A Vote for Seed Interactive

I'm giving my vote to Mr. Ryann Elumba's blog, seedinteractive.com, in the 2008 Philippine Blog Awards. For he is one of the active IT advocate in Zamboanga City, in the Zamboanga peninsula or even for the whole Mindanao. Mindanao needs more active IT enthusiast Like Mr. Elumba for the Mindanaoans to be aware and have a wider view about technology especially in multimedia. Even if his blog will not win for this year's blog awards I'm still proud of this local talent who defies all odds just to promote multimedia industry in Mindanao especially in Zamboanga. More power to Seedinteractive.blogspot.com.

A Dark Forest Tale

At first the movie sounds so "creepy" but as the film started it turns to be "corny". Its just so ironic that in a dark forest its a boy small naughty boy who brings terror!The background music does not suit to the film and it sounds so annoying!

An Ugly Boy

A story about an ugly doll that is an outcast because ugliness that even a drunkard would curse him. He walked away from his neighborhood and stayed to a placed where he is alone. But an ugly girl came and for the first time he is not alone. An ugly boy and an ugly girl, together they look beautiful.=)
The films looks like a stop motion animation for it uses dolls as its character. The background music also adds detail to the film making the main character looks more "kawawa' and a "loser". Sometimes the camera movement is not appropriate for the scene that is taken.Sometimes "masakit sa mata".=)

Sonata

The film is "bitin" and boring.Although the sound is cool for it plays a piano and the graphics is great but outside of that its boring and the story is not that interesting for an animated film. The guy was so "torpe" that he can't even go near to girl and he only looks at her by the window. Well they said that if you really love someone you will really have hard time to express your love. But the question is how would that person know that you love him'her?!Take your chances, after all you will lose nothing if you try...!=)

Solo

The short story is about a photographer who is alone in life who take pictures of places,animals and even people. After he take pictures he will develop it in his dark room and put it together in his house to create a scenery.Then he take a picture of a woman and develop it into a life size picture. He pretended that he had a date when that woman but only realized that still he is alone. He cried in his table then suddenly the cardboard woman he made moved and have life. They enjoyed the time together the cardboard woman had life and the photographer was turned into a cardboard!
The film shows that man really seeks and pursue his own happiness and and would try everything just ton reach that happiness he aims.Sometimes we fail,but the effort we did will remind us that we are the one who makes our own path in life and this path is determined by the choices we chose, whether it could be happiness or something else

Tir Nan Og

Honestly i realy don't get the story of the film.But I still posted it because I think its cool.The setting of the film is not that usual funny looking cartoons that makes everybody laugh.At first, there was a woman and a young girl playing a piano beisde a cliff near the sea.The, suddenly a group of raven came and after they left a man in weird custome showed up,the woman hug the man and bid goodbye to the little girl.The gurl was confused anf followed them by a small boat by the near island.As she saw the man and the woman that was with her earlier at the tip of the cliff she started to wrestle the man, but when the man removed his hat the girl recognized him and hug him. The man and the woman held hands together nad the group of ravens showed up again and when the ravens were gone the man and the woman vanished with them.The girl was left alone.
The setting of the film is fantastic, the lighting effects suits the mood of the film giving it a gloomy and confusing output.The soundtrack also gives more story to the film.A confusing yet an amazing film!=)

Olympics 2008

The animated film is a campaign and at the same time a promotion for the 2008 Beijing olympics.It may not be obvious from the film but it shows some of the sports that is played during olympics like taekwondo,hardle, swimming,diving,gymnastics and marathon...
The animated is great for it really portraits a Chinese atmosphere. From the song to the characters in the film.It really promotes olympics 2008 in Beijing,China

Kiwi!

This is a short animated film which portrays a hard working kiwi who wanted to fly. As we all know kiwis cannot fly. The kiwi bird in the film wanted to fly and to fulfill his dream of flying, he nailed trees on a side of a cliff then jump afterwards.

A Map Leading to Quiapo

Trip to Quiapo is a script writing manual written by one of the Philippines' local script writing guru; Ricky Lee. Trip to Quiapo is a book written to inspire and also to guide those who are new in the field of script writing and to those who wishes to enter the world of script writing.
In the beginning pace of the book Mr. Lee describes or illustrates the life or the characteristics of the three different travelers who went to Quiapo using different ways or method. The first traveler used the usual way/road to get there so he arrive their early and fast. The second traveler made his own way and take the risk. On his way to Quiapo, he had a hard time for the road he toke but got their safe, the second traveler was brave enough to take a risk on choosing a road in going to Quiapo unlike the first traveler who chooses the more convenient and the usual road that many others toke before. Now the third and the last traveler decided to also take a different way and go to a different Quiapo, a Quiapo that he made out of his idea. Mr. Lee explains that the first traveler is like a script writer who chooses to go with the flow or make a script that most writers writes. The second traveler is like a script writer who chooses and makes his own way or own script yet the result is a high quality one. The third and last traveler is like a script writer who gambled and tried to make his own way, his own style of writing and arrive to a new and better Quiapo, a new and better product. Which traveler are you now? What a great message to open a book, it sure helps the readers to be excite and to be curious what is the book really all about.
In the book trip to Quiapo, Mr. Lee illustrate,explains and gives examples on the different ingredients and the different elements and formulas on how to write a good script. From the mos simple to the most complicated scripts. He also gives examples from different international and local films to explains further each topic that he discuss. He even interviewed some of the most promising script writers, directors, video editors and cinematographers in the local film industry.The overall content of the book is all about the stages in script writing;the pre-writing stage, the writing stage and the post-writing stage. Each stage he discuss every techniques,and even problems that a writer could face during that stages. At the end part of the book,Mr. Lee wrote some articles about the hardships and triumphs that a script writer can get and even wrote some letters from his co-script writer friends who experiences also the hardships and the sweet success Mr. Ricky Lee savored in his life being a script writer.
I would say that the book entitled Trip to Quiapo is a good and an inspirational book for those young and active script writers who needs more encouragement and guide from an expert. The book shows some possible problem that a script writer could encounter but also provided encouragement on not giving up and even give tips on how to deal with such problems. It also uses figurative writing using those common things that we see every day to illustrate further the subject matter he wanted to present to his reader. But even the greatest author of the greatest book ever written also commits mistakes. Who does not, we are only humans and its our nature to commit mistakes. I only notice few things in Mr. Lee's book that made me confuse and sometimes loss my interest to read. Mr. Lee sometimes tend to uses terms and do not define it it first that made me not to understand what he is trying to deliver and also some or most of the movies he uses as his examples are the movies that was shown during the 70's
, 80's and the early 90's which young readers like me is not familiar.Lastly, its my first time to read a script writing guide book that was written in taglish (Tagalog-English), I think it would be much formal if he wrote it in pure English or pure Tagalog.
But the book was good, it provided a lot of information and new learnings about script writing even what is life behind the big screen, the life of those people that work hard to provide us good and quality films that most of us didn't commend for the hard work they did just for us to be entertain.If your a young mind curious and wanted to enter the amazing world of film industry particularly in to the island where script writers dwell,Then Mr. Ricky Lee's Trip to Quiapo is for you to read....!Enjoy

A direction from the Director

Last January 26-27, 2008 an independent film maker that is based in Davao Mr.Gutierez Mangansakan II conducted a seminar about basic directing.The said seminar was attended by the BSIT students, MassCom students and some of the faculty and staff of Ateneo de Zamboanga University, and I am one of the participant of that workshop.
Personally,I would say that the workshop was great.The speaker was indeed and expert when it comes into the field of film and film making.From the said seminar I learned some does and don't s in film making, what are the basic needs and the basic rules in film making and how the field of film making evolved from that much expensive project before down to the cheap yet high quality films as of this times that independent film makers produces like Mr. Gutierez Mangansakan.I also learn the different position and angles of the camera when shooting a film,from midi shot to medium shot,from close up to extreme close up and from long shot to extreme long shot. Each kind of shot has its own time, and principles on when and how to use to make your film effective and would be a blockbuster hit.
Mr.Gutierez also imparted to us and some young film enthusiast whom he handle workshop before a very important element or character a film director and every member of the film making team should posses;discipline,dedication to work and self motivation.The most important element in film making that can never be teach and can never be bought.

Blogging 101

Blogging is one of the most common phrase or word that a computer enthusiast can hear or see over a computer screen and in the cyberworld. But what those blogging really means or what is a blog?!According to wikipedia.org a blog (a portmanteu of web log) is a website where entries are commonly displayed in reverse chronological order. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs.
But if we look or search more deeper into what is a blog really is and what it could really do,many new informations about what is a blog comes out than some online dictionaries provide.

Last January,our teacher Mr. Ryann Z. Elumba in our ITMM 105 subject with Mr. Romeo "Sonny Boy" Rabajante Jr. our ITMM 103 teacher held a seminar about blog/blogging and they called it as BLOGGING 101... The said seminar provided me new information about blogging...
In that seminar, I knew that there is a movement in the Philippines especially in Mindanao to localized the blog content of the local bloggers who lived in this place. The group of Mindanao bloggers agreed all together to make the content of their blogs local and would provide information about Mindanao.
In that seminar also I learned that making your blog unique from the others is important to attract more readers and also keeping your blog updated is a factor to the blog readers worldwide.
Also I learned that having a blog (a unique blog) could help a simple student like me earn some extra money out from blogging...I learned a lot from that seminar that I could not post all my learnings in this post...If you want to know more about blogging 101 just visit this blog....seedinteractive.blogspot.com..Tnx poh d_b

What is Computer Aided Instruction?

“Computer-assisted instruction” (CAI) refers to instruction or remediation presented on a computer. Many educational computer programs are available online and from computer stores and textbook companies. They enhance teacher instruction in several ways.

Just as word-processing on personal computers revolutionized the ways that all writers worked, fully networked computer classrooms can improve the ways we teach composition at every level. Students with word processors tend to write more than those who must write longhand (and with greater legibility), but composition CAI (Computer Aided Instruction) involves more than just generating text. In a well-equipped computer classroom and with proper training, instructors can do everything they could do in a standard classroom, but the computers allow them to accomplish many additional goals that would otherwise be difficult or impossible. Projection screens enhance demonstrations and allow for shared-screen work; local network servers facilitate paperless transfer of files; access to the Internet can turn each seat into a library; and on-line conferencing can make the students more active, written participation by every student.

One of the most important reasons why CAI was created is that students like learning in the environment that the computer has to offer. CAI packages of today are much more user-friendly and entertaining than their ancestors. “These technologies move us light years beyond the boring drill that early educational software promoted, and allow highly engaging activities like multimedia simulation.” (Gifford, 1993) Students can now work at their own pace regardless of the level at which they are supposed to be. This promotes self-confidence because it gives the student a feeling of control over what they are learning. “The computer has allowed the student to become a more active participant in his/her education...” (Matray & Proulx, 1995)

Contrary to traditional teaching methods, CAI helps the student to remain focused on the topic at hand. In a classroom, it is easy for students to simply nod their heads every time the teacher looks in their direction. However, CAI programs insure that students pay attention and understand by constantly testing them on the information they are being taught. This is especially helpful in teaching subjects with which students often have difficulty. One example of such an application is a program that teaches Newton’s Third Law. A study was conducted, demonstrating this program’s effectiveness. The teachers found that the students were very inventive and actually enjoyed learning this normally difficult topic. “The use of these methods saved considerable class time and, best of all, post-test results show that the students absorb, internalized and retained the Newton’s third law (the end of the school year).” (Malone & Reiland, 1995)

Computer Aided instruction are also effective because they deal with more practical examples than those a textbook can offer and give students virtually a hands-on experience. Students may be exposed to experiences or mock-ups that they would not normally encounter. (Mumford, 1992) Group work has also become a much more important part of the classroom environment. Similar to the workplace students are encouraged to collaborate their ideas and thoughts with other members of their “team”. This is becoming a necessary skill which will benefit these students for the rest of their lives.

CAI technology has brought with it radical changes to the conventional classroom/laboratory. Teachers, students and parents have all been required to change their role in education. The teacher’s role has changed “from that of an oracle of knowledge to a guide and/or resource person.” (Matray & Proulx, 1995) As previously mentioned, students have changed from complacent, passive onlookers to active participants in the classroom. CAI has encouraged students to “explore more and memorize less.” (Matray & Proulx, 1995) Now more than ever, parents are strongly encouraged to take an active part in their child’s education. Since the software programs are available on the market, parents have the chance to bring education into the home at an affordable price.

Examples of CAI applications include guided drill and practice exercises, computer visualization of complex objects, and computer-facilitated communication between students and teachers. The number of computers in American schools has risen from one for every 125 students in 1981 to one for every nine students in 1996. While the United States leads the world in the number of computers per school student, Western European and Japanese schools are also highly computerized.

Information that helps teach or encourages interaction can be presented on computers in the form of text or in multimedia formats, which include photographs, videos, animation, speech, and music. The guided drill is a computer program that poses questions to students, returns feedback, and selects additional questions based on the students' responses. Recent guided drill systems incorporate the principles of education in addition to subject matter knowledge into the computer program.

Computers also can help students visualize objects that are difficult or impossible to view. For example, computers can be used to display human anatomy, molecular structures, or complex geometrical objects. Exploration and manipulation of simulated environments can be accomplished with CAI—ranging from virtual laboratory experiments that may be too difficult, expensive, or dangerous to perform in a school environment to complex virtual worlds like those used in airplane flight simulators.

CAI tools, such as word processors, spreadsheets, and databases, collect, organize, analyze, and transmit information. They also facilitate communication among students, between students and instructors, and beyond the classroom to distant students, instructors, and experts.
