Me: Bakasyon mo bay?

Gabby: Dili bay. Naghimo mi’g kanta.

Me: Diri mo sa Cebu mag-record?

Gabby: Manila mi mag-record. Naa ra mi diri para magbuhat og kanta. Nag-abang mi’g balay sa Lahug. Mura mi’g nag-retreat didto ‘ron  (laughs). Sa sala ra mi higda tanan.

(Silence. Rey ‘Boom Boom’ Bautista enters the room and conversation shifts to the boxer’s upcoming fight in the US middle of this year. He’s fighting undercard for a Mosley main event. He doesn’t talk much. Apparently he loves boxing more than talking. Silence.)

Gabby: Ingna lang mi bay if ganahan mo motukar mi para sa inyong org (tsinelas). Ang plete lang pangitai og sponsor. OK ra mi.

Me:  (shocked at the offer) Bitaw??

Gabby: OK ra gyud. Ganahan mi this year nga daghan mi’g tukar for charity.

Me: OK bay. Salamat kaayo. Kontakon lang tika.

Ruel Antipuesto shooting Missing Filemon's "Sinesine" music video

After the successful “First Tsinelas Songwriting Workshop” last May 8, 9 and 10, Tsinelas is organizing another workshop, this time on how to make a music video. The “First Tsinelas Music Video Workshop” is tentatively scheduled on the second week of July.  It will be a two-day stay-in seminar. Tsinelas will announce the venue and other details once everything is set.

To handle the workshop is Ruel Antipuesto.

Like all seminars and events organized by Tsinelas, proceeds of the music video workshop will be used to help the organization’s beneficiaries in Cebu’s mountain barangays.

The seminar will cover these five general topics: orientation on the tools needed; fundamentals of planning, shooting and editing; basic workflow and techniques; common problems and how to avoid them; and exploring alternative technology.

For reservation and more info, contact the secretariat at 0922 8243800 or 0926 7325355, or send email to insoymada@gmail.com

About Ruel:

RUEL ANTIPUESTO always wanted to study film, but since time and money never got together, he just took the plunge. He made so many mistakes along the way that he ended up teaching in a film school. He won the grand prize in the 2006 Sinulog video documentary competition, and was cinematographer on the award-winning short, Carpool. He also directed, together with Jerrold Tarog, the multi-awarded film Confessional.  (philippineartscene.blogspot.com)
