SleepsZZZzzz…..At Anywhere, Anytime
SleepsZZZzzz….That’s what most film-crews missed when we were out shooting at unearthly hours before sunrise. The effect of lacking a good sleep had left us feeling stoned and sometime causes stupok situations to arise.
Therefore, to avoid getting the side effects or at least lessen the stupok situation, we have learned to master the art of napping at anywhere, anytime before/after shootings.
At Base camp, before we start the day at 4am, we usually have only about 2 hours of sleep (Yes…only 2, you can count with your fingers…1….2…) if we stay up late to pack equipments or chitchats. Therefore, to gain more rest, we will be asleep on the production vehicle or taxi when making our way to the shores.
And as the sun rises marking the end of shooting for the day, everybody feels tired. And guess what? The next minute, you will find hammocks hanging from trees to trees. Those without one will be seen lying down on the benches or simply sleep sitting down.
Yah, and one more way where you can find us sleeping is on the boat away from/back to mainland. This despite all the boat's rocking and swaying. Here’s a demonstration by Alvin;

And of course, at the end of the day, we still get to shut down for longer hours before the start of the next morning trip. ZZZZZZZzzzzzz.......

Pity I didn't get a shot of the Master of Sleeping in action (or rather in InAction), that is, Mr Low KL. But Alvin does a good demo of how to catch those elusive Zzss...
When he next comes out with us the chance will surely be there to get a shot of the Master!
