Just like every other shoot, this was a lot of fun aswell.
We enjoyed ourselves to the fullest and that was simply because we love what we do.
My candid advise to anyone reading this post is, 😏make what you love doing best your money making business.😎
Even though you may want to do it for free most times.🤣
So! Our script points us in the direction of the world famous Lagos Island for a location.🤔
I had my reservations but we have a producer whose optimism shields us from every shade of reality.
Filming on the streets of lagos wouldn’t be a problem if you can pay the street boys some money once and do what you want to do without further disturbance.😒
My problem is when you settle a group of street boys and they leave, some other group of boys can come by requesting for another payment. 🤨
That is the part that really irritates me.
On a sunny Sunday, we set out to film on Lagos Island and everything was cool up until when these boys showed up.😒
One of them yelled out loud “stop shooting now!” I didn’t even act as if I heard anything,😌
One of our security men approached him to have a conversation.
I commenced with the shoot as i noticed the boy held back and watched.
I made sure I took every shot as planned.😏
When I wrapped the scene I was filming before he came, I told my manager to tell him to stay with us till we finish the entire shoot before we settle him and he agreed😒 (you think say you dey wise)😒.
In no time, about 5 other guys joined him.
I was so happy I held back his settlement because he became the one explaining to the others that he was waiting for settlement and that saved us a lot of stress.😝
I wrapped the entire shoot and we settled him as the coordinator of the entire boys and we left.😋
Enjoy the behind the scenes below.
