While I was away in Manchester, the team had a lot of fun putting this campaign together. For the Globe Tattoo campaign of 2011, the team got to work with marathon runner Coach Rio de la Cruz , singer and real-life tattoo artist Sarah Gaugler , and the Philippines' cosplayer goddess Alodia Gosiengfiao ! Director Stephen Ngo and the special FX / CG team at Underground Logic did a great job in producing these FX-heavy TV commercials. I was told that the Alodia shoot took two days because of all the costume changes! But it was all worth it, I think, because after a only a couple of days of airing and being put online, it already got over 29,000 views.  These TVCs were recently featured in Adobo Magazine: http://www.adobomagazine.com/global/module.php?LM=news.level1&id=1296797455996 See behind the scene pictures at: http://blessmybag.com/2011/02/06/behold-the-cosplay-queen-pt-1/#more-2677 CREDITS Client: Globe Product: Tattoo Agency: Harrison Communications Con...

AMBETH R. OCAMPO – Honoree BRINGING OUT THE STORY IN HISTORY Aguinaldo’s restaurant receipts, Rizal’s quickly scribbled notes on the margin of a page and the contents of Bonifacio’s pockets aren’t your usual historical references. But Ambeth Ocampo isn’t your usual history professor. In his books and articles, he transforms dry and dead tales of our past into stories so full of contextual detail, you can almost touch, smell and hear our national heroes. TEACHING THAT GOES BEYOND THE BLACKBOARD. ZOILO JAYOBO PINONGCOS, JR. - Honoree MOVING TEACHERS FROM THE BLACKBOARD TO THE KEYBOARD For a lot of teachers, their knowledge of the web can be summed up in a document of less thant 2kb. That will soon change if the 2009 Teacher of the Year has his way. Zoilo Pinongcos has pioneered a series of programs designed to convert technophobe educators into next generation digerati. How serious is he about his mission? He refused a promotion to principal and turned down a ...

!!!FLASHBACK FRIDAY!!! Back in 2005, I got dragged into helping out with this project, where I got to work with director Romeo Candido . This campaign was Romeo first advertising work in the Philippines. He would later say that this project gave him a crash course on how it is to work in Philippine advertising. Years later, after he directed the horror movie "Ang Pamana: The Inheritance" , we got work with him again on the viral videos we did to promote the Neil Gaiman event in Subic . 1 2 3 4 This commercial stars Teddy Corpuz, who was just starting out as the singer of the band Rocksteddy. The team found him in a casting session for a project that never pushed through. When we needed to find a new Gentxt guy, they immediately remembered him and knew that he was perfect for the role.

This month marks my 11th year in Harrison Communications. Time certainly flies by when you're doing a lot of OT. During one of those nights, an officemate said she'd read my palm and tell my fortune. One of the things she said was I was going to stay in the agency for 10 or more years. I laughed, shook my head and said, "No. No. I don't think I'll last that long." Well... Yeah... Right... And so... Moving on... Many thanks to be given to many people. You know who you are. :) So, let me just share some of the TV commercials that I've worked on in the past 11 years. Enjoy!

Chippy THE INITIATION Chippy TRY-OUTs Ever since the "Chippy Barkada" was introduced several years ago, the teams have always had fun working on the new Chippy campaign. It's also been tough trying to come up with new misadventures for the new Chippy Barkada and make it as fun --if not funnier-- than the last ones. Hope you all like these two new Chippy commercials.

The effect is you get a board that's just to crazy to produce! (And way too expensive, if we were really going to animate all those characters using different animation techniques) Thankfully, Direk Avid showed us the way and gave it a twist-ending that made it more funny!
