Week 6: An Extraordinary Encounter

For our final project in our Marketing subject, we were asked to interview a multimedia based company.

First, it was hard to make appointments with companies. After, so many sent email messages, finally, one answered us. We were so excited to come to their office and ask our questions.

Cutting Edge Productions, Inc. is the company we interviewed. They specialize in sound editing and design, 2D and 3D animation and visual effects. They are the ones who made introductions of certain channels and teleseryes. They also edit and create sounds for TV shows. They are the ones who produced “Dayo: Sa Mundo ng Elementalia”, which is a 2008 Metro Manila Film Festival Entry that won numerous awards. They are the home of remarkable talent and skills of multimedia.

Miss Tenn Trozado-Manabat, an animation producer led us to one of the rooms to set up for the interview with Mr. Robert Quilao, the Chief Creative Director. The office was fancy and cool. It releases a very multimedia-ish aura.

Soon, Mr. Robert came to answer our questions. I learned a lot from him. He talked about so much about the multimedia industry. He shared how they compete with others and what are their future plans. He told us how they started in a house and how they grew as one of the most trusted by different clients. Ms. Tenn also gave us a tour around their office. She showed us their sound recording and editing rooms and animation studios. Some staff there ( It’s so disappointing I forgot their names) showed us how they work. They gave demos that really made us amazed.

It is really hard to leave when it is time to go and edit the interview. It is like your vacation in the most wonderful place in the world is over. But as we went home, we carried new knowledge and a never-ending smile that will truly make us more determined to study hard and in the future, work in the multimedia industry. As Mr. Robert said, “Dream. Dream Big. Libre naman yun eh”, I will certainly dream and work hard to be like the amazing people in Cutting Edge Productions.
