Workshop 1 & HollywoodFX TV Test Shoot

Two of the important firsts for HollywoodFX happened last November 5, 2011 at the Capitol Grounds Kiosk thanks to the wonderful staff in the Provincial capitol. The employees in the capitol under Hon. Oscar Moreno thru the leadership of Mr. Memen Moreno erased the qualms that used to be created by the old typical government staff. Preparing for the venue proved to be less of a hassle when the Executive Director and Marketing Director presented the letter and intention. They needn't come back another day to be given the spot. With this accommodation, the group found a place to spend the first HollywoodFX workshop on "Makeup and Runway" both daily/basic and theatrical. The Theatrical aspect more importantly was tackled and taught because HollywoodFX wants to impress to the audience that it becomes different from other groups because it is theatrical. Some theatrical exercises applied included the "Tension" exercise, which is used pre-stage to fend tension and anxiety from actors. The Executive Director broke the group in by introducing the Dewey Color Psychological Test where the HollywoodFX family members got to know themselves and each other. The afternoon ended with a walk-off where the First 15 and the newbies showed their runway stuff for the "Carmine and Lyca" casting, judged by Photographer Jessie Villegas and Marketing D Jenefer Maagad.


"The HollywoodFX Family is growing bigger. There isn't a day that we don't open FB where there isn't anybody hopeful in their PMs to want to join us." This is the reason why the Executive Director has kept the roll open. "I came from down where people pushed me aside because I don't have what it takes so I understand where these kids are coming from. That's why it's hard to say no. But as the show goes on, rules must be followed and if they don't that's when we let those hopefuls go, it's a pretty much comprehensible system rather than having to say nothing at all or no in the first place."


By being bigger, HollywoodFX realized the dream of extending its realm by starting the online TV division, HollywoodFX TV. The test episode featuring the first workshop is hosted by Tricia "Summer" Ledesma, one of the newbie models. It was part of her test. True to its promise where models are seen as artists, HollywoodFX impressed to everyone that they all have the chance to host the online show. "Because a HollywoodFX model shouldn't just know how to shoot and strut, they should also know how to speak." Models are already lined up and listed for the coming episodes, especially on the series of Carmine and Lyca behind-the-scenes. 


The group is more than thankful that the "Carmine and Lyca" and the people involved both in production and cast have helped open doors to friends in the business. The photographer duo from Gridframe Ernest Castro and JM Tagarda dropped by the venue to discuss some business opportunities. Later Ms. Mari Malferarri Mabulay originator and stylist of Blush joined the meeting not only to discuss business with the HollywoodfFX-Gridframe partnership but also offered her artistic styling for the "Carmine and Lyca" Fashion Party. Photography genius Mr. Eugen Sia of Eugene Sia Photography is an artistic addition to HollywoodFX's lineup of photographers with Jessica Jane Tesoro-Villegas of Capturing Smiles Photography, Christian Erfe Gesta and Joseph Sia.
