Open to work: [email protected] Hi there!

I'm a filmmaker based in the Philippines with over 10 years of experience in creating videos. My passion for film has led me to develop a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of the craft. Currently, I'm focusing on color grading, which adds a whole new dimension to the visual storytelling process. I'm constantly striving to push the boundaries of my art and capture moments that resonate w

ith audiences. I can't wait to share my work with you and hope to inspire others to pursue their creative passions.

Random realization while checking camera rentals in Korea:
Rentals here seem around 2 to 3 times cheaper than what I usually see in the PH.

I saw an Alexa Mini LF full set with Supreme lenses listed at around β‚±35k for 24 hours, and an FX6 at around β‚±3k for 24 hours. and the crazy part is you can just pick it up 24H without a care taker.

Makes me realize why even small prods here can look high budget. When better gear is easier to rent, production value becomes easier to push.

A factor is probably a result of their whole film ecosystem, and government support is part of that ecosystem. Korea does have strong industry support through the Korean Film Council

More demand, because Korea has a very active film scene. More supply and faster gear turnover, because rental shops can keep cameras working more often, so they can charge lower daily rates and still make money.

Using AI for compositing

Backgrounds were generated using the actual subject as the lighting reference, The background conformed to the subject, not the other way around. Adobe After Effects was used to bring back important details that were lost and to manually track some elements. AI helped with the smaller relighting details, especially around the hair strands, so the relighting was very minimal. Get it right on shoot and you’ll always have cleaner outputs. I used the new tool 'Cinefocus' in Davinci Resolve for the realistic lens blur effect that helped in adding more realism to the shot.

Sign of the times

18/04/2026

Thanks to for letting me use their platform for this project.

Main tools: Seedance 2 for video generation, and Nano Banana for keyframes using my own cinematic prompting framework, built to control color tone, lens language, and film texture.

The process: write the storyboard, convert each frame into keyframes with Nano Banana Pro, generate multiple clips, b-rolls, establishing shots through Seedance 2, then cut and assemble everything piece by piece.
