00:11 - Hi, I'm Ji Xiang, the art director
00:13 for Mao Bat Missy Bakara.
00:15 I can say in Malaysia, I think it's the biggest shoot.
00:18 Bakara is considered a Malaysia war movie.
00:24 Definitely is a fresh and challenging project
00:27 for me and the crews.
00:29 We did studies a lot of structures, measurements,
00:34 history of our Mao Bat.
00:36 Actually the difficulty of working with overseas crews
00:40 is the working culture.
00:41 First, their working system is different from us.
00:44 We need to spend some time to digest all the things
00:47 and of course the language barrier.
00:49 Cutting the APC is one of the tasks on this project.
00:53 We got a lot of interior shots,
00:55 so we need to cut the APC to put the camera inside.
00:58 - Move, move, move, move!
01:01 - Original Mao Bat base, we gonna set at open space in KL.
01:06 Due to the bad weather, we have to shift the whole set
01:10 to Iskandar studio in JB.
01:12 We having total of 80 crews to working in the studio
01:16 with countless of sand trucks, construction vehicle
01:19 to lay the sand to create the base camp
01:22 is like on the middle desert.
01:24 We were facing logistic and transportation issue
01:27 from the beginning, but eventually,
01:30 thanks for the cooperation of MINDEF Malaysia
01:32 to refurbish and restore,
01:34 turn the abandoned APC to life again.
01:37 The hit is coming, it's gonna be a big movie, stay tuned.
