SHOT LIST: THAI SCULPTOR NARONG BOONTHEP WORKS ON HIS NAGA STATUE AT WAT CHIANG MAN, IN CHIANG MAI, THAILAND.

SOUND BITES: THAI SCULPTOR NARONG BOONTHEP (IN THAI).

TRANSLATION: The facial expression is the most difficult part because it has to follow client's instructions. For example, this client doesn't want the statue to look fierce. They want it to smile, to have a soft and gentle expression, and I must be able to deliver that.
