jollibee shoot

we shot a jollibee ad a few months ago for the new champ burger (1/3 pounds, bigger than a quarter pounder! haha). i asked the services of talented brothers carlo & angelo tabije to help paint a backdrop for the product.  they made me 2 8′x8′ panels in jollibee orange colors all in one afternoon. this commercial featured joem bascon eating burgers in the last 5 seconds of the ad. the photo above were those prepared for him to bite into. every take, they had to replace the burger with a new one.  after the shoot they were carted off… i dont know where. and i didnt even get to eat even a bit of bacon (from the bacon and cheese burger on their menu) 😦

say hi to luna

introducing luna

luna has been with me for about a month now. her bigger brother, juan the desktop, remains at home while luna and i go to meetings and presentations. both luna and juan are katipuneros, they live on 47L, ergo the names. and theyre artists more importantly. she’s a big help and it’s fun doing work on the dining table or in the bathroom instead of being stuck to just under the stairs where juan is. i hope juan wouldnt take offense that i do my work and play more on luna nowadays. ashteg.
