Mr Camera Man and the sound man!
The host and the producer of the program Irin Putri from TV3. Irin has communicated with me since early last year for this project. I am so glad that we finally did it! Thank you Irin!
How can a show on sun bear without sun bear? Here is Kuamut posting on her role in the program!
Irin is making an enrichment toy for one of the sun bear at BSBCC.
Interviewing Wai Pak, the project manager of BSBCC. Wai Pak is by far the most important person and dedicated staff of BSBCC who make this project possible.
We also did a health check on Fulung and Bongkud when we sedated and moved them from the old bear house to the new bear house.
After four days of filming around the clock, we finally took enough footages of the program. Here are the TV3 and BSBCC’s crews at the observation platform after the final shot.
