My Cebu – in a blur.

Last year I went to the Philippines to study at a filmschool in Cebu for one year, it was perfect since I am half filipino and wanted to see the country my mother is from. I took alot of pictures during my stay in asia and here I want to share a few that I took with a small russian automatic film camera called the Lomo LCA. All these pics were taken on the way to the studio by foot and tricycle (small moped with extra seat on the side).

The Philippines is the biggest christian country in asia this little church was right in front of the place I used to stay, right in the middle of nowhere. I used to see some people holding a mess while walking by even at night sometimes.

Random Shot #10

This picture right here shows the little church that was right in front of the place I used to live in for almost a year in Cebu Philippines. The area looked a little creepy at night but it was really save, even though my apartment almost fell apart after a few typhoons that hit Cebu last year haha. I remember that I was asleep and heard something banging, I didnt care and thought something just fell down when I finally got up and went to the bathroom and saw that my ceiling in the shower had a huge hole! The ceiling just fell down, I was lucky I wasnt taking a shower when that happened.

picture was taken with a Lomo LC-A with black and white film but I think the photoshop processed it with chemicals for colorfilm or some low quality stuff haha it has a weird greenish effect.

When I studied film…

Hey,

last year I went to Cebu, Philippines to study film, I studied there for about 2 semesters and I learned alot about cinematography, film history, screenwriting, producing and even  acting.  It gave me the opportunity to learn how to shoot a shortfilm, a music video or a documentary and I was a director, a cameraman, an actor or editor.

I wanted to show you one of the shortfilms we shot while I was studying in Cebu, I even have a little cameo in it. When we shot it I was the assistant director I had to keep track of things like the shots and the time schedule to keep the whole shoot moving, you have to be stress resistant I can tell you that.

Random Shot #2

Hello

another day another random shot!

This one here I took last year in a mall in Cebu, Philippines. I remember that it was around the time of Sinulog or another festival. Sinulog is the biggest festival in the Philippines, it can be compared to a carneval where people are partying in the streets watching the parade where they worship the Santo Niño.
