This is truly a great honor to speak before a live audience of american videographers. I would estimate at least 400 participants.
My topic was filmmaking and I was sharing with them the valuable lessons that my mentor Dir Marilou Diaz Abaya taught me. I started off with some basic principles, like 1+1=3, movements ( both camera and subject ), and 180 degree rule but I wasn't sure if i got through because it's really a bit of a challenge to fit all these principles into an hour. I devoted the last 30 minutes showing off excerpts of imacron's best works. They do this stuff in the Philippines ? commented an american. Ha ha... You bet!
Because it is impossible to fit everything into an hour, the Q & A portion extended till I exited the seminar hall. I just wished I had more time.
