Cape Bolinao Lighthouse in Patar. Taken with Nokia N82
I’ve always wanted to add a multimedia feature on my blog. In fact, I announced early last year that I would be doing an Ian Wright thing and present some of my travels in a video documentary feature. That may not be too far off the future. For now, here’s my very first video-log on our recent family outing in Bolinao, Pangasinan. Somehow this is also a bit sentimental since after more than 5 years, our whole family is together on this vacation since one of my sister in Canada and another from the USA decided to come home. Video after the jump.
Title: Pride of Bolinao
Video Direction and Editing: Ferdz Decena
Music: Eso Es by Viggo
Duration: 2:44
The videos here were taken with the Nokia N82. It has a nice 640×480 resolution on 30fps which is actually very good compared to my crappy video recording on my Sony Ericsson K800i. I just wish Nokia added a tripod mount so I can shoot more steadily. More on that later. This is the first in the series of Videos I will be uploading so I do hope you guys enjoy it.
And an additional good news! I will be holding my first one-man-show exhibit from the 11th of May onwards until the end of the month. It will be held somewhere in Makati. I will fill in the details as soon as it’s been ironed out but the date is already definite. So that will be exciting and hope to see you guys there.
@ Tina: The lighthouse was recently renovated so it looks brand new. Thanks Tina
@ iRonnie: Thanks. It’s a popular venue so hope you can drop by
@ Rayts: Haha! Will post some photos from N82 later. Either blocked ang youtube sa inyo or wala kang flash player installed. Thanks! Will keep you guys posted.
@ Toe: It is one of the most scenic resorts I’ve seen. Will have a post about it later.
@ Sidney: Thanks! The old style photographs will stay as always.
@ Rhodyl: Wow! Bili na!
@ Carlotta: Do try to visit the place if you get the chance again. Thanks!
@ BW: It was a bit windy at that time, but not always like that. I heard the during the Balloon Festival at Clark, they didn’t allow the balloons to fly at that time as well. Thanks BW!
@ Lino: Glad you enjoyed the video. Was amused with the music as well and thought it was a perfect fit fot the images.
@ Juliet: Glad to be able to take you home for a while. The resort is Punta Riviera in Bolinao. Will post about it next.
@ Lawstude: Thanks and looking forward to see you there.
@ biyahengpinoy: Hahaha! Mas maganda pa din quality ng video mo. Pag kinuha na yung Nokia N82 sa akin, wala na kong gagamitin.
@ Wil: Thanks Wil! Will look into that model and see if I can add another gear in my bag for video shoots.
@ Eds: Thanks! I only have a couple lined up so far.
