Day 18

Tuesday, August 8

The last day at LOLPH and the internship also, I remember how I ended up staying late at night copy pasting some type of games and their rules for those comedians to follow. Printed out names and labels. And I also had the opportunity to eat the last dinner there. It was bittersweet and worthwhile to see how it ended but at least I completed the 200 hours needed in the internship alongside Raidah and Lourdes.

Day 14

Thursday, August 3

Now the new project that were assigned and me and Raidah included was Project Shoppee and the surprising star was Vice Ganda. At first, I thought Vice appearance on-screen was mesmerizing but off-screen she just looks like us, like ordinary people who get tired as well because everyone do their respective jobs.

Day 13

Wednesday, August 2

Second day at LOLPH. Same as usual, with the help of Lourdes we cutted out another batch of prints that contains names of the comedians, laminated again. Took photos of items and objects which are props. And it was raining but I took a break for awhile while my eyes wander around staring outside. But my stay at LOLPH was a short one so me and raidah were assigned to another project sooner.

After Project Pangarap, I went to Lourdes's project called LOLPH alongside with Raidah. This time it was more funny and kind of a reality game show were actor-comedians pitted against each other in wacky and disgusting challenges. After learning the project, I was tasked to cut out prints that contains names of the comedians, laminated some labeled paraphernalia. Took photos of items and objects that are props to used it to the show.

Second day shooting for Project Pangarap. They went all out in their performances especially Sharon and her daughter Miel.

The background actors did their best too.

Me, I got busy choosing a background photo for a scene. My supervisors suggestion was a Makati City Skyline at night so I eagerly searched in the website Shutterstock. It also frequently rained that day so I also accompanied some of the staff with shading them with my umbrella. After that shooting, we went home late at night.

Day 7

Wednesday, July 26

We are done with Project Linamnam now me and Raidah move to another project called Project Pangarap. Its about an commercial of an insurance company. The shooting location was in Enderun College and the crew and production used some of its facilities to shoot. But the main stars of the show was Sharon Cuneta and her daughter Miel with some of the foreigner and local background actors included. I admit I was not getting used to see celebrities in the flesh but I was happy and satisfied with that. I also took photos for background actors cause they switch their clothes and I made an inventory of them in a powerpoint presentation.

Day 5

Monday, July 24

After Project Sportsfans, we were introduced to another project called "Project Linamnam". This time it wasn't about sports commercial, it's about a food seasoning commercial. The shooting location is just in a big house well, there is only two actors involved but the main part was the food seasoning. It was time consuming and the sophistication and preparation for that seasoning plus with the food is in perfection and detail.

Day 4

Sunday, July 23

Second shooting for Project Sportsfans and also the last day. As usual, the whole crew and production continued their jobs and we moved to another location, a private college in Paranaque and we used their gymnasium it was spacious and larger than our university's gymnasium. Well, I saw how they shoot a commercial and I'm part of the background extras. I must say I'm proud of myself and being belong into that kind of world.

Day 3

Saturday, July 22

First day of shooting of "Project Sportsfans". I remember the call time was 3:00 am in the office because there is service which is a white van that will transport us to the location. Well, I returned home and slept early so I can prepare for tomorrow. I awakened and I commuted to go there and arrived there early and so did Raidah. We jumped on the van and away we go. I'm still sleepy and groggy but when we arrived there the whole crew and production got started. It was fun yet stressful because of the fast-paced environment and how they managed their work precisely.

Day 2

Friday, July 21

I went to St. Paul University Quezon City, because I was part of a production for graduation, we did a dry run practice for that and I was the other cameraman. I stood up for many hours and I felt a pain in my back and my neck hurts from staring at the led wall and the viewfinder just to observe and adjust the angles and the most important thing is the headroom for guests and speakers coming into the stage and podium.
