This is absolutely incredible. I joined the search for the next Colgate star. Ha ha! Thanks to all the support and text messages of encouragement from all of you guys. You’re a part of this “success” as I may consider.
It all rooted from the idea of Mr. Cliff Venzon. Actually, at first, I didn’t like to join because I wasn’t interested in joining tv contests until a momentous happening occurred. I felt that I needed something to pour out from my being. I felt that I needed to grab other opportunities just hanging around.
Oh well, here you will see some snapshots of our 3-day shooting. The video was shot in 6 different locations so as to comply with the tips of Lucky Mark (the guy you see in the current colgate tvc).
I edited the video using Adobe Premiere Pro CS3. Don’t expect to much from my creation. I don‘t usually like making complicated video effects. Rather, I want simplicity and elegance. I don’t also like to make any infringement.
The original video size was 2.3 Gigabytes because I accidentally saved it in .avi format. The second export hit a size of 30 Megabytes that was pretty good for me. But when I checked Colgate’s website, I found out that the maximum upload was only 10 Megabytes. So from 30 MB, it was compressed to 5.2 MB. Actually, I had difficulties in the upload sessions. Whenever the upload completes, an error message appears. I had to send e-mails to colgate just to know why there were errors.
Colgate called me twice to tell me that my video was successfully uploaded and it was finally viewable. They even asked me to create more videos. So there.
Please do VOTE for me. I have to beat that 100,000 votes of the first contestant. Those who have voted, thank you very much guys! May balato kayo pati mga nag-leave ng comments (if ever mananalo). Pero ok lang talaga kung hindi manalo. Hehe.

This is my Colgate experience. Thanks to Cliff!
