DIRECT FROM MELBOURNE: A 20-strong team consisting of cast and crew members of Channel 8’s The Dream Makers 2 flew to the land of kangaroos to film certain key scenes in the 32-episode drama series for two weeks in September. And Toggle was part of the entourage from start to finish: we got to breathe the same air, sleep under the same roof, and had equally early call times too – but that’s another story for another day.
For this week’s special ‘Dream Makers 2’ #throwbackthursday series, we have Romeo Tan, the drama’s unofficial BTS (behind-the-scenes) photographer who is never seen without a camera, during his free time, at the set in Australia. Most times, he can be found waiting (or squatting) in a corner snapping away at his co-stars and the crew as they toil.
His love for photography has spurred him to capture all sorts of memories with his camera, quipped Romeo. There are ‘mood’ and scenery shots, including candid pictures -- some of which can be found in our LIVE blog gallery from the trip too.
“I took these photos because it’s part of my interest and decided to share my photos for everyone’s use,” the budding photographer shared, “I don’t need to be credited for it, but I feel people are able to learn about our filming process from my photos and that makes me happy.”
Another good thing that came out from Romeo’s trigger-happy tendencies?
Breaking the ice with the veterans on set – we saw how he and Ah Jie bonded over selfies and photo-taking in Melbourne, including this picture we took of Zoe hiding behind Romeo at Hosier Lane because she was not dressed up yet.
