Operation TBT

Last Sunday, we embarked on a "publicity stunt" codenamed Operation TBT. Our TRUTH BE TOLD standees ended their run at GV Plaza and GV Vivo. If we don't bring them back, GV will throw them out with the trash.

Of course we wanted them back! Our hard-earned $$ are in those 4 by 7 feet styrofoam! But we can't fit them into any vehicle we can get our hands on so we thought of the next best solution - walk home with it!

We stay in the city outskirts, so the walk won't take very long. The added advantage is that we're creating free buzz for our movie!

Special thanks to our friend Ai Ping (above) for coming along to execute our crazy idea. At Plaza Singapura, we carried the standee from GV down to the street level via the escalators.

Ai Ping took this beautiful shot - all for LOVE indeed!

I guess our standee frightened away the "cows"

A detour - can't resist a photographic opportunity!

The river crossing...

Almost home...

A final pose at the place where it all started - Block 33 Taman Ho Swee

Into the elevator and finally on to home!

Total hours: Nearly 2! We took a leisurely stroll from Plaza Singapura back to Tiong Bahru and make lots of pitstops along the way to take pictures and rest a little. And it did turn some heads!

On the same night, we brought back the other standee at Vivocity. The journey was longer and less adventurous. I guess we were getting tired and the scenery wasn't as appealing!

But both standees are now safely back home. Operation TBT is a success! The idea may be a little crazy but hey, filmmaking doesn't have to be stressful or depressingly serious all the time. We had fun!
