1st Basic Film Making Workshop in Bayugan City is a BIG Success
Always have the heart in making your film said Mr. Ronald Gary Bautista to the 61 student participants after they presented five short films as part of the 1st Basic Film Making Workshop conducted at Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish Center last August 17-18, 2013.
Bayugan National Comprehensive High School (BNCHS) invited three speakers who are expert in making quality films from Davao City and already working on different independent filmmakers.
Ms. Angely Pamila Chi, Mr. Jose Bagane Fiola and Mr. Ronald Gary Bautista are all from Davao City, where they promote Bisaya Films by showing their works in different film festivals. All of them are award-winning on their respective movies.
The workshop was presented by Bayugan National Comprehensive High School (BNCHS) in partnership with Binisaya Film Makers in coordination with Balud Art Network to introduce the Bisaya films and inspire young people to make their own movies.
Gusto ko nga makabalo ug edit (I want to learn how to edit) said Kayee Vallejos of 4th year Special Program in Arts (SPA) student. I’m happy to have this workshop, she added.
Most of the groups found the hard part on editing. Some groups had no audio but it wasn’t a hindrance to them but instead it turns into a “Good Job” work.
