Let's see.....Anilao, Davao, Dumaguete, Tubbataha, Culasi, Puerto Galera, so many great choices!
Great to have onboard.
I learned to dive in Boracay, 2002. Have returned once in 2005 for Puerto Galera. Will be returning again Feb. this year. My wife and I will be in Cebu Feb 9-15 diving through Scubaworld.
I think diving in the Philippines is the best diving in the world!
Yeah.. your right......!!!!!!!!
Philippines is one of the best diving area in the world. Through searching the net i found out that Philippines is really a beautiful country and I'm planning to go there this coming summer just to dive with some of my friends, who's in there because they are studying in International Academy of Film and Television. I think it is located on the Island of Mactan Cebu where there are lots of diving spots. Am I right? hehehe.... I'm so excited to be there coz my friends will teach me how to shoot pictures underwater......very nice.. huh.... So guys, see you in Philippines. :=) ....... mwah

Once we decided on our story, which took about five rewrites, we applied what we learned about creating a shot list and storyboarding. This was after we agreed on the mood and feel of the film, which led to our determination of the musical theme and scene constructions.
Filmmaking is a complex process with many potential snags. We were unable to create all the footage we had initially conceived due to panic, confusion and technical problems. However, we were blessed to have such a great editor who was able to create a complete story even with the missing footage. This time, we also made sure the sound was properly recorded and that no audio was distorted. Our sound designer did wonders to the final cut too, adding nuances that we never imagined. We took great care in framing each shot and tried our best to convey the mood to the actors; they were only given a short time to prepare. It took them some time to warm up, but when they did they shined through. The overall feel of the film was further enhanced by our editor’s color correction and attention to the smallest inconsistencies in continuity.
well i really love studying here in Cebu, we aspiring filmmakers can make a lot of stories here in this beautiful island. one of our classmate wrote in his blog entitled SWIM FOR OLANGO and he also made his first music video with junior kilat, well of cousre with the help of us his classmate hehehehe
Kumusta and Mabuhay Baby Yatch.
Story composition sure is quite the science. One of these days us underwater videographers will actually get some formal training!

and whats nice is that the RED Digital Cinema Inc. has delivered the first of a total of five RED Cameras to our school making it the first film school in Asia to incorporate the vastly publicized new generation of cameras.
The fully digital camera that uses a new generation "Mysterium" CMOS imaging sensor represents the next generation of cameras for feature films with a resolution of 4k - four times of the current "High Definition" format. It encompasses a totally digital workflow, recording directly on hard drives and solid-state media instead of tape or physical film.
Praised by international directors like Steven Soderbergh (Traffic, Erin Brokovich) or Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings) as "better than shooting on film,” the RED is one of the most awaited products. Students enrolled in IAFT's two-year CRAZY FILMMAKER PROGRAM will have the unique opportunity to work hands-on with an international cinematography mentor on it.
We've seen the Red camera series.....it's quite impressive. The Red people do have some new cameras out that are smaller, less expensive and in the 2-3K range of resolution.
I have to get to the Cebu area....Dumaguete and Davao await me though...
yeah read cameras are very impressive..but atleast we students got the opportunity to have that one in our class...Quote:
