Amazing Race Asia 3: Audition Video

AXN Asia has just begun their search for would-be participants of the 3rd Season of The Amazing Race Asia. My bestfriend Shirman Tan and I decided to apply this time around by sending an audition video to the producers of the reality show. I picked Shirman as my racing partner because he has been my buddy for 22 years; since gradeschool. I just know we would make a perfect team in the race. He's brainy and I'm sporty----a winning combination, don't you think? As you may have noticed, Shirman is the rather serious and stoic character. I, on the other hand, am the loud and wild one. That's how we are in real life, so there really was no acting here at all. We normally speak in Tagalog, but the rules of the Amazing Race Asia application stated that we had to speak in English here.

Lucky for you, this is the whole length of the actual audition video. The one I submitted to AXN I had to cut down to 3 minutes in order to follow the instructions specified by the network producers. Due to that, I had to delete the "talking Allan Wu" composite, the "Peanut Butter & Jelly" clip, the "Bald One" joke and the "Pie--in-the-Face" scene. It's really a pity because they were really funny parts of the original version.

Shirman and I had a lot of fun shooting this audition video. I wrote the whole script and even did storyboards to plan everything. I directed Shirman and myself on a blue chroma reflect media studio weeks ago. After digitizing all the raw clips, I edited the whole sequence in Adobe Premiere, added sound effects & musical scores in AcidPro and then placed graphics & artwork in Adobe After Effects. Whew!!! That's me.... a one-man production house!!!! Jason O. Telmo -- Director, Writer, Video/Audio Editor, Motion Graphics Specialist, Storyboard Artist and hey....even an Actor!!!

It's a good thing my broken leg healed quickly or I wouldn't have been able to run on the street for the race scenes in the video. We completed the audition tape weeks ago and are just waiting to be contacted by AXN. Hmmmmm.....I'm beginning to doubt that we were chosen because it's been a long time already and still no word from them. :-( Oh well, atleast Shirmsky and I had a blast doing this crazy thing. There's always next year to apply again.

Anyway, I hope you like this video. To all my youtube friends, I encourage you to comment and rate this video upload. I'd appreciate it if you could even suggest what gimmicks I could have done to make this audition video more extraordinary. I really would like to hear from you. Thanks for reading this super long description. Enjoy your viewing! CHEERS!!! :-)

The only reason why I'd enter the Amazing Race would be to travel the world. The one million dollars would be good too, but I wouldn't be extremely upset if I lost. I'd be happy to have been able to have gone all over the world for free. You've already been to a bunch of countries, so the Amazing Race probably wouldn't be that big of a deal to you.

@suddnstar - Not really a bunch of countries. But yeah, who doesn't want to travel the whole world for free? Thank you for taking time to watch my videos, suddnstar. :-)

@chinaeyes22 - Kung pwede lang! LOL!!!! :-)

[chinaeyes22]

@cuteannabanana - There's a rule that says you cannot apply again with the same partner. You have to get a new partner if you want to try out for the Amazing Race Asia again. Thanks for watching and commenting, Anna. :-)
