Shhhh......


As i sit down to have my lunch the urge to start posting on my page which has been on for a while suddenly poked me really bad, against my initial thoughts of launching this page with my experience on this production i am working on... i cant wait any longer,though what i will let out will be very minimal.

I have been priviledged to be involved in a production i will consider to be the biggest, and most complex in terms of budget,schedulling and direction i can assure you that it is also the biggest i have ever been involved in because it has never been done before.. in Nigeria, West Africa.

The unfortunate thing is that i cant talk about the details now, but i have a lot to pass on to YOU.

Let me say right at the start that none of what we achieved would have been possible without the most incredible and committed team that has been excellently and patiently selected, i say this not because i was part of the selecting/negotiating team but because this team has proven so despite the fact that none of them have done anything close to this they are all previledged to be the pioneers of this kind of production in Nigeria.

What we did is a reamarkable achievements given the constriants and the fact that it seems everything is working against us from bad pictures, bad studio sound proof,actors and crew members finding it diffcult to adhere strictly to the "Crazy" call time of 0600HR and by Nigeria standard it is crazy but owingto the nature of the genre of the production we have to make sure that we start the day early enough to achieve what the 1st AD has scheduled for the day.

Like i said ealier there is a lot to share on this production for new comers and also for the old blocks if only to have an idea of how things work in this environment.
