We were under the impression that we will have another video for the entire thing as we were waiting for it for 2 months. I texted with the owner, Den, and she said that they don't do "Traditional edits". Well, the package said "On the Day Full Video Coverage" which in my opinion was very misleading. I asked if I could pay extra (since she sent the raw videos) so at least, we could have a copy of the Mass. Unfortunately, she never responded. I would like to add that they also made the Bride and Groom, as well as the Make-up Artist wait for an hour on their Engagement shoot. Although the SDE and photos came out nice, I'm quite unhappy with their service. They should work on their communication (needs more clarity) and professionalism.

I'm a filmmaker. So one of the first things I had to discover when I moved to Manila was where to…read moreprint some DVD labels and also do DVD authoring. Firstly I tried all the print shops in Salcedo Village area. None of them could print a simple DVD label. I was ready to give up when one day, while strolling down V.A.Rufino Street, I saw this tiny store with some computers. I came inside and asked the guy - Erwin Salak, he's the man! - if they could do this kind of service. Surprisingly he said yes! I gave him the DVDs and he printed the labels right away. The quality was very good and the price was very fair. Actually they can do all the authoring thing if you need - and also video editing, motion graphics and graphic design. They also work with events planning, so you can take a look at their photography and videography portfolio. Oh, and they take pictures for IDs. I highly recommend Erwin, the guy who saved me with my DVD label!

I first encountered Shutterpanda Photography when my org Kythe-Ateneo got it to be one of the…read morepartners for our event I Am Hope 2015, where we brought kids with chronic illnesses out of their hospitals for an afternoon of fun and play. The results were absolutely beautiful, with candid shots of kids and their buddies overflowing in the album. I dabble into some photography myself, and I noticed the photographer for that day had preferred lower F-stop settings that blurred the background, making every photo seem more personal. Every photo ended up being so colorful and full of life, and I don't think there was a single photo on their album that didn't have a smile on it. Granted, it wasn't exactly a common event like a debut, wedding reception, or party, but I really think that Shutterpanda did a great job of documenting our event and showcasing what our advocacy was through their photos.

Have you ever wanted to try out photography officially but don't really know where to go? And it's…read morenot like you can grab some of the best models out there for you to try your skills on right? Well, here's veteran photographer Winston Baltasar, whose house doubles as his studio, Winsam Studio. Sir Winston holds photography workshops every couple of weeks, each with a different theme. One week might be capturing good sunsets, another might be working with water, and yet another might be a crash course on wedding photography. He invited me and 2 of my ballerina friends to his studio one time, as he was teaching movement photography. The range of photographers that attended was very diverse, from little to no experience at all, to experienced photographers just looking to keep their skills well-oiled. Oh, and did you know Sir Winston Baltasar is a huge Marvel fan as well? He even dresses up as Professor X (thanks to his bald head) at geek conventions!

Planning a wedding is very difficult. One of the many challenges is finding and comparing several…read moresuppliers from caterers to cake artists to event stylists to photographers and videographers to designers to make-up artists to printing presses to event planners. Good thing, there are wedding expos all year round. One of the bigger expos are the ones organized by Weddings & Beyond which holds several expos every year. In fact, there were way too many suppliers that I wasn't able to talk to each one in depth. Still, that's okay. It was a two-day event. Sadly, we were available only for the first day so we focused on the aspects that we give much importance to. Suppliers aside, I have to commend the big, well-maintained washrooms. It may seem like a petty concern, but, let's face it, if you have to stay in a place for one whole day and share the washroom with several others, there is reason to worry. Finally, I really advice couples to attend expos like this. They have raffles and give lots of freebies. Who knows, you may be the next winner of a honey moon trip or significant freebies from top suppliers.

It's not all videos they do though, they also specialize in events and its coverage (whether that be a wedding, debuts, a concert, a company night--you name it, they'd deliver). They're a full-on service, covering your production needs from casting, to shooting proper, to post-production processes. And the most amazing part? They are ran by young individuals, some even younger than me. Admirable! They were actually the company who did my audition video last year, which was one hell of an experience, by the way.

They are very known for it. Bigfish is a very big name in the industry and reputation is just getting better and better. Towards the middle of the year, they organize one of the biggest events or raves. It's the first of the upcoming events they'll be organizing till the end of the year. This is called Innovation White. Every year, this is one of the expected big parties by Bigfish Manila. The cool thing is that they encourage everyone who's attending to wear white and true enough, most of the people really do. When you go to the venue (which is usually in World Trade Center), the place is filled with black lights so everyone wearing white glows! It's really cool seeing it and being there. The energy of the people is just really amazing and the music is really great! If you're a fan of the genres, I would assure you that you'd have a blast! The venue is decorated really well too. Every time I go, I just always have the best time with my friends!
