SADIQ & Co ( behind the sets)

So.. not much time to breath b4 we hop on to another drama.. This time round it is a new legal drama series call SADIQ & CO . It premiered Fri, 9th Nov on NTV7, 8.30pm.. This time round, I was the Production Designer & had an opportunity to Direct an episode as well.. yes Ep7..So do catch it if U can.

Anyways, Story revolves around a lawyer, Sadiq, his son & 2 of his partner. In ep1, Sadiq dies & the plot thickens from there. Was it an accident ? or was he murdered. So Sadiq's death brought the 3 young lawyers closer together and the story moves on from there.. it has got a witty & interesting script with a strong cast. Aaron, Tony Eusoff, Eja & Dee..( My all time fav idol!)


Anyways, down to the concept for Sadiq's office, he was obviously OLD SCHool, British Victorian & what a challenge it was to turn the old Wreck we got into a Cosy ,warm and unique law firm. I luv how the wallpaper colour turns out on screen and the furnitures complements the carpet really well.

You can see the changes from an empty space, we built partitions and changes it into 7sets/ rooms.



Next we have Bakar's Receptions area, played by Dee... ( luv that fella..)witty & sarcastic. Very colourful & eclectic person. Red carpet certainly makes the place feel cosy & warm. All these beautiful mess & files were made possible with the help of Bernard who has donated alot of his furnitures & junk to us.. hahah:)





We then go into Ben's room, played by Tony Eusof. The neat freak & quirky character who is the back bone of Sadiq.
See the before and after..






Shikin's Room, with a feminine touch. The non- conventional design for a female lawyer's office. Played by EJA. A human rights lawyer, believes in helping the less fortunate.








Next is the pantry.. which was built right behind Sadiq's room. So it is a cosy place where they lawyers hang out , gossip & have discussion. Nice bright wall paper with little flowers on it. Very british, but unfortunately doesn't look very obvious here.

Conference Room- Not much here except tht it shares the same place with Libary.
Partitioned it up & walaaaa..turns out perfect.








Last but not least, one of my favourite set, The LIBRARY:
Luv the colours, the wallpapers.. big difference in b4 7 after..




















We have a bar specially designed for lawyers to hang out, a.k.a THE BARRISTER. muahhaha. this is a cool & classy hip place where lawyers gets to chill out, socialize & go karaoke-ing to unwind.. like Ally Mcbeal... Luv Audrey Hepburn...the set transits fr an old cafe(prev set) into a Sexy classy Bar.









So yep.. that's all for now. Stay tune..
We hav 13ep.. 1 down, 12 more to go.. Till the next project.. Chiao!
