get offended. Abg Halim position his accordingly mat rock post. Zul following the action. 2 panasonic dvx102b with 2 wireless sennhieser G2 audio device.
It's not easy to start a new season, a new episode, getting the momentum. You can see Mel & Bel is listening to the brief, getting the momentum to host for the first time together. Ady bear ready for the que.
Two unit with a team of 8 travel together for 10 weekend together.
2 unit of Panasonic DVX102B travel with us to get us the visual you see on screen.
