Peter Having set up a startup, a video production company, here in the Philippines I’m always looking for tools, advice, anything that can help me make our business better.

Geraldine Last week, we went to the world’s (and US) second-largest stock exchange company Nasdaq to shoot their office interior for a video series showcasing their international locations. Stepping onto the 7th floor of their Taguig office, I am immediately transported back to 2009 when I started working for a Chinese software company Xilisoft, where I…

It was on that trip interviewing and speaking to coffee farmers that made me realize just how hard it was for farmers. People sitting in Starbucks or other fancy coffee corporate chains don’t think about…
Peter I’m always interested to hear about other people’s creative process. This series of stunning videos entitled the Creative Class is fascinating as all the interviewees talk about the influence of technology on their work and creativity. The videos are beautifully shot and the sound design is just superb. I’m not sure if the series is…
Peter We’ll its been a while since we focused on still images as video is really what we spend most of our time doing. We decided to try and take a few portraits of Hoochie Coochie Mikkie, a talented blues musician we met at the Pasyal at Manila. He was so passionate and belted out…
