Hi! My name is Jepster Togle, and let’s make your videos look awesome!

I’ve been making videos since I was in High School in 2000 with over 10 years of experience in producing and shooting videos for a diverse range of clientele.

My Film Making Journey

As a graduate of A.B. Multimedia Arts, people often ask me why I decided to do videos despite a vast skillset. Honestly, it was overwhelming to have all these knowledge in multimedia that it became tiresome to be a jack of all trades and a master of none. 

My career began as a Multimedia Specialist. I did animation, motion graphics, video editing and jumped from one company to the other for four years not being happy with what I’m doing.  Then I came to become a college instructor in an international school in Metro Manila. At first I taught the basics of Multimedia then I was tasked in teaching Film Appreciation. That’s where my fascination with making films returned. Along with that me along with students produced a short film and that’s where my thirst to create began. 

I ventured into making wedding videos and been doing it for 9 years. I have been using my knowledge in video editing and my past careers and always looked back to my mentor’s teachings. 

In making films, always ask why you’re choosing a certain shot. Not just how.

This is a principle I have lived by in my entire career in making videos and shooting my own short films.  Which leads to my next principle.

“Know the language, not just the machine.”

Entering into the video making business, having the latest gears, softwares, computers and cameras was essential. Admittedly, when I started my career, that’s all that I could think of.  Various thoughts launched in my head.

“I need to buy the latest camera to make my videos look more cinematic and professional!””I need to buy the latest camera gears so that I would look more professional on set!””I need to buy a cinema camera so I could be taken seriously!”

Dear aspiring film/video maker, I know these thoughts are running through your mind right now. It ran through mine constantly, but you know what happened?

I ended up loosing more money than earning money and still my videos looked the same. I bought a lot of expensive cameras and equipment that become obsolete really fast. 

Later on, I came to a realization that rocked my world. 

An investment in knowledge pays the best interest. – Benjamin Franklin

Despite investing in so much gears and equipment, I realized I didn’t have enough knowledge to grow further. I thought that having all these gears would make me a better film maker. The thing is I knew how to make good videos, I knew how to operate these cameras and these gears, but I lacked the language which is the “why” in the world of shooting videos. And one of those languages my friend, is…

CINEMATOGRAPHY

I’ve always thought that pointing your camera at what you want to shoot is all that’s needed to create a good video. But boy was I wrong! So, I finally learned one of the languages of Film making, Cinematography.  

I initially watched documentaries about Cinematographers listened to their thoughts and I fell in love with the language! I watched video tutorials on Youtube from famous Youtube channels that specialize in creating short films for their content but it was not enough. I also enrolled myself in Cinematography classes and got to learn from people in the industry both international and local.

I was absorbing so much information and I finally applied it to my works and not only did my professional work improve but my personal works like travel videos now have a more cinematic quality to them! I even stopped relying on my expensive equipment and focused more on my “why” and no longer on my gears.  

The Basics of Cinematography

• angle-rightCompositionLike everything in life, your shot/image needs balance! Good composition does this for you.
• angle-rightLightingFor most cinematographers, light is their paintbrush. This is very true. With artistic lighting, you’ll see a HUGE change in your works. 
• angle-rightProduction Design

You don’t need a Cinema Camera to Learn Cinematography!

Guess what? Majority of Cinematographers don’t even own a Cinema Camera! 

When I decided I wanted to delve more into bigger productions, I bought myself a $3,500.00 Cinema Camera. It was “cheap” for a cinema camera but I used up a large chunk of my earnings just to get it. Guess what, my works still stayed the same.

 And now that camera is just a huge block of paperweight in my room doing nothing but gathering dust. Because the technology it had became obsolete in a matter of months. Camera technology moves so fast that return of investments are nearly impossible to achieve. 

“Technology changes incredibly fast, but people change very slowly.” – Paul Adams

I was a massive gear head when I started out. I wanted the latest gear right here, right now. But Technology evolved so fast that I found myself spending more than what I was earning! I barely have any savings! But there was no improvement in my work. Thankfully, I’m no longer hyped with the latest gears, because now, I’m more interested in the latest knowledge and works of fellow cinematographers. 

Sana nalaman ko ito agad!

How I wished na may mentor ako noon na nagturo sa akin ng mga ito. At hindi ko pa kelangan gumasta ng sobrang laking halaga para lang gumanda ang gawa ko!

Yung tipong magpapakita talaga sa akin paano ko mapapaganda ang mga gawa ko ng hindi ako maglalabas ng ganung kalaking halaga. 

Kasama ba yan sa wish list mo?
