Day 16

My accounts buddy, Karen.

Today, Ms. Junette asked me to do an errand for her. TV 5 was going to have a shoot and the clothes that the talent was going to wear were still not ready. She gave me some cash and asked me to buy 2 pairs of basketball jerseys. Kevin M., Sam and Joni came with me and helped me pick out the jerseys. I ended up with one Nike set and one Adidas set. 

Later that day, Ms. Ria had me make a comparison of Apple ipad 2 and Samsung galaxy tab. It was fun checking out the different comments on the products however the specifications and technical words were a bit harder to understand. Anyways, I finished my task within the day and concluded that Samsung Galaxy tab was better than the competition.

This is what I came up with. I'd like to share it with you all. ;)

Today we had the offline editing for the PLDT Call All shoot which I was very excited to see. It’s amazing to see how the storyboard came to life and how detailed everything was. After comments from DM9 were made, a few shots were deleted and added and some were rearranged. I couldn’t wait to see the re-edited version.
