Shooting a badminton documentary

Panorama shot of my film set

Over the past few weeks, I have alluded to a badminton documentary that I've been working on. For this documentary, we have traveled around the country, and even going to Singapore, interviewing many people, including Tun Dr. Siti Hasmah, wife of the former Prime Minister Dr. Mahathir, numerous badminton heroes of different eras etc. Peggy Loh also described extensively in her blog about one of the interview shoots we did with her uncle, Roland Ng.

Yesterday, it was time for us to shoot the reenactments of a long-ago tournament covered extensively in my documentary.





Ah, spent an entire day in a badminton court. Didn't play badminton. #directingadocumentary

Here are some photos and videos taken yesterday by various cast and crew members of the shoot!

It was difficult to replicate the playing styles of great badminton heroes of the 40s and 50s, but we tried.
