Sunday, January 18
Sunday proved to be another busy day as we needed to shoot two Toyota features: one about a Toyota volunteer driver and what he gets up to on a match day and the other taking a look at the day in the life of a fan on a match day.
To achieve the latter, I’d managed to get in touch with an Uzbek fan called Shahriyor Yusupov who is based in Sydney but was flying to Melbourne to watch the White Wolves’ do or die match against Saudi Arabia.
It could have proved a difficult day as we had to try and juggle where and when we’d meet Michael the driver and Shahriyor the fan. Anyone who knows anything about filming knows these things rarely come together without a hitch but incredibly we caught both guys every time we needed to wherever we needed them before and after the game! Remarkable!
It proved to be a great day for Shahriyor too as Uzbekistan got the win they needed to reach the quarter-finals where they would face the Taeguk Warriors of Korea.
All in all, a good day at the AFC Asian Cup 2015.
