I've worked with these guys once before and I have to say Acid House is legit! They are so…read moreincredibly creative and have churned out world-class quality work that definitely helped the former channel I worked with interpret and actualize the brand's identity on screen. When it comes to motion graphics, these guys are seriously on point. I got to meet the owners Ivan Despi and his wife Pauline Vicencio Despi. They are longtime graphic artists who decided that working in a company hindered them from maximizing their design potentials. The world should rejoiced that they decided to make their own team because now their talent can be experienced and worked with other people as well! If you are looking for talented and professional visual artists who really know their sh*t, I highly suggest you contact Acid House. If my word's not enough, visit their website or check them out on Vimeo to see what they've done. I promise it'll leave you flabbergasted, excited and a whole lot impressed, for sure!

There was a time I was in Bottega Studio once every week shooting a show I used to produce. It was…read morea video shoot and it took us the whole day to finish our spiels. It was such an experience doing that show and Bottega has been in the middle of it all! Anyway, if you're looking for a photo studio, I would suggest you check out Bottega in Katipunan as they have almost everything you will need. They have a spacious makeup area, and a dressing room as well. For a photo studio, they are pretty equipped with camera tipods, reflectors, special lighting equipment and whatnot. You can also interchange the huge paper walls to change up your background. Bottega is quite a spacious photo studio that it even has a couch area for people to sit on in between takes. The staff are also very accommodating and quite helpful. Plus, the owners of Bottega are part of the photography and makeup industry as well so if you're short on people, you can just go ahead and ask them! Because Bottega Studio is in Katipunan, it's fairly easy to go to! Food can be delivered here and there's also a bakery/cafe right under it. WiFi is also available here.

When I first started out as a newbie photographer and didn't have my own set of light strobes or…read morelighting equipment, Lightrentals PH was my lifesaver. The company essentially rents out a wide range of photography and videography equipment such as cameras, lenses, strobe lights, continuous lights, sound recording devices and the like. Buying your own photography and video equipment is undoubtedly very expensive and at most times isn't even an option for a lot. Especially for beginners trying to dip their toes into the industry, one must really be in it for the long haul to even think about shelling out thousands of pesos for these kinds of gear. But with Lightrentals PH, beginners can practice their skills without shelling an arm and a leg. The company's equipment and price list can be seen on their website, www.lightrentalsph.com. One must fill out a pretty thorough application form, which allows the company to do some background information check on the renter. If application is approved, you can start renting equipment to your heart's content provided that you take care of it. An assistant also accompanies all rentals.

JB De Leon is a man of many talents. Not only does Mr. "Boy Dilim" do an excellent job of hosting…read moreevents, he's also a whiz behind the lens. Seriously. Some of the most beautiful photos that I've seen are a result of JB behind in full control of the shutter and the lens. He recently did a photo shoot with none other than Jake Cuenca and I had the chance to see some of the BTS -- they will not disappoint the aforementioned's fans. For weddings, children's parties, or just a simple family shoot at home -- JB can wow you with it all.

VJ7 Printing is my trusty printing service! They make printing so easy, and they do it for a very…read moreaffordable price. Normally, you would think affordable means you would have to sacrifice quality, but there is NO way that VJ7 Printing will deliver a subpar product. I initially contacted their sales representative via email for some price quotes for a project I was working on. He was very helpful in explaining the different types of paper I could print on and the size options that would best fit my budget. After finalizing the design, I sent the finished pdf file to him via email. I don't know how many back and forth emails I sent but the response was always quick! Later on, they were the same printing services who printed my wedding invitations. They looked uh-mazing! The quality was excellent and the colors were so vibrant. What I appreciated is that they sent me proof samples before printing the whole batch just to be sure that there would not be any color matching issues. Also, I love how they involve their clients in their business. When they had the unveiling of their new printers, I was invited to their shop to see how the machines work. They now have paper cutting machine that will slice through reams of paper. They have a die cutting machine and a machine that prints gold and silver ink (super new to me!). Of course, they showed us their professional laser printer. All these new machines meant one thing, better quality prints at a faster turnover rate! Awesome! Talk about great service! They definitely know what they are doing and their customer care is just top notch. So, if you're looking for a printing service (especially for big projects), VJ7 Printing is the place to go! :D

Very accommodating and friendly staff. Thanks and good job, Vicente, Mari and to the rest of your…read moreteam. More power!
