Our first days shoot actually started a day early. Our budget and schedule (74 days) did not allow time to shoot a montage of Mulan getting dressed up for the matchmaker, which devastated me. So the ever fabulous Liz Tan @celluloidgypsy 1st AD and all around goddess warrior genius filmmaker contrived to allow Mandy and I to shoot on our last day of prep. I had always been determined to bring vibrant color to this movie (my colleagues will remember the wars I waged against the color brown) and to see our first images come through like this was thrilling. Thank you to Make-Up Designer Denise Kum @denisekum . Gracias to Costume Designer Bina Daigeler @bina_daigeler_costumedesign . And gratitude to you too Mandy Walker! @mandywalkerdp. My girls. Dream Team. But with special thanks to Liz who’s had my back since Whale Rider. A cunning fox and a cherished collaborator. May we have many more adventures around the world together ❤️ #Mulan #Disney #yifei_cc #loyalbravetrue
