Possible Upcoming Costuming and Prop-making Forum

We received feedback that some people were disappointed that the Costuming and Prop-making forum never pushed through during the Convention. We apologize for that. The cancellation was due to unforeseen circumstances.

To make up for it, we were planning on pushing through with the SW Costuming and Prop-Making Forum this month. The tentative date is June 18th, and we would like to know how many people are interested to attend. Please post to signify your interest in attending.

We'll be waiting for everyone's response. Thanks.

greetings jedi_ginny, interested i am.. but you say its on june 18? hmm.. i wanted to, but that's the date of my graduation. i won't be able to attend. though i have a background in costume. because i learn it from my course.. i want to learn more.

oh! yeah, i remember, you're into production design, right?

anyhoo, hindi pa naman final ang June 18. looks like we have scheduling conflicts sa venue, but watch out, we'll announce the final details soon.

"Im really interested for i need this one because im thinking of joining the Rebel Legion.I just hope that the final date will fall on either a saturday or a sunday for i dont want to duel with our Op's Manager again.Thanx

H! im glad you still remember my course Jedi_Ginny. anyways, i hope its not yet final. i already told it to my mom and ask her permission about it. she told me as long as my schedule is okay. she will allow me and i hope by that time the weather will be fine. thanks!

It's looking a lot like it will push through on the 18th, since the group that was previously scheduled to use the venue cancelled na. We just need approval from the owner. Sayang naman, Moppet. What time is your graduation ba? Afternoon naman ang forum. And baka pwede ka pa makahabol, if ever.

I hope you can make it Moppet my friend.Still it's good to hear that it will be on a saturday.No conflicts whatsoever.

hmmm....saan po ang venue and what do participants have to bring? any fees that need to be paid? (im not complaining, i just wanna be ready. hehe)

hi my jedi friends, my graduation will be in the morning.. im not yet sure if i can make it. because the looks of it baka stressed na me i will wake up around 5 am kasi 8am ang graduation and it will end around 11am and of course you cant leave the venue immediately because you have some friends there, (picture taken!!) but i will try, pray that my mom will allow me to go to.. my graduation will be held in picc. i can bring the whole people of coruscant if i want to.. as long as you arrived early. so you can get a seat or else you will stand for hours!!
i will try, i promise..

The proposed venue is Brash Young Cinema in Legazpi Village, Makati. But again, we are still asking permission from the owner.

Unfortunately, attendees will have to pay a fee, kasi may rental fee din ang venue. Pero not too much naman. Sobra na ang 100 pesos.

Well that fee is justified i think! im quite excited.Hope you make it Moppet my friend!

*clutches 100 peso-bill and refuses to let it go baka magastos pa sa iba*

ok, so besides myself and the 100 pesos, i dont have to bring anything else? (hindi naman ako masyadong excited, medyo lang. wahahahahaha plastic ko bwiset!)

RAKENROL!

paper and pen, if you want to take notes. hehehe. pero we might make some of the notes available for download through the ML.

*at dahan-dahang tumulo ang luha sa mga mata ko* you guys are simply perfect.

GINNY: you and meann are two different individuals right? hehehe

wait.. hold it.. where is the venue? my mom thought sa glorietta lang po. i dont know that place. sorry!

Gretch: No, we're one and the same. Hahaha!

Moppet: Malapit lang din po sa Glorietta ang Brash. From Glorietta, you'll just walk to the end of the walkway, hanggang sa Esteban street ata yun sa Legazpi Village. You can find a map at the Via Astris website:

Again, hindi pa po final ang venue.

so we're super pushing through with it ha. (excited! hehe) what time? may final na?

Ginny: sabi ko nga isa lang kayo. hehehe. PS: (OT) do we have plans of making a fanfilm? matrix philippines will be marketing their fanfilm in the upcoming toy convention. =)

SWP has two fanfilms already. One is "Checkmate", a comedy directed by Gary Mayoralgo. The newest one, which was shown at the recently-held Mos Eisley Night in Hard Rock Cafe, is "Twilight Jedi", a serious one directed by yours truly. It will be downloadable soon, and will also be shown at the upcoming ToyCon

Gretch: maraming fanfilms in the pipeline ang mga resident filmmakers ng swp.
