Unravel More

A month before the competition, Ma'am Vilma Buladas, my Advanced Biology teacher, encouraged me to make a music video about Math and Science. I highly appreciated how she recommended me from the rest of the video editors in school. I didn't personally know why I should be the one to be chosen in the competitions inside and outside the school since I'm not that kind of pro in making stuffs but I really thank her for being so kind to me. She really appreciated every atom of my work! I really love and miss her! :) Regarding the video, I struggled with the questions that bothered my mind: What will be my concept? What camera should we use? Does a month fit for the completion of the video? etc. That time, we were rehearsing for the upcoming contest: Journalism, me as the technical operator of our broadcasting team, so I think, time schedule might hinder the progress of the video. Journalism week passed and we hadn't done anything with the video.

One week before the submission of videos, we finalized our plan but it was really a mess since the lyrics and the music to be used were not yet created. Four days left, we had created the lyrics and the singers had recorded their vocals/a capella. The day after, we were about to shoot our video but the DSLR didn't have a video mode so we became hysterical that time. Replacement was used through the help of iPad. Portrayed forthwith, members of my group were so good to play their roles and they were really easy to accompany with. Unfortunately, we hadn't finished the quarter half of the shoot so we needed to be in school the next day. I did the completion: shot part by myself. No sleep, maybe wee hours. The day after, we completed the shoot. It was fun for us to be in the state of hopelessness since we were not hoping to win, just wanted to pass it and have an entry. Rendering the video was the hardest part of editing for me since it took 12 hours to fully finish the whole vid.

This butterfly went to our shooting place but flew so rapidly

Picnic Grove! :)

It was Monday then: the time of submitting the 3 video entries: 4:00pm. The first group struggled with the video format. The second group did not pass a video. And we, the third group, also struggled 'bout the chorus part. Since it will be passed at 4pm, we did revisions. Through the help of faculty and staff, we were given some materials to make the video better. We also had a chance to pick Harold Lacson as the 'Mr. Geometry' since he was wearing an extra-terrestrial suit that time: they were also practicing speech choir for the upcoming contest. Working hurriedly with the vid, I did not attend classes that time and only did check the rendering of the video from time to time. I really made the video through the inspiration and help of Ma'am Buladas, she kept on telling me that I could do it. It was 4pm. Freshly rendered, the video was submitted late along with the other entry but it was accepted according to Ma'am. Despite of losing hope, we kept on praying that our entry will be recognized.

Given quickly the results, Ma'am Buladas congratulated me ahead that our video won - 1st! Champion! We really did not expect it since the video was really rushed and our rivals were San Beda, Elizabeth Seton, Saint Benilde, and other big private schools! Praise really be to GOD! :)

Competition. Wooohooooh! De La Salle - Canlubang! Since we already knew the results, it was a relief for us to goof around the vicinity of La Salle - Canlubang. Still, there was that certain feeling of worrisome since we were not yet proclaimed formally but via call only. Hahahaha! :) 

Our school oh! :)

Program. The competition started with a prelude National Anthem and other patriotic stuffs, followed by the dance presentation of the cheerleaders of La Salle - Canlubang. They chose people to dance with them. With no embarrassment, I volunteered to dance since all of my schoolmates and teachers forced me to do so *I was known at school who dances Gangnam* :))

Hohoho

Awarding. Yeah! :) Really proclaimed. Anxieties were clarified. We really won :) :) 

:)

This achievement wouldn't be possible without the help of the 2 departmental heads of my former school - Science and Mathematics and to our great principal. Also to our coaches, Ma'am Vilma Buladas, Ma'am Merlyn Estrada, Ma'am Arlene Vergara and Ma'am Bernalyn Magbitang.
