A Personal Story
Challenging MV Production
The music video production was the most challenging of all given she only had six days in Cebu. She was already throwing ideas with her director-editor Anthony Vios Uy while she was still in the UK. However, the script just couldn’t come to life. It was only when she touched down in Cebu that the concept was finally locked. Pre-production was amazingly done in just 2 days, and the music video was in the can in half a day with only a handful of the crew who also served as the cast!
