Curse

University of the Philippine's Bahay ng Alumni was filled to the brim as over 1,500 tickets were sold in UP AME's biggest event ever. But, out of more than ten stage performances, the Guild Wars stage play emerged victorious. With a thunderous battle scene, an engrossing soundtrack and voice overs, inventive special effects, great costumes, and two fanciful dance numbers (one by the undead and one by the heroes), Guild Wars Skit took the prize despite other very impressive stage performances especially from several Naruto groups and X-1999.

I will try to post more pictures, especially of the battles, later on.

I gave the camera to my friend since we were performing the skit. It was very difficult for him to take pictures so the pictures aren't that great. He was struggling in the crowd that was pushing and shoving to get a good view of the action so a lot of the pictures came out of focus or too dark.

Here are some of the better ones I was able to fix up:

Lich Lord about to attack Ascalon City.

Heroes defending Ascalon from the Lich Lord's advance.

Heroes pouncing on the Lich Lord and his Necrid Minion.

Lich Lord and the Necrid pushing back the heroes.

This is such a dramatic picture taken during the event. The lighting is just perfect for the mood. Love this pic

Just had to share it

The lady in green is a mesmer right (just making sure). She looks so awsome, the way a mesmer should be ^-^

this was from Pocketmancer Exe's comic thread...one of the most treasured comments to the series

(comment from the comic where H Chan dies, and asks for a rezz from the rangers (one says his pet has died, and all his skills are disabled...dont remember the other one tho =/)

not....sure on the answer....? heh

Here are some more pictures (taken by other spectators). Asked their permission and gave them credit in the picture themselves:

I love the burst of light from the Holy Strike and how the axe glows when the warrior attacks with Evicerate. You can find some more really good pictures here: http://photobucket.com/albums/v281/k...e%20ulit/?sc=6

Originally, there was supposed to be a Ranger but he was stuck buying his armor from Droknars so we had to hit Enter Mission before he could join up.

The truth is, his costume wasn't done on time. In the next stage play, if ever, the Ranger and Female Necromancer might be included as well.

I love the expression of one of the girls (stage people) near the base of the stage in the last picture. She was really into the action onstage. There were several videos taken of the event, but the audio was deafened by the crowd's reaction. They were screaming and cheering and laughing the whole time. They were really a wonderful audience.

Will probably dub over the video with the audio soundtrack that was used for the play. Unfortunately, a lot of people stood up in the middle of the performance to get a closer view of the action. Am hoping to receive a mostly unobscured video if possible.

I've never been more proud [or shamed? lol] to be Filipino!!!

Nice stuff. Trekkies, eat your heart out.

There are some more pictures here:

Actually, there are a ton of pictures available, but I try to ask their permission before posting them in other forums as well as give them credit.

Am also waiting on the video. I heard the audio is crappy because of all the yelling and screaming in the venue, but, as long as the video is clear, I can always dub in the actual soundtrack complete with voices and special effects.
