When I was in college I had experienced
many things that sometimes I forget if it is part of the curriculum. It was
those days that I become a believer of the saying, “Everything happens for a
reason.”
It happened this way. One day in my
college life during my thesis group came in late for the next class because we
had to print an article that had been revised by our adviser. It so happened that the teacher for that next
class and our thesis adviser is the same.
When he saw our group he asked, “Why
are you late?”
One of us answered, “Sir, we were printing
something for our thesis the one that you revised.”
“But I am not asking for it today.”
We became the center of attention at
that time. I don’t know how I felt that time. Surely I was nervous because
being late in one of his class means a consequence is on the way.
Our teacher then asked, “What am I
going to do with your group?”
I did not respond. But I know in my
mind I was smiling. I was like, “Bring it on.”
He then said, “I’ll let this pass
but in one condition. You will be producing a music video. That would be an
entry for the upcoming 2nd MCS Festival. There are few entries
anyway.”
After brainstorming ideas we decided
to call our group as F2F Production. It was taken from our thesis title which
was the reason why we are doing it. Instead of complaining we found humor on
it. We then picked a song by Regine Velasquez “Tuwing Umulan.” The roles were
easily decided I was a production assistant.
Our first location of shooting was
at Ninoy Aquino Parks and Wildlife Center. It is a zoological and botanical
garden with a lagoon. But we only saw few animals because according to the
caretaker the other are being treated.
We were determined to finish it
by that day but we decided that we needed another location. During the break I
had an opportunity to take photos. We had fun pretending we are professional
photographer. See photos below.
You know what? We won third
place during the awarding ceremony. Despite having a short period of doing the music video I am
proud to say that we manage to surpass everyone’s expectation.
