12.11.11 - Behind The Video - De-Grudge

Hi guys! De-Grudge was probably one of the exciting videos I created for my channel. The inspiration for the video came from my love of Sarah Michelle Gellar. She was always casted in horror films and The Grudge was probably one of the most unique horror films she's ever done. In asian culture, the focus of horror films are mainly spiritual. I agree because there are a lot of supernatural things in the Philippines also, where I came from. Anyway, this video was really fun creating because it's a mini production. Even though it's a small production, it was really challenging to create and a lot of work.

The house was carved from a box that I had. I tried getting details from the actual movie if not exact. I painted it white from our already existing paint and I covered the windows with this plastic sheet I cut off from a packaging of underwear. :P Haha! You heard right. But overall, looks like the miniature house went well. Since I didn't have professional lighting at that time, I just relied on our lamp, umbrella, and tin foil that I had in the kitchen. The shoji screen was moved several times around the house since that's all I had. You will find this in the hallway, the outside, and my bedroom.

I tried to make the set as interesting as possible and to make it look like I'm actually in Japan. hehe.. The only items I had were the standing and hanging shoji lamp, the display of the Japanese artwork on the wall of a woman, bamboos, and the divider. Here are some photos I took of my little set.

Here's a photo of me smiling on the set as I prepare to film.

Haha! My story for the make-up of De-Grudge. Make-up was from a local Party store called Alin Party. It's just basic white halloween make-up you can find at a local party or halloween store. The dark circles under my eyes was just charcoal from a local art store. Yes, I didn't have much of the big makeup then. You gotta improvise with what you have right? And hey, they work! The wig, I purchased from a local swap meet and you guys probably know that I used this wig several times in other videos.

Here's my behind the video of my Paro-Film called De-Grudge:

12.4.11 - Set Design & Extra Videos

Hello everyone!

From now on I may be placing short extra behind the videos here on my blog. Unlike the one on my ItsCreativeSoul channel on YouTube and the extra videos here that has nothing to do with the xCreativexSoulx videos, the forthcoming videos will just be a short, brief scan of behind the scenes. Thought It'd be nice just to put just an itty bitty extra on that. :) Also for me, set design would be interesting to share here for those who actually want to see how I put my set together for different videos. And it's also for plain fun! :D I was always fascinated by movie set designs so I thought It'd be great to share that too.

So I finally had the chance to film a little bit earlier. :) I had attached some photos from the set! hehe.. So I created my own little hospital here. Haha! Not very authentic but It'll probably do for what I'm trying to create. :P Just glad that I had the chance to film earlier today and blog about it now. It's about 11:43 p.m. and I may need to crash soon.. hehe But for those waiting, the upcoming video will be released soon. And then some.. ;) Anyway, be keeping you posted! Have an excellent week readers!!

10.13.11 - Phone Remedy

Ok guys, have you ever dropped your phone on an accident in water? It could be the sink, tub, and eek, toilet? Well, there is this saying that once you drop your phone in water, there is a chance you can actually save it and make it work! I'm not sure what percentage of the time you can actually save the soaked device but I had read a remedy about this and was confirmed by a few Facebook friends that you can make it happen. Here's a little video I created to see what I did. If I wasn't clumsy enough then I wouldn't be able to make this video. Haha.. Ok, that was dumb! But hope you find this useful.

Organize from Kits Gallegos on Vimeo.

Hello everyone. I know things can get so hectic. But let's not forget to give time for ourselves and organize. Organizing your things will make life a lot easier. That and we'll be able to find things faster especially when we're in a rush. :) Ok, I know I'm adding all these extra things for my blog. But I think it's nice to push and inspire people a bit this way, I hope. Here are before and after pictures I took of my closet.

07.2.11 - Behind The Scenes of IMATS Vlog

Hey everyone! It's already getting busy here at my house since it's the long weekend. I wanted to quickly upload some behind the scenes of an upcoming Vlog. I obviously couldn't film the rest today since it was hectic and there are people here and there. I will definitely continue to write more on this blog site since I have a new camera. So we'll keep this constant, I pray... hehe.. For now, here are some pictures I took from today's shoot. :)

So tomorrow, will definitely attempt to try finishing this one. Whew.. It takes so much time but I am trying to post more for you guys. For now, have a happy 4th of July weekend!!!

Heart,

Kits

06.25.11 - IMATS - Los Angeles

Hey everyone! If you guys would like to know, a lot of my characters wear MAC eye shadows especially for TFS (The Filipino Soap.) I wanted to share this randomly because today, I will be at IMATS (International Makeup Artist Tradeshow.) I'm really excited because, it isn't only about beauty make up but, also for special effects make up. I'm really excited! I'm sort of wondering if I will see Kandee Johnson there. She's one of the top make up gurus in YouTube. I'm sure Petrilude is going to be there since he mentioned this on his Vlog. He's another YouTuber that does make up. He only experimented and is now a professional. Anyway, I will try my best to take pictures if the event allows me. I will possibly share this as a vlog on my channel on xcreativexsoulx. For those who are reading this I hope you are well... And I am outta here!! IMATS, here I come!

04.30.11 - Behind The Video - Idea Green

Hi guys! Here's another Behind The Video from one of the classic CreativeSoul videos during the early days. Haha.. Here's a behind the scenes video of "Idea Green" when I used to do my videos in Sepia Tone. The concept of this video is to help someone receive some Ideas especially for the ones trying to come up with a new video. Hehe.. Of course, it's just one of those unusual uses for comedy. ;)

04.21.11 - On Set - New ParoFilm

Hey guys! It's really exciting being on the set and taking pics. I guess I was telling myself to be more active and post more extras and behind the scenes here. Some of you may already know the drill. Well, I'm still currently trying to finish the new Paro-Film that will be released sometime soon. I just had to re-think the scripts but will be rolling again soon. Here are some pictures I had taken. See the new lights? Haha! That was one of the exciting things that happened to me recently. Everything else is the same, as far as personal life goes. Here are some photos of the set:

I would add another photo but that may give away what movie I'm trying to parody. Haha.. Can you guys guess already what movie it is just by looking at the set? Ok, well that's it for now. Will be updating more soon with video. Have a great FRIDAY guys!! And the weekend is once again, almost here! :D
