Home Short Films Productions

When boredom strikes in the house of my grandmother, my younger cousins and I are doing videos from the collaborated crazy ideas of the team. It seems to be funny but the real thing is that it is very hard to come up a production and produce such a hilarious theme and calling it a film even though we use digital cameras.

The first name of the productions was Home Films. Since, we cannot make videos not longer than 10 minutes, we just decided to rename it as Home Short Films Productions.

The very first produced "film" of this production was "Ang pagbabalik ni Melly" in 2009. This was from Christian Abe's home-made komiks "Melly". the story is about a doll being possessed by an evil spirit. The adaptation was suppose to be the second installment of the "film" but luckily became the first one to be uploaded in the internet. (Christian Abe is my cousin who is fond of making comic strips :D)

The day after finishing "Ang Pababalik ni Melly", we started to produce another "film" and we titled it 11.12. This is about the connection of numbers, revenge and death (Still I cannot get the point of the story, it's mind-bogging).

This Summer 2011, Home Short Films Productions will produce another short film, starring Quennie Diaz of 11.12.

We find this very fulfilling because from just a play, we made it a work of art. Home Short Films Production will continue to produce shorts that are entertaining and for sure, stories that is unusual and nonsense! :D

Squeeze out your Creative Juices

Everyone has their own creative juices. This summer, why not squeeze it and show the world how creative you are! Stop acting that you can’t do an obra- try hard and feel that you are with Michaelangelo, James Cameron, Guillermo Tolentino and Stephanie Meyer.

Be a painter. It’s very easy to paint. You just need a brush, paints or watercolors, a canvass worth cheaper than your cool gadgets and self-confidence. Think of a scene, an object or just express your emotion in an abstract way. For sure your mother will be happy for you have just created a wonderful piece. Make sure you’ll end up cleaning your materials.

Be a writer. You just need a pen, papers and broad imagination. You may write poems, novels, short stories or even essays. Outline first your idea then come up with a rough draft. Revise, encode and print it in a two columned landscaped bond paper. Voila! Let your friends read your write ups. Be sure you are ready for criticism for your improvement.

Be a sculpture. All you need is a handy knife, a piece of wood, perseverance and strength for carving. Have a model or think of an object that delights you most. Carve it into the wood or if you are having a hard time making figure out of the wood, why not try a bar soap. It is softer and aromatic. Make sure your soap sculpture will be displayed not in the bathroom.

Be a director. Why not produce your own mini-movie. You need your handy cams and teamwork with your friends. This is a group art effort so you must have lovable friends to help you in your production, or if you prefer to be solo, it is amazing indeed. Assign a writer, actors, editor and cameraman. For lightings, find alternatives like wide-beam flashlights. Make sure your angles are at its best and shout “cut” if necessary.

If you think you can be an artist and you want to pursue it and be your forever skill, why not enroll in a formal art class. This may help you improve your hidden skills in arts and help you become a good artist. But, for those who don’t want to spend much, right practice will give a free rein to your artistic skills. The good thing is you expressed yourself and made fun with arts. Summer is a period for you to unleash your creative juices. But wait, make certain that you will have your own art exhibit and let people see your masterpiece from the heart.

Start of something new

Why not create a blog? I think this is a good practice for me since i'm a Communication student.

I am a new blogger. And I welcome myself to this blog of mine.

Anyway, I am also welcoming my visitors of my blog.

In the near future I will be posting write ups, pictures and others that are scoped in my interests.
