When Boredom STRIKES

It was a pretty hot Monday morning and like a typical day, I had nothing to do. I remembered my sister buying a couple of packs of gummi bears from the last weekends grocery so I searched for it. Luckily there's still a pack left, so I asked my sister if she's gonna eat it, but just before saying something, I quickly told her that Ima use it for a couple of minutes. Bam! Time to set up before she realize something awkward.

Took my dads cam, a couple of used calendars and my imagination. I pulled out the idea from National Geographics commercial, a video focusing on gummi bears inner distinct features (as if it has), then slowly zooming out to portray the candy and then the green gummi bear suddenly falling down. Now why cant i make it for real, but in a still frame, I mean picture. Poof!

Had fun making this shoot, but got really awkward when my aunt and sister stared at me at the dining table with their blank eyes saying "What the...". Well its all good though. The only draw back from working with this "BEARS" are their stickiness, I never thought they'd be sticky as hell until I pulled them to rearrange blockings. They left marks on the calendars.

BTW, I ate those pretty uncooperative ones. Haha.. nah, I gave it back to my sister but handing it over to me again telling me "Nahawakan mo na yan eh.. penge nalang isa".
