Hala Land!!! New moon Na ba karon? Mo ekyas na ba ang Mercury Retrograde? Wasak ka mo review, Bay!
Yeah, Land, I don't know how to express this...while doing the shoot with the team, I enjoyed with lots of possibilities... Ga-hairline na mood swings..."emphatic nuances of the actor", man gyud ang imong pulong. Crazy mohimo og piyesa si Arnel!!! There were times that we stopped and laughed it out, and say: pang estudyante version napod, Bay!!!
Yes, may mga deliberate na signs and symbols, archetypal, sacred geometry, design coming from the sky, fighter planes, double character, fun, food and booze, discussions, cooking, shooting, di magkasinabot usahay, saving your act, luod-luod, and again, party after. Enjoy ang proseso!!!
But the craziest day of our life, was the first shooting day!!! Wow!!! We knew our mise en sce'ne, but Gary didn't have the footwear for the shoot. So,you want me to create a character out of the shoes??? :Tara Nonoy, let's go to the "UKay-UKay" and discover Gary!! Buanga, Bay! Buntag kaayong sayo, naghuwat pa mi nga mangabre ang ukayan sa Bankerohan...medyo layo sa set, (house of Asul), nga walay connection from the outside world... wasak@walang kuryente.com. We had to wrap the scene before dusk- wala kameng ilaw, at nasa kampanya lahat!!
It was the longest confrontation scene of all time.. The first draft/rough version, is a short short.18 minuter scene. But the final cut/movie version lasted less than 3minutes??? Hahaha!!! No sweat!!!
In the city, she changed her name to "Shie". Bag-ong lugar, bag-ong pangalan. Istorya ra bitaw nga makaingon ka og: Estoryaheeee!!!.. But, you have to follow a story/script. Ang sak-sak sinagol nga lingua franca Actors has to study hard to connect the invisible arch?
Believe...
Relax...
Survive..
