Hey, we’re rounding up some of the recent work we’ve done for competition come August. Might I ask for a bit of your time for some suggestions.

Here are the links to the videos:
Shy and Martin
Andrienne and John
Minerva and Andrei
Charisse and John
Kristine and Willen
Honey and GJ

It’s really not a question of which is best but more of which is more appealing to judge’s taste.

Thanks!

The Maxim Hot 100 Party

whatnot 3 Comments »

An otherwise boring Thursday evening sizzled to extremes because of hot babes, free booze and great company - it was Maxim Magazine’s Hot 100 Party. I was fortunate enough to get invited by associate editor (and ollege buddy) Peejo Pilar. I brought a camera along just in case I had the chance to incriminate someone

One of the highlights of the night were the Brazilian models parading in their Speedos.

Mari and Beni: GCC Pastor Loves Videographers

weddings 8 Comments »

Worldwide, videographers are usually last on a couple’s list and budget when planning a wedding. Still only a small percentage of couples give the importance that is due to wedding videos. But Pastor Stephen Tan believes otherwise.

You probably will not remember a thing I say, That’ why we have a friendly videographer next to us. He’s gonna capture this. So if you have rough right times in your marriage life, and you wonder, were we really married? That’s what the videographer is for.

Confessions of Denied Visa Applicant

whatnot 31 Comments »

“I feel that you are not professionally established as of this time.”

And so the hammer falls. No WEVA Expo on August, No Florida in January. No Cirque de Soleil. No Mickey Mouse.

Life lesson #1: You can’t always get what you want.
In retrospect, the last year has been tremendous, the awards, the Top 25 thingie and much success with the bookings. It’s easy to forget all these when one disappointment happens. But I shan’t. It’s a nice reality check even. Give me the requisite three days of sulking and I’ll be alright.

Life lesson #2: There’s no shame in denial
Perhaps the greatest question one has to answer after a denial is - why me? What makes another person so special that he’s granted a US Visa and what makes me scum of the earth to get a denial? We’ll never know. But I seek refuge in the fact that half of it is in the luck of the draw - of who the consul is, if she had good coffee that morning or a lousy date the night before. Or perhaps it’s what I said or what I didn’t say.  I’m just glad I didn’t confuse my Ps and Fs.

A denial doesn’t make me scum (neither the consul). It’s just the way it is. And I’m not lesser a person because of it.

Life lesson#3: There will always be second chances.
Life goes on. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger and all that jazz. I’ll take my chances again come November.

Joanne and Rene: A Caleruega Wedding

weddings, videos 8 Comments »

Sometimes, with all the pressure surrounding the making of an Onsite Video, small mishaps are bound to happen. After sweating cold rivulets while trying to burn a dvd, figuring out the projector connections and finding a way to output from a laptop, we were able to show the piece.

I made sure to shoot mostly with my photographic lenses the whole time. That’s why tonight, I feel my arm is gonna fall off. The rig is frickin’ heavy.

Make up artist Madge Lejano with gorgeous bride Joanne.

I intentionally washed the entire video with warm colors to complement the intimacy of the wedding.

The last sequence is my favorite part - the veil, the lensflare, the kiss all come together.

Here’s the Onsite Video.

The humidity was terrible but the engagement shoot with Jp and Cielo was fun nonetheless. We shot with Team MangoRed, at coincidentally, The Mango Farm in Antipolo City.

Ranee and Paul: A Morning Wedding

weddings, videos 10 Comments »

It’s a tough job but somebody has to do it. The wedding ceremony was at 8am so we commenced shooting at around five in the morning.

There’s more 35mm madness in the bridal prep but what really brought this piece together was the eloquent vows exhanged by the couple.

Watch it.
