"Okay! Take 1! Lights. Camera. Action!"

As I closed the clapperboard, the artists started after they heard the snap that the clapperboard make. We're here at the mini theater studio for the dry-run and testing of equipment. I was here on the 1st row of the seat and the others are doing their thing. As usual.

"Okay, that's good. But can you give me more emotion? 'Yong galit. Galit kasi 'yang nasa script, right? Tama ba?" I asked the 2 leading roles.

"Okay, direk. Kinabahan lang po ako." Shane said, the leading lady for this movie.

"It's okay. We could try again and again. Let's go? Start na ulit?" I looked at Shane.

"Okay, direk. Ikaw, Rave?" Shane asked Raven, our leading man for this movie.

"Ah, oo." Raven nods. 

"Okay. Take 2 tayo." I said while going back to my seat. I raised my hand together with the clapperboard. "Action!" I snapped the clapperboard.

Good thing, they did the scene well. Kahit ako, nadala ako. We proceed to the next scenes together with the other artists. Hindi ako masiyadong nahirapan for the old roles dahil mga beterano na ang nakuha naming mga artista para dito. Buti na lang talaga.

"Direk, update lang for the sound department." 

I turned my head when I heard Aj's voice. Hindi ako sanay na tinatawag niya 'kong direk dahil dati biro-biruan lang namin 'yan. Hanggang ngayon, eto na. Magkatrabaho pa kami.

"Oh, yeah? What is it? Wait, I'll let them have a break first." I glanced at him and smile. "Okay, let's have a break for 10 minutes. After, balik kayo dito ha?" I told the team. 

Kami na lang naiwan ni Aj dito sa luob ng theater, we will just discuss about the audio.

"Maganda na 'yong quality for me, pero kung gusto mo mismo marinig, you can go up stairs. We recorded it naman." He said while standing in front of me. 

I believed in him naman.

"Alright. Tara?" I stood up.

I followed his way hanggang sa makarating kami duon sa room ng sound department. "Sila Sean, nagbreak muna." He said while sitting down on the swivel chair.

I saw a super big mixer, ang daming buttons. Hindi ko maintindihan kung paano nila pinag-aralan 'yan nung college at paano rin nila naiintindihan. Onti lang kaalaman ko pa dito sa audio e.

"Baka gusto mo umupo?" He looked at me after he wore the headset. 

"Oh, sorry." I chuckled and sit on the swivel chair beside him. 

Nakakaaliw dahil may glass lang 'tong room na 'to at nakikita na nila 'yong pangyayari sa baba. Ang angas lang.
