The journey of creating “Ha - A Lighthearted Short Film” has been unexpectedly rewarding as we shifted from planning to shoot in Dalat, Vietnam, to ultimately settling on the serene beauty of Sekinchan, Malaysia. Unlike the other two films, Ha stands out as the only production that integrates both local and international productions, incorporating Motion Graphics and Video Special Effects as well. Interestingly, this was my first venture into producing a short film, and the entire experience has left a profound impact on me, igniting a desire to explore my role as a Producer further. It has also inspired me to consider pursuing a career as a Producer in the future. “Crossing Customs: A Producer’s Journey” is a Final Year report that comprehensively present the intricacies of our overseas production journey, spanning from the meticulous planning in the Pre-Production phase to the intricate details of Post-Production. It will offer the Producer's perspective, emphasising the team's dedication and professionalism throughout each phase of the project.
