I was part of the team that was involved in the technical production of Chipsmore Adventure Land season 1 shot during May 2006. It was run on the concept of an event and not as a TV production. I was in charge of making all the games and props for this event from scratch. Our initial budget and also time frame for this event was cut in half. It took the best part of each day and half the night (normally work from 8 am till 10 pm and at times till 2am or 3am) for 10 whole days straight. We needed more time but the best thing was more props were requested by the director and you cannot imagine what selfish bastard made that decision. Imagine how tired we were and we were also to be the set-up, standby and take down crew. We shot immediately the next day on 3rd May 2006.
On hindsight I conclude that someone was screwing us and it was big and hard and painful. I will definitely remember forever the two guys involved in screwing us. One was a tall skinny yuppie faggot looking rich SOB who thinks the world owes him and the other an ass kissing old SOB who would sell his mother if the price was right.
Anyway there was supposed to be 6 episodes but we did only 5 as we supposedly lost the last one to someone else. It was run differently from what it is now. Then it was 2 teams of 3 kids per episode with each episode having 3 tasks which must be completed and the winner of each episode would go directly to the 6th and last episode to compete with the winners of other episodes. Imagine how many kids were involved. We had a group of "wet nurses" / nanny just to take care of these kids each time. Our episodes were shot at
1) Desa Water Park (episode 1 on day 1 and episode 2 & 3 on day 2)
2) Zoo Negara (episode 4 in a day after 2 or 3 day rest)
3) Genting Winter Wonderland (episode 5 in 1 day. I think we finished shooting on 9th or 10th May 06)
