The UP Future Library and Information Professionals of the Philippines, the College of Engineering Library II , and Power Mac Center held a video workshop and competition as part of a two-day event that aims to arm participants with useful knowledge in multimedia production and orient them on Apple's multimedia offerings such as Aperture and the iLife suite.
The video workshop and competition was held at the Learning Commons of the College of Engineering Library II and started at 1:00pm. A lecture on the basics of iMovie was delivered by Mr. Melvin Tosino, a Power Mac Center trainer and ECE graduate. After the lecture, students were given a shot at a hands-on experience with iMovie through a mini-filmmaking competition where participants were asked to film and edit a two- to four-minute video on whatever subject they choose, taking full advantage of the software's capabilities. Entries were judged according to story, editing, and presentation.
Participants were given two hours to plan, film, and edit. The light rain failed to hinder some of them, who embarked on short tours in the course of their filming, while others preferred to stay near the venue's vicinity. At the end of the day, two contestants brought home prizes from Power Mac Center.

The
UP FLIPP, in cooperation with Power Mac Center the College of Engineering Library II ,
presents the Photo and Video [Worskhop + Competition].
The first day of the event started with photography in focus. Registration
started at exactly 12 ‘o clock with the members of UP FLIPP handling
the registration area. One by one, the participants were welcomed into
The Learning Commons, the newly opened section of the College of Engineering
Library II. With cameras in tow – camera phone, point-and-click, and
DSLR – they were all prepared to learn from Mr. Gunther Deichmann
– an internationally multi-awarded Australian photographer now based
in Manila, Philippines.
Sir
GD started his lecture with a discourse on the philosophy of a photographer.
He talked about how technology has changed the course of photography
and how its core principles remain the same despite this. Overall, the
most important lessons he gave were:
“Start learning how
to see things.”
“Find a niche that
you really enjoy.”
Afterwards,
he sent off the participants to take pictures based on the theme of
Space and Shadows. Forty-five minutes later, each photographer was asked
to choose three of their best pictures to be sent for judging.

Choosing
the best buddy among the superb and competent members of UP FLIPP was
a great challenge for the new batch of applicants during the recently
held buddy bidding. Everyone was eager to bid their preferred buddies.
They brought with them sacks of PET bottles and piles of newspapers
and white papers for them to acquire enough points to bid for the members.
The event proper started with the Internal Affairs Committee enumerating
the list of UP FLIPP members available for bidding. The breathtaking
bidding process started as the first member was introduced to the applicants.
All of them were really persistent and determined to get their desired
buddies. The bidding wars were full of intensity. Although not everyone
got their preferred buddy, every applicant had one at the end. They
took pictures, exchanged numbers and hoped that the friendships that
begun there will not just last up to the end of the application process
but will remain forever.

At
9 o'clock in the morning, the members of the UP FLIPP together with
the new batch of applicants gathered at the Sunken Grandstand to test
their wits, strength and cooperative skills. The applicants and members
endured lack of resources, handicaps and the continuous danger of sabotage.
The first game, Gawad Kalinga, challenged not only their creativity
and resourcefulness but also their alertness. After building a miniature
house with literally only sticks and straws, the 3 teams had to exchange
houses and guard a treasure not of their own. The second game, Bulag
at Pilay, presented the challenge of handicaps to the players and taught
a good lesson in organization and coordination. The third game, a relay
game with a twist (supposedly "Pass the message with a twist")
was a game of speed, memory, and logic, with a station-based course
and various tasks. The fourth game, Buhay Patay, united the two teams
and gave them a task requiring good task designation and sequencing;
their bodies all had to pass through a small hole without touching the
edges.
And the last game, the sharing between members and applicants,
was the most fun and touching part of the event. The members were told
to write a eulogy for their co-members while the applicants were asked
to answer questions about their choice of organization and their reasons
for joining. At the end of the activity at 1 PM, lessons were learned
and insights were shared between members and applicants as another successful
team building event drew to a close.
