Finally, we are on the home stretch of Alamat's Quest for an all original album. With the Concert DVD shoot out of the way, we now move on to the more complicated task of post production work to make the Concert DVD a viable product for market consumption.

Black Pipe has waited for this completion as well since they've finished the Araw at Ulap Concert DVD. The two bands under Sunset Studios will be packaged together and will be marketed to labels this year hopefully signing in as new talent early next year.

I'd like to thank all the people and the staff and performers of Amazing Show for pitching in this project and the Chairman for the opportunity to do something that I really love.

Alamat's venture into the recording industry is almost at its completion with an upcoming video shoot of their live performance for their album DVD. Currently being conceptualized by Casie Villarosa, Director Elmir Castillo and image consultant Joey Puna, Alamat is slated to shoot the album DVD on September 11, 2010 at the Manila Film Center.

The photos below shows Alamat doing a run through of their songs at Sunset Studios...

Alamat - Panaginip

Ang bandang Alamat sa kanilang awiting Panaginip... idinirehe ni Casie Villarosa para sa Center for Philippine Arts and Cultural Entertainment Association, Inc. Ang bidyo na ito ay ginawa sa entablado ng Amazing Show sa Manila Film Center at ginampanan ng mga piling talento at mga kawani ng Amazing Show sa pangunguna ni Roel Ilagan bilang Amanag Hari, Jaytee Castro bilang Prinsesa Jeti at ni Ed Datuin bilang ala Max Alvarado daw. Ang koreograpiya ay ginawa ni Mark Anthony Agana at isinayaw ng mga kalalakihang tagapagtanghal ng Amazing Show.

Maraming salamat sa lahat ng tumulong lalo na ang mga production assistants na nagbigay buhay sa set, kay Santi na kumuha rin ng bidyo at kay Jerry Santos na kumuha ng mga larawan.

the making of Alamat's Panaginip video...

For the first time, I got pissed off with Alamat as they were late for this shoot... a shoot that bothered a lot of folks from the Amazing Show...

Anyway, so long as they are committed to their promise never to be late again, then it's ok... unfortunately, when agitated, my brain cells deplete and therefore I missed a lot of the shots that we were suppose to do. So they ended up in the background of it all and we also ended up with a so-so video that I've yet to publish because I'm simply not happy with it yet...





co-directing the shoot with me was Mark Anthony Agana, Amazing Show's resident choreographer
