A Public Service Announcement by Joey and Wow



Without a doubt, I seriously had a blast taking up sound design this term. It's such a shame we only get to take it once. Almost makes me consider failing it to take it again! (That's a joke mom and dad, if in all likelihood you EVER get to read this) Anyway, here's a little something from that sound design class. This is an advocacy campaign for honesty featuring me and one of my bestbuds Mr. Joey Sandejas.

Just to give you an understanding of the set-up of the PSA, picture this:

Imagine you went on a business trip to a very far away place. A place where you know your wife or your girlfriend would not know what you were up to... You're free! Or are you?

Planted in every conscientious guy is a meter. A meter as to how far you're willing to take your wife's nonattendance. Sure, you go around flirting with women, propping your feet on the table of your hotel room where you've ordered pay-per-view porn and being as sloppy as any guy could be. But actually CHEAT on her? Oh, no no no.. That's where most "good" guys' meters draw the line. But then what if Mr. Jack Daniel, Mr. Jim Beam, Mr. Johnnie Walker and Mr. Jose Cuervo decide to smash the meter for you?

So now what? So now the deed is finally done and your meter is ringing its alarm. When do you tell your significant other what you did? Now? When you get back? and HOW do you tell her? Here's one way NOT to do it.

Here's the transcript of the PSA:

"Seminar sa Bohol"
By Joel Sandejas and Wowie Go

(BGM:) Soft piano music*

(VO1:)(Very Guilt-ridden, Emotional voice) Honey, There's something I need to tell you. Kasi nung seminar sa Bohol... I met this girl... Tapos nag inuman kami nang mga officemates ko that night... One thing led to another... Tapos... Tapos YUN... Please Forgive me... Ikaw pa rin ang love ko...

(BGM:) Soft piano music fades abruptly*

(VO1:) Tell me when you get this message, ha?

(SFX:) Answering Machine Beep*

(VO2:) It pays to be honest. A public service announcement by Joey and Wow.
