RESULTS
YOU JUST HAVE TO MAKE DO ON WHAT YOU HAVE:
Ex #1.)VEHICLES THAT WERE USED WERE OLD SCHOOL AND ARE NOT ATUNED TO THE CURRENT TIME.
Ex #2.)Jungle ang setting, however no information was given to us on what mission ang gagawin or whatever we have to do. You will just be called 5 min ahead to set up, then that’s it. kung anung dala nyo pag nag –take yun na yun. Kahit iba na scene we use the gear that we are already wearing. kaya minsan our uniforms are not proper for the mission.
No time to change because the production is under time pressure. Kasi papalabas na the next day or even at times that same day.
THE WARDROBE EXPERT HAS NO KNOWLEDGE WHAT SO EVER ON ANY UNIFORMS:
Ex.) Call time naming is 9am. Ang sundo ng abs 9am dumating so late kmi sa set. Pagdating sa location nangungulit ana ang production that we dress up ASAP. We asked the set wardrobe expert on what scene and what uniform are we going to wear ang sagot...ganun oh Philippine army old school bdu. The wardrobe department is not equipped with the information on the different BDUs for different scenarios. For them basta military BDU ok nay un .kaya kami as any soldier would do we will bring all the things that we can bring. Mas ok na prepared than not for a mission. However we can only bring so much so there are times na we will have to do with the resources that are available. And bring out the best with what we have.
Try asking the wardrobe expert the difference between a Vietnam era bdu ang rig from a modern day... hindi po niya alam. kaya as long na nandun kami sa set we try to lend what we have to them and provide as much info as we can regarding these things. Pero minsan pag wala na kami kung ano anu na pinapasout sa mga actors matapos lang.
FIGHT SCENE DIRECTOR.
No offence sa kanila po but we know they have been in the industry for such a long time kaya nga "old school” tawag namin. They make use of mga signature moves that maybe you can recognize them sa mga pelikula ni fernando poe and lito lapid etc.
We try to input new techniques in gun battles/fight scenes sa set and new ways to die realistically. But it’s a struggle kasi that’s their job and sila masusunod. We try to suggest to correct these by discussing it with the director but it’s hard really to influence such adamant style…. proven nadaw sa public.
NO COORDINATION
There is no info on terrain that we will go through as a result, mali o kulang dala namin outfit. Or at times location will change while we are already on the set. So again we do our best with what we have and try to adapt. There times naman na papatawag kami agad and were advised to gear up. So we dress up sagad pang action. Tapos office work pala ang scene. However if we have the chance, we try to dress down asap. Just to cite an instance: When Piolo escaped from prison the scene was we were to investigate his cell. We were already in full battle gear but after we learned of the scenario we changed into polo shirt and tactical pants lang. But there are times na pag naabutan ka na ng tawag masermonan ka pa dahil ang tagal kasi lahat wala pang tulog at mainit na ulo.
Maganda talaga dapat alam namin what mission and what terrain ang ma-encounter namin. Yan ang palagi naming pinapatanong but sadly laging hindi masagot.
NO info
We understand our critics because they are not aware of rigors of being part of a big TV production outfit like Lobo. The demands of this job most of the time are frustrating and exhausting. But as professionals we deal with it professionally. It’s so easy to comment while sitting on our Lazy boys at home, we too are sometimes guilty of this. However experiencing it first- hand changed the way we looked at things. Well, this may be hard to understand coz only a few are given the PRIVELEGE and HONOR to have the experience that we had with Lobo. For those who have had the same experience I believe you know what we mean.
Airsofters, well some, are not aware that the target market of Lobo are not airsofters. So there are parts of the series na may really not appeal to you.
No script
Para po malaman nyo lang may times po na walang script we have to wait pa for the writer kasi ginagawa pa and we are at the location shoot already kaya again kung ano dala namin yun na...walang balikan sa bhay para kumuha ng ibang gamit.
In situations like this kasi, pinag aaralan pa ng nasa taas ang timpla ng viewers kung sino dapat mamatay ano dapat mangyari etc.
We have been trying to be as competent as we can be for this series. Tacops po ay made up of members from different teams. They are the best of what these the teams can provide. We have a collection of bdus of all sort na lalampas ng 200. Nag training po kami with different units from the AFP and PNP. We are not perfect but we are not also your ordinary “counter strike” people. We have tried to work hard for it and are still continuing to learn new skills and knowledge to equip ourselves.
There is always room for improvement and we appreciate any constructive comments that have been said and will be said. All have been taken note of. Tacops was not expecting to do this for the whole season. Our only mission was to rescue some vip na hostage that’s it. Pero nagustuhan din ata ng mga viewers kaya Tacops was part of the series till the end. For those who have been continually supporting us maraming maraming salamat po! Rest assured na we do our best to bring airsofters to higher grounds. Dun naman sa mga subjectively hindi nakaka – appreciate salamat din po! Kung hindi dahil sa panonood nyo ng Lobo e hindi tataas ang ratings nito which means no raket for us.
