In Light of Halloween: The Escape

Over a year ago, we created a short film for our subject called Concept. Our class was divided into small groups and we were tasked to write stories that met the standards of our terrifying professor. By the end of the term, 3 stories were chosen and were assigned. 

This story starts out with a girl in a club who was leaving with a random guy who ends up abducting her. She wakes up strapped to a table with surgical tools next to her and a surgeon about to harvest her organs. While the man's back is turned, she struggles to free one hand and reaches for the scalpel. She grabs it, slips her hand back in the restraint and pretends to be asleep. The surgeon approaches and notices that the scalpel is missing. He gets down on the floor and looks under the table and as he stands back up the girl stabs him multiple times on his neck. She cuts the restraints and runs to safety.

I'm so glad that I suggested that this story be part of the 3 even though the class was skeptical and felt it was too much work. Thankfully, the story was assigned to our group and I am so proud of what we created. We actually shot the entire thing 3 times, these pictures were from the first output which I felt was actually the nicest but our professor felt that the room was too bright and did not match the concept. The second output was too warm and yellow and finally we got it right by the third time. I wish I had the copy of the first one to show you but I don't so here are some outtakes.

Manila Hotel Celebrates 100 Years with Francis Libiran

What a great day this truly was! So worth the body pain and long shooting hours. I was invited by a friend of mine to be part of an AVP/music video shoot featuring Francis Libiran's stunning gowns set to the music of Richard Poon. 

MC79 partnered with Digitank Studios, the company I interned for, to create an amazing 2 hour special to be aired on ABS-CBN on the 14th of October. I really can't believe I was given the chance to be part of it! Reminds me why I love the fashion industry so much.

The day started with a 6am call time in the beautiful Manila Hotel. All day buffets, clothes and naked models all over the place, and hours of hair and make up are what I live for. Although it was really depressing to be around so many tall, thin and gorgeous models, I really enjoyed every minute of it. Here are some photos from yesterday's shoot. :)

Don't you just love the chaos? Look at all the gorgeous gowns!




This was the dress they had me wear, a royal blue floor length dress with shear fabric and cutouts. Same dress that Rhian Ramos wore. Posing in our makeshift dressing room in the corner of the function room.





Tall ladies all over the place!


Insert mini photo shoot here, photos taken by my friend Joseph Brillantes.


Fail dress flip! Almost flashed the camera. :))

And here is my "no more pictures" face. :)) 12 hours into the shoot and I was so tired of cameras!


Some of the lovely models. My favorite gowns of the day, the red wonder woman like gown and the pink one with the gold details.


With Francis Libiran himself, the creator of all the gowns used for the shoot. Isn't he dreamy? <3 


Cozy-ing up to Richard Poon after the shoot. Don't we look good together? :))



More photo's to be posted on Facebook. :)

Thesis Defense: See you all in PICC!

I hadn't realized how long its been since I last created an entry here! 

I guess it's because it's been a busy week for me so far. Last Tuesday, we finally defended our thesis and it went.. well, horribly. But I'm glad it's over and we got a fair grade!

I didn't expect to say much during the critiquing part but surprisingly I defended the crap out of the film. Even though through out the whole thesis process the story I wrote(read here) changed about 95%, I'm still proud of my group's work and I couldn't be happier that we got through it together! So unbelievably thankful to them!

Tuesday marked the end of my Communication Arts life at DLSU and it was definitely bitter sweet. School has been such a safe haven for me but I am definitely glad to be done with school work!

Graduation will be on October 13, and I for one can't wait! Congratulations to everyone who defended their projects, I'll see you all in PICC!
