LAUNCHING SOON!
​
In filmmaking, patina refers to the visual texture or surface aging that helps create an authentic sense of time, place, and atmosphere. It’s the deliberate addition of wear, decay, or historical residue to sets, props, costumes, and environments to make them feel lived-in, aged, or rooted in a particular era. Whether it’s the rust on a spaceship, the faded wallpaper in an old house, or the scuffed leather of a character’s jacket, patina tells a story without words.
​
Filmmakers use patina to avoid overly sterile or artificial visuals, giving depth and realism to the film’s world. It plays a crucial role in production design and cinematography, enhancing mood and character development. The presence of patina often evokes nostalgia, mystery, or a sense of passage through time—essential for genres like dystopian sci-fi, period dramas, or noir.
What is Baybayin?
​
Baybayin is an ancient script used in the Philippines before and during the early period of Spanish colonization. It is part of the Brahmic family of scripts, which also includes writing systems used in India and Southeast Asia.
Here’s a breakdown:
​
Baybayin (pronounced bahy-BAH-yin) literally means "to spell" in Tagalog. It’s a syllabic script, meaning each character represents a syllable (usually a consonant + vowel sound).
For example:
-
ᜀ = "a"
-
ᜊ = "ba"
-
ᜃ = "ka"
Originally, each consonant character had an inherent vowel "a." Diacritical marks (called kudlit) were added above or below a character to change the vowel sound to "e/i" or "o/u."
