Dino picking out his designer jeans

What I got for myself - new kicks! and the contraption to take an image of it.

We came home with a little Jakob resting

Nothing of course that the Christmas presents could not remedy.

…when you have the most amazing friends, colleagues and family at your side.

True Faith brings the house down in Beer’s Paradise. (mmmmm, beer!)

(can you spot - fresh from India Randall, Malambing Dino, Rihanna, the odd shaped beer glass, the new member of the makeupstudio, the newest engaged couple, the person who has the beer allergy, Bob “best rock performer” Nicolas, the gay hunk, the jmwv girls, the crossover toast, the mangoboys and the tipsy celebrant?)

Once again, thanks Pang!

For the country’s’ fashion elite last night, all roads led to the Shangri-la Makati for Rajo Laurel’s 15th anniversary gala dinner and fashion show.   Proceeds of the event will benefit the Philippine National Red Cross.

We had the greatest pleasure and privilege to be asked to produce the video short heralding the start of the catwalk runs.  Rizal ballroom was a sight to behold.  The grandiose stage dominated the vast interior,  all in black, with touches of red flowers as centerpieces.

Flanking the stage on both sides were giant LED screens.  I hung around for video testing and calibrating.  The picture quality was breathtaking.

Here’s the piece that we made.  Everything was shot on yummy, yummy Super 8.
