From Storyboards to the Big Screen.

I've decided that since I can't really blog a lot, i'll just post pictures from work. I found these old storyboards that we used for Tiktik: The Aswang Chronicles. Yes, i watermarked it because I honestly think that it'll cost a lot in the future. Haha!

Direk Erik had these on paper on the shoot. I guess it aids his imagination, but I honestly believe the entire picture is in his head!

Unfortunately, I can't post screen shots of the film since it's still out in the cinemas. But if you've seen it, you'll see how close the boards are to the actual material in the big screen! For comparison, I did screen shots of the trailer and posted them here.

This is meant to be a shot of the creatures in the forest

and another one

That should be Joey Marquez using his Bawang/Asin Solution

And again, Joey Marquez fighting off Aswangs with his Asin mist

This is from the trailer!

This here should be Dingdong Dantes killing an aswang 

This isn't the same shot...
but this part of the trailer is from the same sequence in the movie,

Another one!

This here is a drawing of Tatang.
You should see the movie version! He looks awesome.

So if you haven't seen the film yet, i think you should! Hehe, shameless plugging. These old boards make me realize that preproduction really is the big chunk that makes a movie.

Til the next archived material!

How's That Made?

I found old photos in my laptop from a location visit we did before.

Let me do this informative blog just cause I think it's interesting how it all comes together...
A little peek into the world of our daily grind! When we do oculars, we do framing options with the Director of Photography. My job as Technical Director is to try and frame the storyboard's drawing into the actual framing in the location based on how the director wants it to look.

This is how you know that a 45-seconder needs collaboration! Light and Production Design works wonders for the look of an ad. So for the commercial of Anelene called "Tuloy" here are our pictures from the ocular as the framing options and actual frames of the commercial!

*The screen grabs of the commercial are from youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tci97xXtvn0) and are not owned by me
*The other pictures were taken by Dix Buhay
