April 16, 2011: On the Job
I
got a call from Nikon a few weeks back, and was asked to do a shoot for
their new line of Nikon CoolPix point and shoot cameras. The shoot
would be 3 separate shoots all scheduled on the same day. It was a tough
challenge, but one that I was up to! On the day of the shoot, I asked
her if she wanted to tag along. She said she wasn't too busy, so she was
glad to.
I
picked her up at her place, and we headed to UP Diliman to meet up with
the team for the first shoot of the day. It turned out that the first
shoot of the day was gonna be in Ortigas, so we all crammed into my
smallish sedan, with all the equipment, and we headed over to Ortigas.
The shoot with Gang Badoy started some time after 1pm, and we finished
at around 2:30.
The
2nd shoot of the day with Ramon Bautista was scheduled for 2pm, so we
had to hightail on back to UP for that shoot. We met up with Ramon at
around 4pm, and did the shoot outdoors until the sun set at around 5:30.
By that time, I was already a bit tired, but I tried to hide it,
because I was trying to impress someone (wink, wink! :P). The last shoot
of the day with Laureen Uy and Carlos Concepcion was scheduled for 6pm
at Pioneer Studios back in Ortigas, so we had to cram everyone back into
my car, and I drove like a madman back to Ortigas to get to the shoot.
We arrived at around 7:30 but the models were not even ready yet! The
HMUA was still working her magic on them, so we had some moments to
relax a bit and screw around.
The
shoot ended at around 10:30PM, and by that time, I was exhausted. She
was a bit worried as well, since her place had a 10Pm curfew. I took her
home, and thankfully, the gate was still open! :) I took her to the
gate, and saw her in. Once she was safely inside, I headed home. It was
a long journey because I was already so tired. By the time I got home,
it took all my strength to send her a message letting her know that I
was home, and have a good night. Next thing I know, it was morning!
Whew, what a day!
