finally posting photos and video of the charmee shoot we did with sarah geronimo. prod design by me. costume design by carlo, tailoring by young fashion designer gerswin qua. carlo didnt disappoint as even sarah herself loved the costume and asked to keep them after the shoot. a week after, we saw her wear the boots on ASAP. the design process of any undertaking is not at all easy. im posting a few of the original set and costume sketches and pegs upto the final output. cheers!
picked this up from apartment therapy. apparently the adult swim show The Venture Brothers has featured iconic chairs in their set design. the fact that this is a cartoon is a big plus. obviously the chairs themselves are classics and fabulous. i should try catching that show
the oxchair: perhaps a mix of Jeffrey Bernett’s Metropolitan Armchair and Jean Marie Massaud’s Auckland Armchair
Bertoia stools…
Corbusier’s LC4 Lounge…
Eames Aluminum Group chairs…
love it !!!
shoot of one of revicon’s TVCs featuring robin padilla mid february 2008. heard a lot of comments re robin’s shorts from local viewers. many didnt realize this is muay-style, that’s why its leg opening is a bit larger than usual. carlo and i opted to use alibata for his muay shorts instead of the traditional thai text. robin was thrilled we decided to do that. script reads pa-di-ya or padilla. there are no L’s in the alibata.
director is torts villacorta for abracadabra. cinematographer boy yniguez. production designers peter collias (scenic designer for moulin rouge) and benjamin padero (umm, masahista?). worked with peter before in a german beer regional ad for china. cool guy.
