Chapter 153 The Secrets that We Keep

• Ace arrived soon after and the meeting commenced. Ace quickly recapped the progress of the project before outlining his expected next steps. Work was assigned logically and quickly to the team members. The next part of the competition was the real deal where we would be presenting the commercial itself to the committee members. That meant that we had to finalize the detailed version of the story board and then work on planning the production of the commercial. Then the production team can take over in the filming and editing of the commercial. After multiple rounds of editing and reviews, we would get our commercial at along last.
• It was always interesting and exciting to see what I had dreamt of in my storyboard brought to life on screen as a complete commercial. From all the commercials, only three will be selected for public release. Then the winner will be decided based on a combination of three factors: the donation amount, the committee’s judgement, and the public’s opinion via poll.
• All those three elements were hard for us to influence. It was a fair game where the public gets to decide through votes and donations which commercial appealed the most to them. Since we were promoting the end of the dog meat trade and aiming to secure donations to support the cause, it was no surprise that the donation figures would play a significant role in determining the winner.
