My brother, the videographer By tamper, D.M.D, R.N Friday - October 31, 2008 7:33am in Dailychex Blog |
I received a text message from my little brother, Shierdan early this afternoon. "Man," he said, "check out www.mymetrophoto.com", he told me. I replied, telling him to wait as I look up the site. It's actually a blogsite. And so as I waited for the pages to load up I wondered why he seemed 'happy' about it (the supposedly wireless broadband internet connection we have is actually just 3 times faster than a dial up--technically not to be considered broadband by international standards ;-P).When the site loaded up, what a surprise it was! For the benefit of those you won't check out the site, I've pasted what the author posted:
<h3 class="post-title entry-title"> "A Sign of Things to Come: The Weddings at Work Video Fest </h3> When do you say that something is <strong>big</strong>? Is it when the biggest wedding online community in the country celebrates its 10th anniversary by having the 5 biggest wedding videographers in the land collaborate for a one-of-a-kind film fest this January? Heck yeah!. So you must imagine how tiny I felt when we shot this... hahaha. :)
Clockwise from top left: (feast yourselves by clicking their names)Bim Tecson,Jason Magbanua,Bob Nicolas,Bong Sare(Threelogy),Shierdan Pamintuan,Jon Chug(Threelogy), andCJ Lagman(Threelogy).
This post is Metrophoto's sneak peek of the photoshoot we did for the the soon-to-be-launched "movie poster" series of the weddings at work videofest that I personally like to call "The Elements That Embody: The Top Wedding Videographers in the Land". Our deepest appreciation goes out to Benz and John Rana for entrusting us to do this for them and to the videogods for being so cooperative and fun. hahaha.
Watch out very soon for the complete updates about the upcoming weddings at work videofest and anniversary plus the complete gallery and behind-the-scenes features from this shoot :)"
Wow! My little brother, big time na! Hahaha!
This shoot, I later told my brother, made the top wedding videographers in the Philippines look like a rock group, hehe.
Anyway, I remembered Shierdan telling me about his latest wedding shoot weeks ago about a 'rich couple'. That would be an understatement. The couple owned a yatch. And is into a yatch club. By Philippine standards, owning a yatch costs you a million smackaroos and joining a yatch club entails that you have a minimum of a million bucks for the annual membership fee ;-) Shierdan said he enjoyed the shoot, for it was 'different'--as he had to come along with the couple, and together with their wedding photographer and support crew, stay in the yatch. And to take those videos (and document it as well), he had to ride on an inflatable boat to get those mala national geographic shots, hehehe.
It's amusing thinking about my kid brother years ago. I remember him swimming and taking a bath in a pool of mud, getting dirty but not minding it at all as he was having 'the time of his life' and enjoying it. Now, nothing much has changed--he's still animated as ever, except now aside from not swimming in a pool of mud, he still enjoys what he does, and gets paid for it, and more significantly, gets acknowledged for it, nationwide as far as being in the top wedding supplier of wedding services in the Philippines goes :-D
