Climax of OJT

Yesterday was a looooooooooooooong day!

Well, three of the five interns of our ad agency were given the opportunity to join the first day of shooting TVCs for a new account—the second day is tomorrow.At first, I thought it was going to be in a studio—not exciting for me, but it didn’t hold there, which was a good thing.

We were provided a shuttle by the production house and we were brought from the office in Makati to a golf club somewhere in Pasay/EDSA around 8am. Hahaha. They shot the teaser and intro TVCs for a particular campaign scenario there. It took them/us the whole day for that, but I should say that it was the best for that day. The weather was friendly albeit some rainfalls and muddy feet. The TVCs shot in that location also were a good laugh! Two thumbs up!

At around 6pm, we went to Shaw MRT Station for the next scenario/story, also for teaser and intro TVCs. The shoot started at around 9pm! So just imagine what time it ended. I don’t know the time exactly, because I insisted to my fellow interns for to leave at 12mn (we were not forced by the agency to finish the shoot. We’re still students after all). The TVC that was shot in MRT station was not as funny as the one in the golf club. That’s why I got bored. And my eyes were already tired of watching the monitor for the shots taken again and again… and again and again. I actually felt them burning last night.

Yes, yesterday was indeed a long day… and it came with buffet lunch and dinner… and air-conditioned portalets. :P

PS. I will, if sinipag ako, talk more in details on these TVCs after their first air on TV which I guess will be in early November. =)
