GANGNAM STYLE - our tribute to the Philippines!

Not ones to rest on our laurels - this is the video tribute that we put together for the district conference.  I have to be honest and say that when I mooted the idea of a viral style video we were all walking around the IT hub in QC and I really didn't think that the rest of the team would go for it - but how wrong could I be.  Several weeks later and many video shoots at any location that lent the video some style and panache...  I can't overstate how much we were walking around and looking at every location as a possible'shoot' which also included underwater and in some pretty bizarre shoots in public places with lots of onlookers watching us as if we had gone completely mad.  Creatively put together in a late night cutting room and then finally edited and polished (including flourishes that Amy regards as not needed added fizz) on the flight on the way home.  It took me most of Manila to Dubai to get it running right and I nearly went mad working on the 3 hours sleep in the previous 48 hrs that I had had, but....  It got done and I am very proud of it and of the team that made it happen.

To everyone in the Philippines - A MASSIVE THANK YOU for making this a reality - it is our little tribute to you all and hopefully carries the sense of energy, enthusiasm and passion that we brought over for the 4 weeks.

Good times - keep dancing!
