Ly Hai tried to recreate the brutality of war with broken coconut trees, damaged houses, and bombs continuously burning everything. The male director said the message of the film is that the smoke and fire of war makes life fragile, and people's dreams become small in the face of the times.

The process of choosing the filming location was difficult. The director wanted the scene to be authentic and connected to historical sites. The crew found some areas with coconut forests in the Central region, but it was not feasible because the locations were not allowed to film or were not historical.

The team found a suitable location in the commune. Thien Nghiep, Ham Tien Ward, Binh Thuan Province. This is the place that witnessed many battles between our ancestors and the invaders. The owner of the coconut forest also experienced and witnessed losses during the resistance war against America.

“There were battles and bombings here just like the scene in the movie. Flip 8: Sunny Bracelet. There are many coconut trees here with traces of bombs and bullets left behind,” the film producer shared.

In the big explosion scene filmed live, the crew did not use much CGI image simulation technology. The crew prepared carefully and invited fire experts to ensure the scene was safe.

For the first time, Ly Hai brought the theme of war into a film for the April 30-May 1 season.

The crew said they used five large cameras and two drones to film the explosion scene. The actors and crew members memorized the location and avoided going near the explosion site. Ly Hai felt pressured when performing the explosions in the coconut forest, showing the horror of war. The crew representative said one camera was burned during the explosion.

Ly Hai said he tried hard in Flip 8: Sunny Bracelet to pay tribute to the heroes who fought and sacrificed to gain independence and freedom for the Vietnamese people.
