Sulyap 2 :Pagsilip sa Paggawa ng Pelikula

This is an entry of gratitude.



This thank-you is already long overdue and my heart is filled with awe.

Enough with the formality. The joy which I would like to share is all about the film making workshop organized by MasKay (Malayang Sining-Kayumanggi) for free. It was held last July 30-31 & August 6 @ Bahay ni Isis.

MasKay Productions

30 Participants were chosen via online application and were divided intro 3 groups to make an indie film to be shown on the last day of the workshop.

L-R: Dane, Van, Sir Ralston Jover, Sir Boy Villasanta, Sir Ching Danseco, Me :)

Among the speakers who shared their knowledge with such enthusiasm and generosity were Ordonie Layson for Animation, Sir Ralston Jover (writer of Kubrador) for Script writing, Sir Nanding Josef for Acting, Sir Nap Jamir II for Cinematography (Ang Pagdadalaga ni Maximo...), Sir Leo Abaya for Production Design, Sir Danny Anonuevo for Film Editing,  Sir Raymond Red for Indie Film making and directing, Sir Jesse Lucas for Film scoring, and Sir Ching Danseco for Marketing/Networking.  

I had given up my dream to study film when I was in college but because of this very fortunate event, my dream for film making has been revived. I met a lot of people who are involve in film making whether as a hobby or profit pursuits and each of them are really interesting. My group - SCRATCH PRODUCTIONS - comprise of individuals skilled in different fields.

We made our first indie film for the MasKay workshop entitled PINTIG. It's in the horror genre and 12 minutes long. We only had one day to shoot and showcased our film on the third day of our workshop.

Our panel "judges" include Sir Ralston Jover and Sir Ching Danseco. We received a lot of constructive criticisms which will help us improve our work and added learning as well. I was in-charge of production design and there were several essential stuff missing that they had to point out. I learned a lot from their opinions and would like to improve on it. During the shoot I was so focus on my make-up artist duties that I completely disregarded about the set! gah!


Nonetheless, we're happy with our results. We can either improve on it or make a completely new concept. I'm just so blessed to be with the people of Group 1 - Scratch productions. Working with them was comfortable and fun!
