In my memory, up to now, the greatest shoot is the one which was happened in Kyrgyzstan in year 2018. When I got the concept from the director, I realized that the location should be in a mysterious place with combination culture as the concept was about “No boundary art”, it encouraged the people to reconsider what they want, what is their intention and how to make it true, so I started to do some online research with the director. It was so lucky that we got some suggestions from a professional scouting manager and found that Kyrgyzstan might be the suitable place for the shoot. After that, we went for a recce. To be honest, before recce, I only got some information from website and t the local vendor, so Kyrgyzstan was an enigma at that time. When I arrived the location, I had got a big surprise as it was really a stunning place with beautiful natural sightseeing and full of the nomad character. We invited some modern dancer to perform in the video, it was amazing when the modern dance met the nomad, it looked like the mix of new generation and traditional, east and west. The whole crew felt exciting due to that it was a breakthrough and perfect match. On the other hand, during the shoot, we met the Typhoon, it was super windy, we could not finish our previous shooting plan, the director changed the idea promptly and make use of the wind to create some new shot, it looked cool and fantastic. Finally we made it. That was a memorable experience to the crew. And another surprising to us that the video has been official selection at LA fashion film festival. We all proud of that.
