Imagine hulking out right.this.second. — you feel a supernatural energy running down your biceps, to your forearms, to your hands — you wonder what’s the nearest thing you could unleash this awesome force unto — then you see the television...
That’s the sort of statement that Flippish was making during their launch party, which was held at Fiama last night. (The night that television died! Or when the tv’s death clock got a-ticking.)
Not that you’d reach for the family tv while your nanay is watching her soaps — so you could chuck the tv out the window —- thing is, (as mentioned in their radio guestings) tv ain’t dead yet, but it’s running on life support, and primetime isn’t primetime anymore, at least not in the sense where the nightly shows would be done with by 9, and the news would be over just before 11 in the evening, — AND — most especially when you’re competing with new media — where ANY time is primetime.
Chris Tan of Flippish makes an interesting point about the television’s death rattle — more and more people are tuning in to the internet machine upon reaching home, instead of the tube — and in one of those “if-you-build-it-they-will-come” sort-of-affairs, — he, along with the Video Producers (ViPs!) and the rest of Flippish have pioneered a network of original, top-notch, and exclusive content for the internet-machine junkies. These aren’t your camera phone videos — the content (shows!) on Flippish are done up like the shows you’d be seeing on tv — treated with first-rate writing/directing/editing and high-tech equipment.
The program, hosted by Roxy Barcelo (Xandy!) started off with the introduction of Flippish, and a peek of what’s in store. There was also the introduction of the ViPs — FunnySexy/Kring, Chrina, Roman, Dos and Jay — and aren’t they the luckiest people, really — getting to do what they love, and getting paid for it? Entertainment was provided by a band featured on the Flippish show LSS: Indios, and Biboy Garcia of Queso asking us to say “OH!” when he says “Flippish!” (Correct me on this one.)
If Flippish has been entertaining the rest of us for the past couple of months, there they go announcing a slew of new shows (Weekend Warriors, Brain Freeze, etc) to keep the net connection streaming (and the viewers hooked) — at.any.time.you(we).like.
Had a blast hanging out with blogger friends — (some of whom I just met there!) with The Bar providing the intoxication.
So, what’re you waiting for? Go, shoo! Check out Flippish! Tell your friends!
