Today I had to go film Kristina, my cousin sister, at Kathmandu Durbar Square.
She wore a red Nepali dress with yellow patuki (sash), Priti applied beautiful make-up on her. She was looking so pretty, like any Barbie doll.
We filmed her at Kaal Bhairav, on rickshaw, feeding pigeon at the square etc. And wherever we went, she would soon be surrounded by tourist to take her picture. To photograph and film themselves with her. Everyone turned to me to praise her, her patience and her enigma. They almost took them home.
Although she was very enthusiastic about she coming into camera, she was kind of going out track. There was a point when I started losing my temper because she was not following what I was saying. Then again I realized, bichara, she is giving her best, without any homework. Haha.
Her father (my uncle) knew how to handle her better. She is his daughter after all. So, he did a dance-walk to show how she should be performing for my camera. How she should laugh. How she should not stop when the camera is still rolling. So on and so forth. I wish I too had that in my mind.
It was a nice 2 hour shoot.
I really have to develop my skill when it comes to being patient with others.
