GAME ON!
Posted on 05.24.10 to Photography, Work by JoanGAME ON! is a new sports reality show that features 12 teens competing in various sports challenges every week. This is my latest television project, one that I worked very hard on. The super fun bits of it was working on the photographs, of course.
Episode 1 premiered tonight, which had the teens doing a high ropes course at the MegaZip Adventure Park, knee-hang catch at the trapeze and a swimming relay.
Preparing for the show, I did try out almost all the games, which was good fun, but not so good with my fear of heights. I took a good half an hour to finish the ropes course and was massively stuck at one point, and really just wanted to drop down and die. I was swinging all over the place and clutching onto the ropes so tightly, my knees had big bruises from the ordeal. When I finally completed it, tourists who were waiting to go down the zip and were watching me struggle, applauded!
On the trapeze, my legs were shivering so badly I had no energy to hook them up onto the bar to perform the knee hang. Obviously I declined going up again. But it provided such good drama and tension on the show, it was my favourite challenge of all.
And the swimming segment was made all the more exciting with national swimmer, Parker Lam, as a guest. He had every single female who was on set, reduced to giggles as we tried very hard not to drool at his supremely well sculpted body. He also has a super nice personality, is very polite, smart (scholarship at Stanford) and is this year’s Cleo’s Eligible Bachelor.
There are many more fun and exciting challenges ahead, so do catch GAME ON! every Sunday, 8pm on Super Sports Arena (Ch 201).

Yves (cameraman) and myself, spent a day with other teens with cool hobbies, to shoot some footage for transitions and the show open. We met with skateboarders, a parkour kid and a breakdancer. We actually wanted to feature a BMX rider too, but the weather was miserable when we wanted to shoot, even the day after.
Yes, we shot the transitions on the 5DMKII. That camera rules!
Love the hair!
