SUPERMAN is LOVE

I'm so in love with SUPERMAN.


Last week was another hell week but not as hell-ish as last last week. I had 2 productions to prepare for plus a comm res paper.


My TUESDAY was half crazy. I didn't attend my journ101 class because i felt so lazy to. hahaha. come on. that was the first time i did that this school year. plus, there's not much to miss. just a couple of lectures. haha. stubborn mode.


The only class that i attended that day was my i-wish-i-didn't-take Media Law class. Given a choice, i would really love to drop that class. Not because I was having a hard time academically but because of something that's just not worth it. oh well. life sucks. sometimes.


WEDNESDAY. I DIDN'T HAVE A CLASS. but it was still mega tiring. I woke up early to do my EVP stuff. Then rushed to SC to have my pics for my Music Interpretation production printed out. Then met with Rona, Dina and Karen to rehearse my camera shots for my production. Exte meeting pa after. And as if i wasn't very very tired yet, i still had to go to SM to buy props for my Music Interpretation production. Then Mareng Carrie and I met with Longjay and Rox over dinner to discuss some Broad Ass stuff. Tapos, pag uwi sa bahay, prepare galore for my Music Interpretation production until 6 in the morning.


THURSDAY. M.I. PRODUCTION DAY. I overslept for 2 hours. I was only aiming for 3 hours of sleep. But no, nakatulog talaga ako ng bonggang-bongga. Good thing, we didn't have a class in my BC103 (radio scriptwriting class). Kundi naloka na talaga ako ng bonggang-bongga. so Ayun naman, muntik na ko malate at ma-5.0 ng walang kalaban-laban. BUT! I'll talk about this later. hahaha. Mahabang kuwento ito. :)


FRIDAY. Comm res and BC 102 (Radio performance) overlapped. We finished our consultation with Ma'am Almond re our research instruments at around 1145am. We have to submit our final instruments by 4pm. My BC 102's at 1-4pm. Meaning, Dina, Karen and I only have 1 hour and 15 mins to finish everything. BUT! for more, Broad Ass genmeet's scheduled at 12pm, same day. We didn't have any choice but to skip the meeting to work on our paper. Good thing Roch took the initiative to work on our paper while we're having our midterm performance for our BC 102 class.


BC 102 was crazy. Again, we disappointed Ma'am Pinky. Good thing we were able to redeem ourselves. During rehearsals, i was having a really hard time changing voices and avoiding falling into a pattern. The moment i got hold of the mic in the talent's booth of the radio studio, i literally shook away all the nervousness in me and ACTED in front of the mic while reading the script (as in with facial expression and hand gestures and all). I swear i could feel my knees wobbling big time. Gusto na talaga niyang bumigay habang binabasa ko ung script. But no, di puwede. As i read on, to my surprise, i was actually enjoying what i was doing. Bottomline, Ma'am Pinky said I did pretty well. I was very happy.


Good thing there was wifi in the radio studio because as soon as i finished my radio performance, i hurriedly logged on to meebo to chat with Roch and finish our Comm Res paper. Take note. i was doing this in front of Ma'am Pinky. ahahaha. Buti nalang nakapikit siya kapag nakikinig sa mga radio performers. :) We were able to finish it late but Ma'am Almond accepted our excuse, anyway. Weee! :)


So there. Masyado na tong mahaba. hahaha.


BACK TO THURSDAY! PRODUCTION TIME. I've been preparing for my production since last saturday. It ate most of my time and allowance. Broad Comm people sure know what i meant by this. Grabe lang talaga ang buhay sa mass comm. Haggard kung haggard! My TV Productions meant sooooo much to me. If there is a subject right now where i really want to excel in, that would be in my TV Prod class.


I was the first person in our class to have a three-camera set-up for a live production. Woohoo! Nagmamaganda lang talaga ako. hahaha. Gusto ko lang pahirapan sarili ko. hahaha. Seriously now, I wanted to give my cameramen longer time to prepare for their shots. (Background: For our Music Interpreation Production (MI), we were asked to produce a LIVE music video using only stills and camera movements.)


So there. I was able to use my 10mins preparation time wisely. My 5-min airtime was a breeze. Everything really went well. As in everything. I could already feel SUPER HAPPINESS creeping to my bones when i heard the bridge of SUPERMAN. Then i dissolved to VTR. Then i stopped the master tape. Faded out sound and vision. and thanked my crew. Then silence. Then SUPER HAPPINESS. Then everybody suddenly applauded. And Roch , my Tech director, and Jenin, my VTR person, hugged me at the same time. Then it dawned on me. I did it. I was SUUUUPER happy. Then i turned my director's chair to look at Ma'am Jane. She was smiling and mumbled something which sounded like,

"GOOD JOB!"


It was one of the best feelings in the whole wide universe. I was SUUUUUUUUUUPER HAPPY! I hurriedly went down to the floor to thank my crew personally. Everybody was talking at the same time, mumbling words that were just too good to be true, but were REALLY TRUE. I hugged anybody and everybody i could reach. I was so overwhelmed with happiness.


SUPERMAN, the song i chose for my MI, was the last live production that i had to do for my TV prod class and it was one of the best experiences i've had so far in my broad comm life. And i wouldn't have been able to do it without the help of my SUPER CREW!


SUPER THANK YOU CREW!


Thank you DINA, KAREN, and RONA for being super great camerapersons. I coudln't thank you three enough. :)


Thank you NICOLE for being such a great, perky and focused FD. I had fun talking with you over the headphone. haha. Your being relaxed helped me relax too.


Thank you MISCHI, BERYL, LINDO, MARIAN, ANJ and KAY for a job well done as my GFX persons. You made my life soooo much easier.


Thank you APRILLE and JENIN, my VTRpersons, and SAM, my AE, for being very supportive. It was nice to have you all with me in the control room.


Thank you TIN, for being a great AD. I really appreciate your help.


Thank you ROCH, for being a very attentive, dependable and cool Tech Director. I swear, you really did a great job.


Of course, thanks to our beloved prof, MA'AM JANE. Nothing kiss-ass here. I wouldn't have been able to do everything without her much effort to teach us what we had to know.


Second to the last, thank you BROAD ASS. Really. I wouldn't have been able to do everything that i did in my MI production and even in my past productions without the knowledge that i was and still is getting from the org. It was in BROAD ASS that i first learned of the technical concepts of headroom, babad shots, and camera shots, and of course, the very concepts of time management and batch unity. At marami pang iba. I love Broad Ass more than three times. :)


And last, but definitely not the least, THANK YOU GOD. You are the real SUPERMAN. :)



THANK YOU ALL! my last week was super crazy.

But see, I learned. (Nido, 2008)
