Making your own Youtube videos.

We all love to watch funny videos only simply because it's funny, easy to relate and quick to watch. This is how our life style has become. Anything too long and slow is just not our style anymore. (That's what she says)

Erm.. okay.

Years after Ryan Higa we finally have some nice Youtube channels in Singapore like Wahbanana (which was better when it 1st started) TreePotatoes and NOC. That being said I am still looking for a break through in the industry once again. The whole "type of girl friends", "Type of mahjong players" or whatever type of father/mother and the whole click bait with boobs things is really getting into me.

So to ride along with the wave and also a product of satire, along with 1stjournal and Feliza, I've decided to produce our own home video.



To be honest I know this is not the best idea because it's not even something people can relate but it's just something that I had in mind to disturb the trophy and I am very glad that these guys are willing to jump in and have fun with me.

It was done within a super short notice of less than 24 hours and Max from 1stjournal did a pretty good job in the editing it must say. Less the part that he was using comic sans and forgotten to bring mic up thus the volume of our speech is a little soft.

We spent less than 2 hours shooting the scenes and direction, lines, props and all were very quickly done up. So can I say I am a director, producer and actor? #Shameless

I guess if you guys wish to be in such videos and have some interesting ideas, do send them in and let's have some fun together. We might not be famous YouTubers or a million dollar production house but the experience of doing such videos is actually pretty fun!

Send in your request at Smithleong@Gmail.com ! No, I am not kidding. Let's take this as a community project! You can be the director, producer and actor too! With social media platforms like this, anyone can be everything they want! You can have your own youtube channel and be a Youtube Star TOO! (Only selected candidates will be contacted. For anybody based in SG only)

Mr.Smith, ten type of things I could be! - YouTuber lah! Send in TODAY!

#MusicMonday - PENTATONIX

Been awhile since I did a #MusicMonday post! I've always wanted to share with you guys about this band! They are really good and for those of you who watches "The Singoff" previously would probably remember them!

This is the Pentatonix, not power ranger.

From Wikipedia:

Pentatonix is an American a cappella group of five vocalists, Scott Hoying, Kirstie Maldonado, Mitch Grassi, Avi Kaplan and Kevin Olusola, originating from Arlington, Texas. The group won the third season of The Sing-Off on NBC, singing an a cappella arrangement of "Eye of the Tiger", originally performed by the band Survivor, as their victory song. Pentatonix won $200,000 and a recording contract with Sony.^[3][4] Their 2012 debut EP, PTX Vol. 1, charted at #14 on the Billboard 200, and their 2013 release, PTX Vol. 2, debuted #10 on the Billboard 200. Pentatonix is currently preparing for their worldwide tour in 2014.^[5]

So they are pretty damn awesome! And they have something for X'mas!



If you really go and watch their videos, you can tell that they have come a long way! Their not so well made and raw videos has now become very well coordinated and very nicely finished videos!


A cover of one of my favourite songs. That's how it was, 5 person sitting there and just doing their thing. True talent.


This mashup has to be one of my favourite work of theirs. so pretty darn cool!

I really like these guys. I wish I could be part of a group like this. I don't think I can really sing so maybe I will just go "dong dong dong" or "ti ti ti ti" at the background.

Mr.Smith, anybody wanna form a cappella group with me?
