 Production Challenges

During the filming of our music video, we encountered several challenges that tested our endurance and adaptability:

1. Fasting During Ramadan: Since we were both fasting, we experienced dizziness and fatigue, especially after a long two-hour drive to the location. The shoot took place during the day, under the sun, when the weather was relatively moderate.

2. Managing Time for Prayers and Iftar: We had to carefully schedule our shoot to ensure we could pause for prayers and break our fast on time.

3. Heavy Traffic: While returning home, we faced significant traffic congestion as it coincided with office closing hours, making the commute back more exhausting.

4. Unexpected Wildlife Encounter: A wild monkey near our set posed a threat and even attempted to harm us. Fortunately, my mother and some locals intervened, helping us stay safe.

5. Temple Location Issue: One of our planned shoot locations was a temple, but upon arrival, we found it closed due to ongoing construction work. After speaking with the owner, we were granted permission to access the rooftop to capture a few shots.

6. A Friendly Surprise: A cat accompanied us throughout the shoot. It was so friendly and adorable that we decided to include it in a lip-syncing scene, adding an unexpected but delightful touch to our video.
