Before Judgment Day

Defense is tomorrow.. oooohh scary. Will I pass or will I fail? Will I revise or will I be able to present well? wish me luck!

For the industry! Awoo Awwooo :p

Early Concepts

I do believe that i've come a long way: From the first time we began searching for our topics, to the conception of our campaign. If I could cite an example to show the word "change", I believe this would be it.

Here are some of my early proposals for the campaign's teasers:

First attempt:

Sir's comment: The style looks like "cut & paste"
Sir's suggestion: Put a touch of "Justine" in your ads

Second attempt:

Sir's comment: Goldeneye and striptease looks more of a horror movie. Avoid it.
Sir's suggestion: how about a factoid ad?

Third attempt:

Sir's comment: cluttered
Sir's suggestion: Go back to your marquee concept and improve it.

and the rest is history... hehehe

I will be posting my approved concepts on my next entry.. So savor the old concepts while you can. hehe :p

Til next! :)

On Eugene Domingo & Maryo J. De Los Reyes

Happy New Year everyone!! I'm sorry for keeping you guys waiting. I've been really busy these past few months doing my ads for thesis. I'll be posting it but maybe after defense. Which reminds me.. I only have less than a month to finish everything before presentation. To be honest, i'm really nervous. All the answers such as "what grade am I going to get?", "What will be the reason why i'll get a low grade?", and many more. My mom's advice.. just get it all done and be able to graduate. I really hope i'd do well next month. Wish me luck! :) Anyway, here are some of my adventures for the past three months...

I was able to get a testimonial for my event's chosen endorsers. They are :

“Sa lahat ng aspeto, tama si Jose Rizal. Kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan. Ang pelikula, ang magtataguyod ng pagkakakilanlan natin sa mundo ng sining, ay magsisimula sa inyo. Kailangan maintindihan ang kasaysayan kung bakit nagkakaganoon, kung bakit tayo nandito, at kung paano ito ipapasa sa mga susunod na henerasyon."

-- Eugene Domingo's message for the youth

and



“If classic literature is taught in schools,
all the more students should see our films and its history
to learn more about our cultural heritage.
Para hindi lang sayaw na pagiling-giling
ang konsepto ng kabataan sa ating
sining at kultura."

- Maryo J. De Los Reyes
calling for action to learn more about our culture through film

I'm afraid I won't be posting their interview transcripts. Unfortunately, my digicam's memory card has a virus which deleted the video. Good thing I was able to write direk Maryo's message. Though my paper would look better had I transcribed the interview earlier. Stupid me. :(

Which reminds me, I finally met Video 48's Simon Santos. Thank God I met him! He's been of really great help to me and to my thesis. :) Thank you sir!

Anyway, i'm planning to post my first attempts on my event ads on my next entry. Hope you enjoyed a bit of info from my event's endorsers. :p Til next! :)

Now, back to work.

Walang Himala?

What makes a movie CLASSIC?

This is one of the reasons why my event should be implemented. Congratulations Ishmael Bernal! Cheers to us Filipinos. :)
