A Tool for Easier Film Production Management


Many moviegoers do not understand how movies are made. Some of them only think of what they saw during the two hours or more of the show. What they do not understand is the lot of process that movies go through before they are delivered to the theatres and movie houses. What is shown in movie houses is just a very small portion of movie making, which can last for many months.

Excellent movies are not made in a fortnight. It took months of conceptualization, planning and the actual filming. Then comes the tedious part of post-production, which is much longer than the actual shooting of the film. Making movies is complicated that’s why many movie producers turn to film production app to ease their worries.

Film production app is a tool being used for the management of film production. There are many kinds of film production apps but the most modern or most high-tech are the cloud based film production management tools or apps. Cloud-based film production app helps film producers in hiring movie crews, cast talents and search for suitable shoot locations. It also helps scheduling film production and organizing the different teams working on the film. In short, cloud-based film production app is a multi-purpose tool that makes the life of movie producer easier.

Visit this film making blog to know more about the cloud-based film production app. All kinds of movie producers will get a lot of information from that blog.

If you are an independent film producer or a producer from a multi-million dollar studio, I suggest that you check the cloud-based film production app. Maybe this tool is what you need to improve your movie making process.

JRS Express Rates for Letters

Our office sends a lot of letters not only within Metro Manila but all throughout the Philippines. Our letters even reaches the remote areas in Luzon and Mindanao. The letters that we send is of great importance both to our office and our clients. That is why the letters that our office sends must reach our clients in the fastest time possible.

Our office patronizes LBC for sending its letters and package. One time, an officemate decided to send one of our letters through the JRS Express. My officemate was surprised when he discovered that JRS Express rates are much cheaper than the rates of LBC for delivery of letters. We are also surprised when our client sent a message the next day telling us that he already received the letter and documents that he required.

The relatively cheap JRS Express rates and the quick delivery of our letter made us the new loyal customer of JRS Express.

The Hunt for Croc Bigger than Lolong is On


The crowning of Lolong as the Guinness Book of World Records’ largest crocodile in captivity made the people of the town of Bunawan more motivated to capture a much larger crocodile. 

The officials of Barangay Nueva Era, which is led by Chairman Teofanies Adlanes, passed a barangay resolution on December 2011 and another resolution last April 16, 2012 to fast track the hunt for crocodiles that are larger than Lolong.

Large Buwaya Stalking a Carabao

The barangay resolutions were made after residents reported seeing a large crocodile in the vicinity. Residents reported that a large crocodile chased a carabao at Magsagangsang Creek, which is the place where Lolong was caught. Magsagangsang Creek is within the Agusan Marsh.

Residents fear for their lives. The attack to a carabao prompted them to send letters to their barangay and municipal officials.

The Parks and Wildlife Bureau of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR-PAWB) said that their survey teams did not saw any crocodiles larger than Lolong within the Agusan Marsh. The DENR officials warned the Bunawan residents from capturing crocodiles inside the Marsh because it is against the law.

Another Guinness Record

If the claims of Bunawan residents are true, then there is a possibility that Lolong will be dethroned. All they need to do is to capture the large crocodile and present it to the officials of Guinness. Bunawan will be popular again. The downside is that capturing crocodiles of the Agusan Marsh will affect the delicate biodiversity of the marsh.
