So the title says "There Are No Words For This" but weproduced an hour-long podcast. Weird, huh? :p Then again, we really weren't planning to, it just happened. ;) The title refers to the sad sad news that the local release date of the Twilight movie has been moved yet again.

Thank you to our guests in this episode: Rome, Echo, Coni, Jam, and Mariae. We had a lot of fun! Thanks, guys!

"Danag: The Fantaserye" will take a brief hiatus from this episode as we try to figure out how best to present the story... and you gotta believe it, there IS a story. There's even a script. @_@

But what the hey, on to the show!

As the title of this episode very clearly states, we sure as hell didn’t see this podcast coming! It just came up one crazy day during one of our administrator meetings, and… well, here we are.

This is our first crack at making and publishing a podcast, so please bear with us. Although we did our research, understandably, we hit a lot of bumps along the way.  And while we would have wanted the audio quality of the first episode to be flawless, we were still limited by our equipment, know-how, and an unfortunate recording mishap. Rest assured that Episode 2 (if you don’t get disillusioned enough by Episode 1 that you will still download Episode 2) will sound much better and will be better edited. We did learn a lot while working on Episode 1, and short of blogging about the merits of windscreens and microphones and good enunciation and other technical stuff, let’s just say that these lessons will certainly be applied to upcoming episodes.

Having said that, we still hope you enjoy the first episode of “Danag: The Filipino Twilight Saga Podcast”, and we hope you subscribe for the next episodes!  You can use the Feedburner link on the sidebar to subscribe.

Mabuhay ang Pinoy Twilighters!

Trailer Shot-by-Shot Notes:

0:19 – Edward in the car, after he and Bella accidentally touch

0:22 – “Are you afraid?” gets the ladies’ unanimous vote on one of the best Robert deliveries in the trailer. Oh, and yeah, this is the “delicious shot” of his golden eyes that we were talking about.

0:41 – “You brought a snack.” Cam rocks that vampire look.

0:41 – Is Robert about to vomit? Mabelle thinks so. Clair de Lune agrees. Minami doesn’t really think so, but she’s too biased in Robert’s favor. :p

0:56 - “I’ll do whatever it takes to make you safe again.”

• Link: "You better hold on tight, Spider Monkey"?!?!  Yeah, that was Rob's fault.
  
• Link: Real spider monkeys in action!  Maybe Rob was watching these...
  

Other Notes:

Oh, and before we forget...  here's our dream lead cast for Danag: The Fantaserye

Dingdong Dantes as Eduardo, the Haciendero with a supernatural secret

Marian Rivera as Bella (pronounced Bel-ya :p )

ERRATUM: The TV series with Maricel Soriano is actually entitled "Mary D' Potter" and not "Mary Potter". More info on Vic Sotto's series, "Daddy Di Do Du", here.
