Odette: What do you think?

Odette has taken off the sage coloured fabric draped over the dress form covering the gown she is to wear as Reina de las Flores for the Sagala. The gown is mostly sewn from sheer material in the lightest shade of blush that it may seem almost white to the untrained eye. The gown's bodice, embellished with appliqued vines, beaded leaves, and embossed flowers gracefully curves at the corseted waist where layer upon layer of sheer tulle is attached forming the voluminous skirt.

Drake: I'm not really an expert but I think— I know— I know it's beautiful.

Drake says as he admires the gown on the dress form.

Odette: Hindi naman over-the-top, right?

She asks him while folding the sage green fabric that used to cover the gown.

Drake: I'm sure you will look great in it.

Drake smiles at her.

Drake: You wanna start?

Drake unzips the long black equipment bag on the floor. He takes out one of the universal light stands.

Odette: As in now?

Odette asks back, suddenly feeling unprepared.

Drake: Yes. Like natural lang.

He props up the universal light stand on the floor.

Drake: Parang nag-uusap lang tayo.

He adjusts its height.

Odette: Okay. You ask me a question ah, para we can start.

She agrees.

Drake unzips another equipment bag.

Drake: Let me just add an extra light source para everything looks better on video.

He takes out the LED ring light from the equipments bag.

Odette: Do I look okay? Do I need make-up pa ba?

She asks while Drake attaches the LED ring light onto the light stand.

Drake: A girl as pretty as you does not need make-up.

Odette blushes at the compliment.

Drake: Saan ko puwede i-plug 'to?

He asks while looking for a spare socket.

Odette: There's one there.

She points to the socket behind an earthenware jar that has been converted into a corner table using a glass top, with figurines displayed on it.

Drake: Got it.

Drake: Relax lang ha...

He reminds her.

Odette nods. She is standing with the dress form to her right.

Drake: Rolling in 3, 2, 1...

He starts filming.

Drake: So, can you tell us something about the dress you're going to wear?

Drake asks while looking at the preview screen.

Odette: Well, since it was kind of a last minute replacement, we had to be practical about the gown I was going to wear, so I thought of up-cycling the gown I wore for my debut.
