Bantayan Island, shot for the Department of Tourism. 4 days of location shooting using the 7D HDSLR just when it came out.

Nide Video Ted. I think it gets the message out loud and clear and some really awesome images to boot.

Just curious:
Is there some voice over planned?
Who is the audience for this, as in outside the Philippines?

Thanks Shiv,

I'm changing the approach in this material not to include a voice over, as I want the viewer to savor the visuals without being influenced by the slant of a verbal narrative. As for the essential trivia I decided to use captions. I think an emotional response from a viewer becomes his own personal experience if i leave out a voice over.

Yes, this will be used for and outside the philippines. And since most of our current target countries are non english speaking thus I left out the narrative.

Also I received a useful tip from your servers to the ideal bitrate for the videos, VERY HELPFUL INDEED! I've transcoded a higher bitrate version which I will update in a moment.

Ted,

Yes I see your point. Indeed I had my own interpretation of what I was seeing and so was curious to see if I was getting the intended "micro" message. I mean I get the "macro" message loud and clear and I think this piece will work for what it is intended.

So as the director you call the shots? Are you working directly with the client or is there an ad agency involved?

Sorry I'm just curious to understand how you work.

Thank you for letting me know that you find the automated emails we send out helpful. That is the intent.

Shiv,

Good question. Yes I do call the shots. The relationship is based on trust built over the years for this particular client.

As to the resorts that get included, thats the clients call, in this case the department of tourism included only those resorts that are accredited and passed their requirements.

I'm an advertising major graduate as well so I can communicate the concept and content aspect of the project skipping the agency component saves cost to the client.

My country has very limited funds compared to the billions of dollars spent by our neighbors for their tourism promotion. I'm just doing my share in helping my country compete without killing their budget and at the same time has a material that is competitive.
