Filipina YouTube Star Makes Philippine Daily Inquirer
Congratulations to Filipina comedienne and YouTube Director “Happy Slip” Christine on her interview in the Philippine Daily Inquirer today. YouTube is huge in the Philippines, so she has a big potential audience in her homeland.
Why I picked the name “Happy Slip” is not only because it is a funny phrase from the past… but it reflects what I’d like people to feel when they watch these videos. As if they “slip into happiness” while watching — cheerful fun moments to just laugh and enjoy. My dream is that people would have a smile on their face while watching these little productions and that it would brighten up their day.
It’s nice to see that we are in an era that you don’t have to wait for the big studios to give you a chance to shine. You can create your own opportunity, your own vehicle and dictate what you want to do and how you want to do it!
That last point is especially relevant, considering how waiting for big Philippine studios can get you killed. As I’ve said before, this is a time of transition: dying media chronicling rising media. I just recommended Christine for inclusion in The Fizz, a DirecTV show about videobloggers.
Videoblogger Makes MSM Front Page
As Joey Alarilla points out, only newspapers that maximize the Internet will survive. Like The New York Times, The Modesto Bee could be one of them.
Here’s their video interview of popular videoblogger Cory “Mr. Safety” Williams. You gotta respect a newspaper with its own YouTube Director account.
Cory talks about his new show, but laments that his community doesn’t have much of a local film scene. Good thing Filipino YouTube Directors come from a country where YouTube rules. Read on for Cory’s reaction. Click here to continue reading “Videoblogger Makes MSM Front Page”…
