Attention at Maximum!

I can still remember last year's competition the Fantazzztic Film Awards and now we here comes another one. This year IAH organized another competition and is called the Fantazzztic Ad Awards. Before anything else lets define advertising shall we?

Based on wikipedia they define "Advertising is a form of communication that typically attempts to persuade potential customers to purchase and to consume more of a particular brand of product or service"

Well unlike last year Fantazzztic Film Awards is more of artistry in short film making and this season the competition focuses on Advertisment which is more challenging because now a days media ads is one of the power form of advertisment. Media advertisment requires powerful and precise information about a product and it all depends to execution.

(Memorable screenshot over site when we release the first FFA entry that has voice over and won that scene and heard week in the history for sGE)

Most of my friends in Granado Espada is now asking if Team LeBlanc will go for it. For now its a hanging question for our team. I know there are more advesary in this competition but just in case, we are up for the challenge and we will compete for artistry in higher level. Til again, I'll keep you posted pioneers!

Post E-Games Domination~Dominated!

The E-Games domination event was a complete success though there are slight problem during the opening because players pour down at SMX venue.

Around 11:00 the convention opens and as usual I have to move at the Granado Espada lair. And there I see familiar faces and specially some of my faction mates who I've met for the first time.

There are numerous activities that you can found inside convention, particularly from the booths of different games managed by E-Games; Cabal Online, Supreme Destiny, Dance Battle Audition, O2Jam, and RAN Online.

(War of the Faction Banners!)

This event won't be successful if the factions of different servers lead by Filipino players did not appear. Oh yes and we are talking about Filipino factions here! Factions like; CARNAGE Faction, Vradical Faction, Outcasts Faction, Templars Faction, Takhisis Faction, PH Care Faction, †Pinoy†AllStars† Faction, Aggrressor faction, RunAway Faction, Hellraiders Faction, Elite Faction, Revolution Faction, WarGodz Faction, and Adeptas Fraternas Faction. And am proud to say they're faction leaders are all Filipinos.

(DeSanngria as Idge, Whiteships as Feng Ling, Stormseeker as Bernelli)

Another thing that might spice up the ambiance is having Cosplayers around. And we are talking celebrities around here so let your eyes feast on them!

(Pasta Team's Mortreux, Weisswritter, and Fetuccini bagged $600))

(Le Blanc Team's Fiksdotter, iCeZ, and Reclusion bagged $900)

(Bloggers Team's Behringer, Ninemoons, Reclusion with the casts bagged $1200)

One of the highlights of the event was giving appreciation to the fellow Granado Espada players who contribute to the great community. Want more information about the other winners? Visit Ninemoon's entry for more picture and details of other community heroes!

After winning the Fantazztic Film Awards, RCM Hrin granted us the opportunity to pamper ourselves in the official Granado Espada forums by having our own forum title to honor our accomplishment.

And because I am the script writer, I take advantage of labeling myself as the "Undisputed Movie Writer".

Thanks again miss Hrin for this opportunity that you granted to us participants.

FFA: Complete pawnage!

After many weeks of endurance against unwanted comments and in our side being silent against the aggressors now we are far and beyond them. And yes we earn the right to say ~ it is hard to be humble if you are far great than others.

The good thing is all of the winners are Filipinos. So I present you the winning teams of FFA 2007!

Intel Week: Hardships payed off

After watching the film Jumpers, I head back home and still anxious about the result of FFA's Intel "Scene and Heard" Week. Though I was deeply frustrated, the sinking feeling about this week's competition suffices.

Post Philippine On-line Game Summit (POGS)

The Philippine On-line Game Summit was held at Trinoma Mall located at North Edsa. Basically it was a huge display of different on-line game companies and at the same time introducing lots of their on-line game titles. Well Granado Espada won't be left behind.

Around 00:25 I've made it to Trinoma and guess what the Reclusion brothers was there waiting for me at the train station. Then we head on to the registration area and bought some GAME magazine to serve as our entrance.

We walked inside the activity center and looked for the Granado Espada booth. And there I saw familiar faces like Ninemoons, DeSanggria, and of course CM Veya with the IP E-Games gang. We registered for the PVP tournament and then we loiter around the venue. All I can say that it was really great having lots of on-line games around you.

I tried visiting my account and feed my Catherine the summoner for some experience. Fortunately she gained a level after half an hour.

That's not all; our Fantazzztic Film Awards entry was shown at the big screen in front of many players and visitors. We were proud because it shows other things you can do with Granado Espada aside from playing it as a game.

The crowd goes wild as the showdown of Cosplayers takes on stage. Not to mention some good Cosplayers specially the female contestants.

Around 16:15 the PVP tournament started, Mena and I were the first one called and oh yeah Adeptas Fraternas Team of Caravaggio pawned us. At least we have the opportunity to have a duel with them.

The P.O.G.S. was indeed successful and all. So the bloggers have a little tea party, some chats, and move back to our humble abode. Thank you to all Granado Espada players who supported the event along with other on-line gamers.

Seagate Week: Looks like we made it!

It was around 00:20 when an official announcement of the Seagate "Scene and Heard" week winner has been declared. Reclusion and his brother Behringer was talking with me over the phone when they saw the announcement that was posted in the Granado Espada main site.

I rush towards my desktop computer and there I saw it with my own eyes, we vouched the 1st place. And this means each of us earned a 120GB external hard drive with metallic cover and Granado Espada skin on it.

The runner-up spot was from Zaleski team which gives another promising concept for this week's entry.

And it doesn't stop there, one of the entries from our friend Ninemoons was picked as the Dark Horse of the week. Amazing because Ninemoons and her other teammates Reclusion and Behringer got Bracelet of Three Kings along with G-Points on it.

To all the negative critics, comments, and along with the positive ones we are thankful for all of this. We promise you guys that one of these week's competition you will see another promising entry from us and to all the participants of Fantazzztic Film Awards, congratulations for a great job in this week's competition.

Fantazzztic Film Awards 2007: Zeee revelation.

The Fantazzztic Film Awards is one of the off-line events for Granado Espada community wherein contestants can create a remake through recording online scenes. This involves story outlines or even making a music video out of it using artistry. For the meantime rules are set that the jurors will only watch 10 minutes of the screen time and it's prohibited to use profanity in scripts because the competition promotes creativity and advertisement persae. There may be lots of prizes in store but the price at stake for the champion is $1,200 cold cash/check as per sponsored by IAHgames.

And because I am also included in this tourney, I teamed up with Reclusion and IceZ for Carracci. Unfortunately I can't give you out the details of our story thus this screen shots are from behind the scenes.

 

By this week the teaser might be finished along with my full written script to Reclusion because he is now responsible of the cinematography and directing. All-in-all we are ready to test the course. It's for fun and again for the love of the game.
