We just got back today from a 5-day Bohol Beach Club aerial shoot which started Tuesday, April 13, 2010. Our official carrier for this project is Zest Air. Their handling of our baggage is satisfactory and they even gave us a few kilos bonus. They charge about P90 per kilo!
Day 1, Tuesday in Bohol Beach Club was all about planning of the shoot and ocular. It was raining the whole afternoon and we were not able to test our equipment.
Day 2, Wednesdauy started early and we were able to shoot the whole beach front by 9AM. Called off the shoot around 10:30AM when the wind at the Amihan side was getting gusty. Lunch was prepared for us by Executive Chef Victor. We were suppose to continue our shoot 4PM but again lighting was not that good in the afternoon.
Day 3, Thursday's shoot was a complete success! We were able to accomplish the whole shot list for BBC, both video and stills. The afternoon was spent doing an ocular and aerial survey of a 7 hectare property in Dawis (still in Panglao Island). This was a bit of challenge because it involved hiking up a hill. We were done shooting by 4PM.
Day 4, Friday morning was devoted to Blue Skies, another Tambuli Beach Resort in Panglao Island. Another successful shoot over water featuring the beachfront, restaurant, swimming pool and jacuzzi area of the resort. Sir Joey, the owner of Blue Skies, even treated us a very hearty lunch prepared by Bok and then brought us to a 90-hectare property overlooking the whole of Panglao Island which they plan to develop in the next 5 years! Around 2PM, we went back to the 7-hectare property again to do a quick aerial shoot of the front and rear overview of the 7 hectare property in Dawis.The rest of the afternoon was spent enjoying Bohol Beach Club to the max!
Day 5, we took the morning flight going back to Manila and got a good tip from the people at the check-in counter on how we can cut cost on the excess weight. ;)
In summary, we really enjoyed our 5-day stay in Bohol Beach Club. We all gained weight since we were pampered with buffet meals and special lunch treats prepared for us by their executive chef. The owners, the marketing manager and all their staff were so nice to us and very accommodating.
Will post pictures very very soon.
