Cycle 1 Finals -- Critiques

1. Ellis:

Magazine Cover - I like both of them but I prefer Warlocke's cover. It's a high fashion. A true transformation. As for Claydoh, he is a natural model, pang-commercial and editorial.

Runway - I prefer Claydoh's walk though medyo bitin. Medyo stiff si Warlocke.

Portfolio - At some point, tie para sa akin. I like Warlocke's movie genre and paparazzi. I love Claydoh's business attire and suicide pic.

My vote: Claydoh and Warlocke

Aba ang hirap mamili kaya sila pareho iboboto ko. :p

2. Evian_Yohann:

congratulations to all!

warlocke: runway walk - boring!!! you call that a runway walk? there's no personality...at all! you just walked, nothing more! you really looked pretty much stiffed and self-conscious. If that's your runway walk, you better get a runway101 class; glms mag - this is one hell of a photo, i admit. i can't think or say anything wrong with this photo because it looked perfect. It even for me, the best photo submitted as far as glms ang g4m-ntm is concerned. congratulations!!!

claydoh: runway walk - your walk is too much flamboyant for my taste and obviously, you exerted less effort. but then, you have the personality of a true model which is sooooo much important. you just have to learn to cater whats best for the majority of the people.; glms mag - all i can say is that...I AM FRUSTRATED!

portfolio:

audition: claydoh - naturally modelesque; warlocke - mediocre + unflattering
round 1: warlocke - simple and literal yet the message was there; claydoh - out of tune
round 2: claydoh - fashionable and fierce; warlocke - boring
round 3: claydoh - effective and powerful; warlocke - trying hard and questionable
round 4: warlocke - sizzling hot and outstanding; claydoh - beautiful and gorgeous
round 5: claydoh - mediocre but ok; warlocke - irrelevant and trashy
round 6: warlocke - amazing; claydoh - so-so
round 7: claydoh - fun and exciting; warlocke - doubtful

PORTFOLIO: CLAYDOH
RUNWAY WALK: UNDECIDED
GLMS COVER: WARLOCKE

WINNER: WARLOCKE

3. Juls2:

CATWALK

Claydoh showed us personality in his runway video and less catwalk. I think it will sell if what we are looking for is a commercial model, product endorser, or a tv personality. I expected to see his model potential or the least is his desire to win this for the second time. Sad to say it was lacking in this video.

Warlocke's catwalk is stiff but I can see his focus and desire to win this competition. The risk he took in the last stages of this competition is phenomenal and it paid off.

CATWALK winner = Warlocke

PHOTOCOVER

Claydoh this last picture is definitely your best in the competition. Your face is very relaxed and serene while your eyes is piercing.

Warlocke your photoshoot cover says it all " It's a wrap. Warlocke, the chameleon in his final act." The last thing I want to say is congratulations for a job well done.

PHOTOCOVER winner = Warlocke

My vote for G4m LMS Cycle 1 is WARLOCKE

COVER

warlocke -- YOu have greatly improved I must say. Your effort to come out with a credible high fashion cover pushed through and sadly, CLaydoh's effort isnt up to the standards that a finalist should have. AS always, you made use of your eyes which seems to be your strongest point. The stare is intense and seems to bore deep into someones soul. A Fitting finish indeed.

claydoh -- Your potential was great. In the rounds where you stood out and won, yuo were really great. The execution is great in this supposed cover shot, but i somehow feel there's somethign odd about the Photo especially if youre going up against Warlock's which came out more solid and the obvious effort that were put simply shone through. You had a great chance and somehow at the finishing line you were sputtering instead of shining.

VIDEOS

warlocke -- There is no question about it, Warlock have this in the bag. He obviously took time out to at least think of the concept and the good editing of the video made this commercial stronger.


claydoh -- I dont know if you were really serious to win this competition. You showed so much potential and the fact that you came this far is a testament to the superb shots you were able to make these past few rounds. Video is too short, too off. You could have made this better if the editing was good. Its a chance wasted as it was obvious that this was hastily done.

Cycle Winner : warlocke

5. rotogold:

claydoh -- You have been consistent all throughout the rounds. You have considerably placed well in most of the previous rounds and the efforts are evident. There is no doubt that you have made us notice you.

Pose: Despite your small frame, you are able to upstage or be on the center of things.

Projection : You are dramatic.

Overall Portfolio: I find the range just about right.

Ramp walk: The entry is weak and is very much contrived. There is not much artistry in all. You only spoke to us.

Photocover: You have displayed intensity in the photo. But there is something lacking. You lacked the depth. I cannot even read you at all. And it is not even realistic to hug a cover without even anything written on it. Or it would not have been a magazine at all. Or I have not been reading all magazines at all.

warlocke -- You have been voted as "eliminated" in previous rounds. You had been stale and you lacked the ferocity and determination that makes a model. But you have the knack for learning and listening. You took the comments seriously and made your way back to the top.

Pose : You are ably structured. You possess the physical strength.

Projection: You successfully convey the message across. You converse with your audience and in a muted effect; you are silently edging the notice from everybody else.

Overall Porfolio : You have run the whole gamut of emotions. You have worked your weaknesses into strength. And you have exuded the zealousness that will make a real model.

Ramp Walk: Congratulations. You have made me stared at you in this presentation. The clothing is simply superb. And the setting is apt. You have shown yourself to be truly the Last Model Standing.

Photocover: Not only the fierceness is shown, it is your eyes that made you win even this round. You are a model personified. I liked the sophistication. I liked the presentation. I liked the gestures. And most of all, I liked the total impact it made on me. Not only you came prepared even with the texts on the cover, it just shows that a magazine cover should have some texts on it. And I like what was written, the drama – The Chameleon in its Final Act. What a way to go! Congratulations.

2008 G4M LAST MODEL STANDING -- WARLOCKE -- on all 3 criteria and for submitting on time.

6. toyan: the hardest thing to do here is to choose between the 2 greatest models in the entire season... both of them have already proven themselves.. but.. there cud only be one winner... first of all congrats to u warlocke and claydoh. .. here's my judgment.. for the runway walk.. both of them did well.. but i think warlocke stood up... for the photocover for the fictional "G4M-LMS" Magazine its a tie they both did well.. and for the entire portfolio my vote goes to claydoh for being consistent ...

FOR the finals... for me ... the gold must go to claydoh.

7. yoh_asakura:

warlocke

runway walk - Your walk is dreadful, boring and a waste of time. please do get runway lessons immediately.

magazine cover - I am so much proud of you because of this photo. Your photo is overwhelming and really looked like a magazine cover! You made us proud. Goodluck!

portfolio - Not the strongest but some photos were extraordinary.

claydoh

runway walk - i see a model with a personality but buying it is not an option for me. Your walk is short and lacking.

magazine cover - i am indifferent, maybe because of the lack of editing factor. A part of me saying, I like it and also a part of me saying, otherwise.

portfolio - you have the better portfolio than warlocke, and sadly thats the only reason you can fight for the title.

runway walk - none
glms cover - warlocke
portfolio - claydoh

winner - warlocke

8. zavier.angel: Last Model Standing: warlocke

Warlocke wins hands down in several major aspects -- high-fashion beauty, poise and grace. His portfolio is piece by piece rendered with a fine artistic taste. His runway walk shows elegance par excellence.

Runner up: claydoh

Claydoh's photos are artistic enough to merit a second look. Endowed with flawless complexion and fine physical features, he has mastered the art of projection. However, he looks the same in all these photographs -- mild, gentle, sweet, and effemme. His runway walk was not even done on a runway but inside a room where an office table can be seen in the background.

9. ZephyrInTheS: This was a tough decision to make. claydoh's profile was more consistent than warlocke's throughout the competition, but in the final round warlocke definitely out-modelled claydoh. warlocke had a stronger cover photo, and though his runway walk wasn't too good, the video definitely proved that he wanted to win this more. claydoh's walk was perky, but it felt more like a go-see than an actual runway. overall, I think warlocke should win. He's grown the most, come the farthest, and put in the most effort. I'm happy to vote him as G4M's Last Model Standing, even though I didn't even vote for him to be in the Top 12. :-)
