GMA Network: Maria Clara at Ibarra

I'm so proud to have done my part for a well-loved and warmly received teleserye that is now trending at the top spot on Netflix in the country. What may have been an otherwise boring text book retelling has become a remarkable phenomenon in Philippine television. What with the rich storytelling, the attention to detail with the sets and costume and stellar portrayals, it's no wonder that Maria Clara at Ibarra became such a hit!

Puregold: EJ Obiena

When you get to meet and work with a record-breaking pole vaulter like EJ Obiena, you can't help but bring your A game to the photo shoot. I always mange to come prepared the past decade but photographing the Olympian and seeing how passionate and determined he is at his sport reignited that fire and reminded me of my own purpose. Not only did his dedication rub off on me but his humility and sincerity as well. Such a nice guy! Go EJ Obiena! Go Philippines! Production Credits Client: Puregold Agency: Re:Public

Betadine Feminine Care

Demo Reel 2021

https://youtu.be/wd5AMz2LMPg Since lockdown started, we've somehow learned to work around the limbo that was 2020. Even if we've had to shoot from home for a time, we've discovered new ways to stay busy and persistently creative while staying connected. There's always a silver lining through all of this and with safety protocols and mandatory swab tests in place, we in Point Blank are very much grateful to be able to still do what we love doing and that is making great quality eye popping content for all of you. It's just a matter of time (and patience!) before we get…

Happy 2021!

For some, 2020 was a big blur that began in March and zipped right unto the Christmas season. For most of us, it was a very inconvenient truth that we all had to swallow with businesses closing left and right, working and shooting from home and strict adherence to lockdown rules and curfews among so many other disappointments. And yet for others, it’s been a nightmare year marked by tragedy and loss. But no matter what, the past year has forced us to reflect on and evaluate what truly matters, work with the resources at hand, seek alternative means of…

Union Bank Online Content

We've been getting a lot of online content projects as of late and our clients prioritize their presence in social media. We've also felt a demand for a look that is more organic and less polished increasing relatability of viewers to posts. This is important since we live in a world where there is more inclusion and diversity. Here's a photo shoot that brought us all around Quezon City and Ortigas.

Behind The Scenes: Descendants of the Sun

What happens when we can't have the photo shoot on location? We bring the location to the studio! When you're at the mercy of inclement weather and there are deadlines to beat, the job of a production designer/art department becomes all the more crucial. For GMA Network's version of the koreanovela Descendants of the Sun, an army camp and barracks had to be painstakingly recreated inside a small space for the pictorial. I have to admit that our PD did quite a very awesomely meticulous job with the details and textures we worked with on that day. I think that…

The new SMAC

Here are some head shots for the new SM Advantage Card. This rebranding is very timely just before the Christmas rush! Simple setup really! A beauty dish above center and in front of talent and a soft box right behind the photographer. For added punch, a hairlight falling on the talent's head and shoulders!
