Pinoy version of 'Wildest Dreams' music video gets original director's attention

A group of Pinoys made a "Filipino, low-budget" version of Taylor Swift's "Wildest Dreams" music video, and they definitely deserve an A for effort.

These Grade 12 students from Don Honorio Ventura State University in Pampanga were tasked to recreate a music video for school, and being self-confessed Swifties, they chose one of their favorite music videos of their idol.

The video, which features horses and carabaos instead of wild animals in Africa, drew praise and amusement from netizens after it was shared on Twitter.

In fact, even Joseph Kahn, who directed the original music video, noticed the video.

"Filipino Wildest Dreams just ended me," he tweeted.

Jerome Cortez, co-director of the project, told GMA News Online that it took them four days to film the video. He and his fellow Swiftie Alanis Renei Berja, along with the rest of their team, shot it in several locations in Pampanga.

"We're very happy that the actual director noticed it," he said. "We are really trying in Tumblr and hoping Taylor will see it."
