Moooo!

Brandie and I got to spend the day with Dino and Tonet and got to see their latest works.

Dino just finished making the video for The Skyflakes, a San Francisco-based all-Filipino band. You can check out the stills of the video at Dino's site. He doesn't want to upload the complete video until they get to submit it to several festivals. But we got the special preview of the video. :)

Dino was actually able to upload the whole video in his Nokai 3650. Astig! He showed it to us while were walking around the Cartoon Art Museum . Later on, we got to watch it on the big screen at his house.

And if you're lucky, you might just get to see The Skyflakes music video on MTV-Asia and MYX.

And if you want to see Dino with his new F4 hair-cut, just click here and look for photo a261.jpg. Of course, Dino denies knowing anything about F4 since he's not exposed to ABS-CBN's top-rating show. Well, he might just get a hair-cut soon enough.

While Dino showed his latest CG work, Tonet showed us her latest darkroom creations, photos created with these wonderful effects without using a computer. But she did do a series of photos of "flower people" where she used Photoshop. Told her that she should post it on phlog or photos.ph so that other people can see her work.

Talking about phlogs, will try to update mine soon as Dino and Tonet email me the photos they took today. :)

Will you Play it Safe in 2025?

One of my favorite songs which I learned about early this year. Our boss at the agency played this at one of our town hall meetings. It's reminder to all creators that we will always be told to "stick to safe ideas" (which is fine, if you just want to get the work done and go home) but there will always be this other voice at the back of your head that will ask, "Maybe there's another way to do this? Maybe there's a better way to tell this story? Maybe you can tell if from a different point of view and make this old story feel like new? Maybe you can spend a few more minutes working on it? How about it? Let's give it a try? Another hour trying to re-write? Let's give it a go!" What I love about this song is how the lyrics take on the conservative point-of-view and how the visuals show us the exact opposite. One of my favorite bits of this song is this part, where the lyrics starts to give you a "list of commands", like it's a list o...

the sons and daughters of Kanlaon

Last Friday, we attended the 40th Anniversary of KBS, the Kanlaon Broadcasting System, where my mom and dad once worked. I was still a baby when my dad worked there. I barely remember the people there. One of the first people to greet me was Lando, my dad's old driver. Him, I remember. As the story goes, when I was a baby, I could not pronounce his name and just started calling him "Agoong". Hence, he got that nickname and that's what everyone called him. I remember how we used to play chess while waiting for dad to finish work and how I always forced him to make me win. (Makes me wish I forced him to teach me how to play chess better and learn how to not win things so easily.) As expected, as my mom re-introduced me to her old office mates, they all looked surprised and delighted to see me. They would then immediately extend their hand, palm down, and show me how small I was when I first met them. Some would pretend to carry me and tell them they were the ones who ca...

Couple of weeks ago, Ms. Diyco featured another campaign made by the creatives here at Harrison Communications. Here's her review about the Neozep "Neozerye" TV campaign: Romancing the mighty colds cure ADS AND ENDS, Nanette A Franco-Diyco BUSINESS WORLD Vol. XX, No. 139, Friday-Saturday, February 9-10, 2007 http://www.bworldonline.com/Weekender020907/main.php?id=marketing_diyco The four television commercials that serialize the life of pretty housemaid Luwalhati, culminating in a storybook wedding to her once-upon-a-time señorito from the imposing mansion belong to an ad campaign awards class all its own. There have been other spoofs of soap operas selling other brand categories in the past. But for several reasons put together, the Neozep series of commercials that began with honest-to-goodness ad teasers that looked and sounded like teasers for true-blue soap operas proved ultra entertaining and more importantly, "reinforced Neozep’s leadership and further s...
