Mr. Singapore 1974 was not the final year project we started out with, but it punctuates a road filled with hardships, matched by our grit. What started out as a story about a young soldier learning to grieve with the aid of his grandfather, instead turned into one about the communication between grandfather, grandson, and the significance of being remembered. This FYP report takes an introspective look at this year-long adventure from the first kernel of an idea to the post-production, not only being upfront with the challenges and shortcomings but also eureka moments when elements of the production came together.
