Nokia Cinemaiksi Grand prize winner

Directed by:JP Cuison (Thunderbot3000 inc/http://www.cpluv.com/thunderbot3000/) + Mela Advincula (Countingyellowcars.com)

they all work for LEO BURNETT,MANILA

Round one (October 19-20 I think), we won the Nokia N95 phones :-) The brief for the 17 teams was a split between either, "You know you're Pinoy if..." and "What makes Manila unique?" We got the second topic and came up with "Takatakatok" a 1-minuter experimental symphony of Manila sights and sounds (naks!). The top 5 winning teams get one Nokia phone each, and are entitled for round 2 (where we use the same phones we won to shoot the next compet piece).

During Round 2 (during Subic Ad Congress November 21-22), the theme was on "Change" or "power to change" and the 5 remaining teams had to shoot another 1-minute flick. So we came up with "Imagine" another 1-minuter on the thought of flights of fancy: "change is what we imagine".

We won the 50,000 bucks for the team, and the trip to the Hong Kong Short Film Festival on March 2008 (wahey!)

Briefing, shooting, and editing were all on the spot, produced in just 24 hours or less on both rounds. We had to use the Nokia N95's for the shooting and our laptop as mobile editing machine hehe. :-)
