My work highly involves Film and Video production that's why I always need a trusty team that can…read morehelp me accomplish pre-production and post-production work neatly and efficiently; kARITELA Production therefore, is my go-to production house for any of those needs. kARITELA is basically a creative team composed of freelance writers and multimedia artist professionals specializing in Audio and Visual production. Their working experience varies from advertising, corporate events, political campaign strategies and materials to music video production, music producing and recording, film scoring, independent film making and visual documentaries. Some of their corporate clients includes Fullybooked, Colgate-Palmolive, Sky Cable, Jollibee, Starmobile, Watsons, Happy Concept Group, etc. they also have commissioned projects from below the line agencies like Contact IMC and First Tier Inc. while some of their works for independent clients includes short films and documentaries screened and awarded in CCP like "Bohe: Sons of the Waves" and "Nanay Mameng" to name a few. What I like about this group in particular is their highly cooperative and active nature in brainstorming and pitching ideas; they make sure to deliver creative fresh ideas and concepts just right for their client's needs. Despite their advertising and corporate project profile, they happen to exert double effort in highly artistic (yet low budget) projects that they believe will somewhat be a good contribution to the local art industry. People in kARITELA are more than just creative, they are artists. I did mostly independent music tracks and music videos with this team and I'm more than happy and satisfied with the output that they gave me. I especially commend their music production and audio engineers for creating high quality compositions with advanced beats and musical techniques; as well as their post-production team that can really do a lot of magical tricks in video editing and music scoring. Their prices are also very friendly especially with their fellow artists in need. You can contact 09178159752 for more details with regards to their rates. To see some of their works, you can check out their Creative Director's profile at http://marxdiego.wordpress.com

If you're a production person like myself, having the right kind of contacts for equipment rental…read moreis EVERYTHING. While advertising has all the money in the world to spend (at least so I've heard), television and digital video production can't say the same for themselves. With TV, and now I am learning that with digital content as well, the cheaper, the better. I know, #producerproblems. Back when I was still working for a local cable channel, I had the challenge of producing high quality promos with a very limited budget. It was quite a mean feat but I was able to pull it off with the help of a few friends. They pointed me to Cinerent, a production rental house that's got the works - camera and lenses rental, camera grips, light equipment and audio rental. Just like every other production rental house, Cinerent has a complete list of whatever you'll need in a shoot. All their equipment has a corresponding caretaker to make sure that the shoot runs well and without any hitch, at least from their part. Their day rate is equivalent to a 16-hour shoot, starting from the time you set-up and ending when someone shouts, "that's a wrap!" Cinerent guys (the grips, the people you scheduled your reservations to, etc) are all very nice as well. In a highly stressful shoot day, all the smiling faces and energetic personalities are what will help make the process more fun! It's one of the main reasons I like Cinerent - I've never had problem with any of their people in any of the shoots I've done with them. Thank God for these guys and I've managed to pull off some of the most difficult shoots I've had.

Camera Cart Studio is located in the famous Maginhawa Street in Quezon City. They offer photography…read moreworkshops, photography merchandise, studio rentals and photography equipment rentals. We reserved the studio for a photo shoot and we were all surprised to see how cool Maginhawa Street was. It was my first time there and I must admit that I found the place really cool. We rented the place for four (4) hours with a rate of 600 php per hour. We didn't find this rate too high because it includes the ff. along with the studio space: 3x 400W - Rimelight Fame E-4 1x Octabox (150 cm) 1x Large Softbox (36" x 48") 1x Small Softbox (10" x 20") 1x Strip Light Softbox 2x Sets 2-in-1 48" Umbrella (Reflective and Shoot Through) 1x Beauty Dish 1x Barn Door 1x Snoot 1x Honeycomb Grid 20 degrees 1x Honeycomb Grid 30 degrees 1x Barndoor with Color Gels 1x Wall - White 1x Background Canvass - Dark Gray 1x Background Canvass - Sky Blue 1x Background Canvass - Black 1x Background Canvass - Green 1x Background Canvass - Pink 3x Large Light stands 2x Medium Light stands 2x Bowl Reflector 1x Snoot 1x 5-in-1 Reflector 1x Benro Tripod with ballhead 1x Radio Trigger 1x Red Colored Gel 1x Blue Colored Gel 1x Yellow Colored Gel 1x Ladder The size of the whole studio is 20ft x 20ft. Wifi was free and it was really fast. The place also has a toilet room, dressing room, and free drinking water. It is also fully air-conditioned. The studio was just the right size for everyone to move around. The wide space was really good and both the model and photographer were comfortable with the set. We didn't have problems with anything and the whole shoot went by smoothly. I recommend Camera Cart to anyone looking for a good place to have a photo shoot. It's the perfect place!

I'm lucky that I get to do a lot of the things (and earn from them) I'm passionate about and one of…read morethem is photography. I was hired to do event coverage and took photographs of a birthday party and was glad it was held at R Space. Being located along Reposo (wow, how old am I and why am I calling it Reposo?), parking was quite a challenge. It's wonderful that they have valet services, so I made it on time. I could say that the venue is quite nice, despite the low ceiling at certain parts. There's also a small private room that could be used as holding area, but that day was used by no one else but me. I was told that the small room can be rented on it's own for meetings and small gatherings. All in all, it was a good party and the guests enjoyed themselves singing along to Side A and dancing to the beats of the DJ that carried on after. As for me, well, I'm just happy I was able to again take photographs and capture memories.

Rita Neri is one of the premiere event planners in the Philippines so when she opened up R Space…read moreEvents Venue, we knew we could only expect the best--after all, she's got her name stamped on it. Located in the heart of Makati, the space is easily Waze-able and Google Maps-able, so it doesn't take a scientist to figure out where this place is exactly. Designed with an old world European feel, the space is small though is the perfect setting for intimate events and celebrations. Whether it's a wedding, a debut, or even a corporate event, Rita Neri and her team of expert planners can easily whip up a beautifully decorated and thought out space to save you all the trouble. It's definitely a combo deal, from the events team to a fabulous events space, it's your special day so all you have to do is sit back and relax.

Edge Manila is your solution for all post-production needs. They're a one-stop shop for editing,…read morecolor grading, visual FX, and any additional cleaning that a film or video goes through before it goes live. They're a very easy group to work with, fast and efficient, and it helps that everyone on their team are geeks and movie buffs as well! Edge Manila has done work with some big names in the local film industry, and you'll see lots of their finished work on MTV, local networks and film festivals, and the big screen itself. The head honcho, John Wong, is a director and editor himself, so he knows how to balance both sides of the coin. When I worked with Edge on a film project, they took great care of us. Even though we were cutting it very close to the deadline (our fault, not theirs), they pushed and helped us make it to the finish line without complaint. Their rates were also very friendly, and for the quality of work that they do, there's hardly need to go anywhere else.

Professional video production is serious -- and quite often tedious -- business. Even as every kid…read morewith a capable computer thinks he can produce and edit his own video, it takes real, trained, and skilled pros to make a major production go smoothly from shoot to final edit. This is where production houses come in -- and these days, when video projects are not limited to 30-second TVCs but also mean much longer made-for-web ones, finding a good prod house that can also give you the best value for your money is a major deal. That's why I love working with Giant Sponge. From their executive producers who take care of putting together your requirements ang pushing for best possible costs, to their in-house and recommended freelance directors (they make sure to reco the best one based not just on cost but on the best skills fit for your project), and their editors and graphic artists and specialists who are all perfectionists in their own right -- they all go through stringent screening to be part of the GS team, and are able to deliver. Needless to say, i've been very happy with the numerous projects i've had with them in the last 5 years. I highly recommend giving them a shot. PS. The Giant Sponge team is also known for always feeding their clients well. Major win. Even their coffee is great. Ask for Bert's or Kuya Oscar's coffee.

I tried out The Office Project when I needed time away from the home office. The people who run…read morethis place were not there but, the staff was accommodating. The space is very new! It's one big sharing space. I stayed in one of the nest nooks because, at the time, I was in no mood to talk or mingle. Also, there were only 2 other guys who were there. So, we had the whole place to ourselves! The rates are the usual rates you'd get in a co-working space in Makati (Php100 per hour). They do have a cheaper rate for students though (For the full rates, please check the photos I uploaded). What is included is dedicated WiFi access, unlimited brewed coffee, use of the pantry + a desk & chair. The only big downside about this working space is that it is very difficult to get to and you really feel boxed in. It's not so quiet either because there is construction happening nearby.

Hidden in the busy street of Chino Roces, White Space has been the home of many bazaars, concerts…read moreand events. Just a couple of years ago, when the metro was affected by Ondoy, White Space opened up its doors to anyone who would want to help pack food and clothing to give away to the flood victims. Just last month, I attended two events in the same week. One was for the Jack Daniel's On Stage Final event wherein they had a number of bands performing to culminate their two year music campaign. The other was for my grandfather's 90th 1950's themed birthday. Last December, Status Magazine had their annual Yardsale, a bazaar showcasing different independent stores and artisans of Manila. And they also had a little stage for a few bands to perform. A few years ago, Sonic Boom Philippines brought in Four Year Strong for a concert. And a year before that, they celebrated one of their anniversaries, setting up two big stages for various local independent bands to play in. White Space is humongous and perfect for any kind of event. It's easy to decorate and if you find it too small, you can rent out only half of it. I think the main problem though is parking. But don't you worry, at night, parking in the street is allowed. And if you run out of space for that, right across is Eco Plaza who has plenty of space for parking.

Personally, I think that Whitespace is currently one of the best event places in the city. I love…read moreit because it's clean, bright and very aesthetically pleasing. Another reason is because of its spacious and spotless bathrooms. From an event organizer's standpoint, Whitespace acts like a blank canvas for any sort of event one would want to organize in here. Because the space is big, it's really open to a multitude of possibilities. I myself have attended concerts, bazaars, pop-up events, brand launches, magazine parties and watched plays here. How's that for being adaptable?
