It's going to be me (Rainier), Jes and Sew and we will show you guys a day in a life of a TSL Video Producer from three different perspectives.
It's going to be me (Rainier), Jes and Sew
from the moment we wake up to the moment we go back to sleep.
Hopefully you guys enjoy this.
Time to shower, because I am already late.
I just snoozed like a million times.
I am going to brush my teeth now.
(Gags)
I am going to take 3 buses which will take me about 45 minutes to an hour to reach the office.
To start my day, I always go to my own personal pantry and get some soh tapia (biscuit) and milk tea.
So I just reached the office.
Typically when I reach the office, the first thing I do is
see what the pantry holds
which is the reason why I am gaining weight because TSL is feeding me well.
So what is today's menu? which is the reason why I am gaining weight because TSL is feeding me well.
So what is today's menu?
Don't have my favorite snacks, NOO!
Never mind, I shall settle.
I realized that I actually have my own pantry that contains all my favorite snacks.
Calbee
Chachos
Hello Panda
Another Calbee
I don't really like this but sure.
This was taken before the drought.
so, it's not my fault.
No (very defensively)
Right now I am at Gardens by the Bay
So, why am I here?
Once in a few months, I will hold B-roll lessons for the interns to learn.
We find it essential and it is important for them to get out of the office and go out and shoot.
This B-roll challenge is so common that they (interns) know what to do.
For us it's, we're out of the office
Ya'll (interns) are shooting but where are we going?
We are going to eat Ya'll (interns) are shooting but where are we going?
We are going to eat! Ya'll (interns) are shooting but where are we going?
We are going to eat!
This is our meeting room.
I am setting up the room for a meeting.
(Shouts Meeting)
That's how we usually do it actually.
A day in a life of a Video Producer, I am also a model.
Why did you do that? One more time.
Aside from editing, producing and other tasks
I am also the team's tech team.
Please state the problem
(Lynn) My photoshop cannot open! (Rainier) Laughs
These people waste my time!
Sorry
She said photoshop had a problem but theres no problem. I just open and close (the app)
Yay, also now it's time to buy food.
I am going to be filming a Singaporeans Try later.
This is our equipment area.
Yes, it's a lot of stuff because it's for all our departments and sister companies.
We have to bring all this.
(Starts singing)
I am just going to kang (carry) everything over in one shot.
So we are done setting up for a Singaporean's try episode,
it's like that.
That's right
Our staff are here.
(Starts singing Indiana Jones)
Brenda!
But ya I love your outfits, did ya'll match on purpose?
Every time we have a shoot together, she'll send me a text saying
"I'm wearing this color so wear the same color," Then I'll say "okay".
You make me sound so demanding!
- (Brenda) What color do you want to wear? - (Fauzi) No, You’ll say - (Brenda) I have green - (Fauzi) Ya! See, what the heck?
Bonus content okay - (Brenda) What color do you want to wear? - (Fauzi) No, You’ll say - (Brenda) I have green - (Fauzi) Ya! See, what the heck?
Bonus content okay
3,2,1 Bonus content okay
3,2,1
Wah, I am tired already!
I give up.
Damn pain
Damn pain, I don't want (to do the challenge) already.
Wah, it's damn pain.
Now I can enjoy my meal.
Lunch has arrived.
Yay!
We are done with the first pair, so I am going to get my food now.
(Mumbles)
I am going to bring my food in for this pair
because it's my fellow producers, they'll understand the hunger I am going through.
I will not slurp my noodles, I will eat quietly.
They will not hear my chewing. I will not slurp my noodles, I will eat quietly.
They will not hear my chewing.
Hello!
Hello
Bolin is the second pair.
Bolin, you don't mind right if I eat as you talent.
I haven't eat, I am very hungry.
You know what I am going through right?
Yes! Wah, that's a huge bowl of pasta
It's bigger than your face.
Ya it's true.
Get out!
Okay so now I got a short time window right, we can go see kristy's videos.
I want you to take B-rolls and make a Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich.
Anyways, we are back here in the office and I just briefed them (Interns) how the B-roll challenge is going to turn out.
They have to crack their brains and be creative on how they are going to take a B-roll on that. Anyways, we are back here in the office and I just briefed them (Interns) how the B-roll challenge is going to turn out.

Wah, Intense! Now you know what’s going on in my interns head.
Are you guys ready to be on Singaporeans Try?
Do we have a choice?
No.
Kena by producer.
3,2,1
- (Rainier & Jes) Five - (Sew) The answer is One.
Monumental is a word that comes very close.
No, because I read one by word, word by word.
"One by word,"
(Still laughing at Rainier)
Big words are really hard like 'Monumental' words wah
"Montumental?" Big words are really hard like 'Monumental' words wah
"Montumental?"
What am I doing?
(Music)
So I am going to show you guys what I have been doing for the past few hours.
It's basically the 'We are Singapore' Covid-19 NDP song cover
I am going to show you guys what a first cut looks like as well as a second cut.
First cut means just your bare essentials like your story flow as well as your files being synced.
For second cut, it would be where you put your animations and edits as well. Let me just show you guys.
okay so this, from what you see, is the first cut. There were a couple of takes before hand, so this is the first take.
And it was not synced properly, or at least everyone was not coordinated.
My second cut would be this.
What I did was to animate this whole singing portion into webcam.
It starts off with the desktop and then the mouse slowly moves and clicks.
When I say 'Go', you go. Okay ready 'Go!'
See you have to enter and you have to exit.
But now i think must improve on the timing.
So today besides doing the b-roll challenge with all the interns, I have to do other stuff.
Most of ya'll know that I am the producer for 'Alternate beginnings'. We are one week away from publishing the episode.
I have to go and QC (Quality Check) the posters and all the marketing collaterals. So this is what I am going to do now.
So we have Fee here.He is our poster artist.
He's working on the youtube thumbnail now.
Now we are back to Ideation.
So it's a 8 hour challenge but in virus protection way.
How is this idea better than the standing one?
It's not like in your face kind of thing.
We just ended a Singaporeans Try shoot. Typically, it takes about half a day to get through everything.
Each pair would take an hour or so.
Whatever your'e watching is a condensed version. Over here, we are watching a long ass version of Singaporeans Try
Okay so I am going to show you guys one more thing,
Basically as you can see, there's different segments intros.
We have the Singaporeans Try (sings theme song)
TSL plays (sings theme song)
Hired or Fired (sings theme song)
But Life at TSL doesn't have one so I have been doing animation for that.
Imagine, (Starts singing) "The Smart Local. Com".
(continues singing) "Life at TSL".
"Hi guys welcome to another episode of life at TSL." So that's how it works.
- (Sew) It’s after work and we are at - (Jes) Plaza Singapura
A lot of times after work we will hang out and go eat.
- (Sew) Happy Valentine’s Day! - (Rainier) Happy Birthday? - (Sew) Happy Birthday!?
Happy Valentine's Day
Anybody want to be my girlfriend?
My girlfriend?
Hurry up! We still need to go to Daiso.
Wait for me!
We have 17 minutes left.
Ya la! very handsome.
We are at Daiso's food section to see if we can do anything.
Last time, don't have right?
Yes!
It's damn happening here (Clarke quay) but we are not getting alcohol, we are getting Heytea.
Why is he like that?
To end of the night, we are having a K (Karaoke) session.
I am home and my entire family is asleep.
So I am going to quickly remove my contact lens, shower, dry my hair and sleep.
I am on the way home and I am probably going to do some exercises, take a shower and if I have some energy I will do some work.
Okay so now that I have taken a bath, let me just open my work while I put on a mask.
It's the end of my day. I enjoyed documenting it and sharing with you guys
because not only does it give a glimpse of what we do in a day,
but it also serves as a reminder for me that a typical day like this is tough,
and tiring, but when I look back, it's going to be very rewarding.
I am officially done with work and I have going to sleep for real.
Xiaosmol is going to sleep with me tonight.
All right guys, Good night.
Hey google, Good night.
Eh google, turn off the lights.
(Doesn't work)
Google?
