Truly crazy how the season goes by quick. I usually like to re-design my YouTube page for each season so I came up with the red logo for spring. Since I haven't put up many videos for this season yet, I just left the "New Season" word in the center of the logo.

Anyway, a lot of people have inquired on me creating a playlist for the videos. Just wanted to let everyone know that I had organized all the videos in a playlist format. This way you can easily navigate and find the connection to some of the series. For instance, once you finish part I of the video, where is part II? hehe. The good thing about this is once you click on the playlist the next episode will automatically go on to the next. I know this is like a 1st grader type of tutorial. But this is generally for all those that are still confused since YT always changes their layout and things. Grrrrrrrrrr...

Just go to www.youtube.com/xcreativexsoulx. And once you're on the page, click on the playlist link, shown below:

Once you click on playlists, the series of vids will show below:

You can also click on the right side of the page and it'll show you a series of playlists.

So there we have it! TADA! :D hehe..

Questionnable Characters this season:

As I went on with the season, I had introduce varieties of characters who may have sent out positive messages to everybody. For Dino, he was a comical, depressive, character who in the end started becoming happy by a massive support of online friends. Shastah has sent out positive messages to everyone by singing about "Love" (Lohv) for the video. Dude, is just quite a character with his animated self brings happiness to people just because he is naturally hyper. Negativity isn't necessarily a positive character but he is a reminder of why people should be more happy and stay on the plus side of life.

If these guys are to return this season, I may have to begin brainstorming and writing the stories for these characters. I may put up a temporary poll so you guys can vote if they should come back this season.

The Sleepover series has been in hiatus as well. I've been trying to bring back the girls for another installment of Sleepover but these girls are super busy with school, graduating, entering college.. etc.. I will definitely get them all back once there's an open schedule that everyone can agree on. The TFS Series (The Filipino Soap) will continue on as I keep writing the ideas. I guess that's all my rant for now. 'Til then.. :D

Hey guys!! Woo hoo! I finally got my new Macbook Pro! :) I know for sure graphic designers need these. I think the timing was just perfect. Anyway, I am still trying to learn the tricks and the apps and all that good stuff. I hear it is very user friendly. The only thing I found out about this awesome device is that it doesn't play Sony videos unless converted to MP4 or Quicktime. Makes sense for Quicktime since it is an Apple product. So looks like it'll take a while for me to learn in converting my future vids to MP4 and such. I will still be editing on my PC. :P Sony Vegas usually doesn't have a MAC version but they have Final Cut Pro. Makes me wonder when I'll actually learn to use that program. I'm hoping fast and soon. ^_^ I'm just really excited on using it already.

At the moment also, I have been looking everywhere for visual effects. My best bet for now will be Adobe After Effects. I'm just thankful that Adobe products has a MAC version. Prior to that, I've been looking for vocational art schools that teaches visual effects. I believe most art institutions have online classes so I will research on more for that. My good friend recently gave me a graphics tablet for christmas. I barely started using it until last night. Takes some time in getting used to but I am already loving the outcome of it.

As for creating media (videos.) Looks like I'm trying to set myself for the right time in getting back into it again. I have a collab video in pending so I will force myself to finish that by tomorrow so it'll be out by Saturday. Whew!! Need so much to take care of. Anyway, I'm sure that goes for everybody. Everyone is busy... Alright readers, for those few, those are my current update. Be writing again soon. :)

Hi guys! Ok so I finally had the time to put up another Behind The Video. hehe.. This one is from my 1st Christmas video called, "It's Christmas." It's basically a parody of one of those infommercials trying to sell you a CD of some sort. All singing is exaggerated and of course, it's just for fun! :) I believe this video is over 2 years old. Wow! It has been that long really? Even things have changed for YouTube with it's screen format and great video quality.

It was really fun doing this video. I didn't really get to see the behind the scenes of this until now. I was cracking up on how goofy I was before the production began. Anyway, hope you guys enjoy this Behind The Video as much as I did for "It's Christmas."



Here is a graphic design of the CD Cover for this spoof made from Photoshop CS2. Haha! Just too goofy!

Hey guys! I was finally able to upload another Behind The Video. This is a video I did sometime last year. It's called "Jitteroo." The idea behind it came for my love of coffee. Haha! I thought of exaggerating it a little more by adding jitters to the effect of the coffee. Since that's what happens most case when you drink or drink too much coffee. Only a bit more exaggerated.

During that time, I was limited to ideas but the creative flow just started pushing in so I had ideas on people studying, working, working out and trying to keep themselves awake or hyped up.

The logo for Jitteroo was designed by me with Photoshop CS2. :D

Hey guys. Due to some personal work and development, I'm in Hiatus status. There has been so many things running in my mind. I'm also debating whether to create a new comedic media on YouTube or start Vlog #6 since the new season has caught up to me. I've been thinking about all of you and hopefully I'll be able to produce more videos for you guys real soon.

As many of you know, there are tragic events in the Philippines, American Samoa, and other parts of the world. I have been thinking deeply about those. What they can use of us now are prayers and support. There are also a variety of fundraisers all over to support our fellow people in the Philippines and other parts of the world. I'll be updating everyone more often and hopefully to have a serious Vlog soon. Until then... I miss you all!

Hello Guys!

Just wanted to share with you all that I will be a guest on LuvChat.com It's a site where Jim "Poorman" Trenton interviews YouTubers, sort of like a Jay Leno type of show. Come check it out. I will be a guest on Friday, September 11, 2009 between 8-9 p.m. During that time, anyone can call in and ask questions during the Live Show. Their # is: 1-888-9-LuvChat.

They have interviewed Shane Dawson, Venetian Princess, and others... This is really exciting for me guys. It's something different and I think It'll be an excellent experience. So if you have free time that night, go to www.luvchat.com and check out the interview. :D

Hi everyone! I just wanted to share to you all that my TFS videos were featured on Bakitwhy's Blog section on August 20, 2009. It's really flattering to know that my videos somehow reach out to others and make their day. A Bakitwhy contributer by the name of Jonathan Hernandez has written a blog about the videos:

"For those of you who have ever seen a Pilipino soap opera/teleserye, or have access to TFC, or have secretly been reformatting your schedule and life around whether or not Richard Gutierrez will forgive Angel Locsin for slapping him and his mother (sorry, i'm outdated I know...but I'm sure they still do stuff together, right??), then you'll find great satisfaction in knowing that there's a new Pilipino Soap out on the air - and it's on Youtube too!"

"I was recently surfing through YouTube as I usually do for no less than 10 hours a day and came across quite a find. A YouTube user by the name of Kits is a Pilipino-American vlogger/actor in the mold of HappySlip who loves to cater to his Pinoy audience (and non-Pinoy audience as well, because regardless of your ethnicity, his videos are just mad funny) through his unique and very professionally acted video skits. He recently began his own Pilipino drama, aptly titled "The Filipino Soap", in which he hilariously parodies and over-exagerrates the generic corny-ness and over-dramatic silliness that can be found in most every Pilipino drama. Just like HappySlip, he's a one man show (er, one woman for her) who plays a variety of different characters - and plays them all really well. What's most refreshing about Kits is that he speaks tagalog fluently in his drama and uses it not only as a way to educate his audience in the Pilipino language, but also as an added tool in heightening the overall humor. Because let's be honest, everything is so much funnier when that Pinoy accent and sentimentality, and those familiar teleserye-like tagalog phrases all come forth. It really doesn't get much better than a dramatically heated fight between rivals spoken entirely in Tag-lish.

Tumawa ka na! Translacion: These videos are hilarious, so laugh already! (not a direct translation). They so brilliantly capture the smallest intricacies of what makes Pilipino culture and media so humorous and unique - especially for those who might normally watch such dramas with fanatically straight faces (although I've always laughed regardless, sorry). All I know is, by the end of this drama, I was crying too... with tears of laughter. And for those of you who have any sort of experience with Pilipino TV, you will be cry-laughing as well while also continually yelling 'SO TRUE!' at the screen. And if somehow you manage to not even crack a smile after watching these videos, well then...*Slap*"

Hi everyone! It's been so long since I have written here on my blog site. As you know, our personal lives can get in the way and we have priorities to take care of so we have to do what we have to do. Anyway, I wanted to share to you guys how moved and inspired I am lately. I know film making takes so much and it's such a big production but I have a lot pending and my mind is just full of creativity flowing. ^_^ We should always celebrate the Gift of Creativity.

Right now, I am still currently working on the Mini YouTube Gathering I had thrown on the 11th of July. I'm trying to find ways on how I'll be presenting that video. I'm probably going to just make it simple and presentable. I'm hoping to put that out real soon. Also, I've been working with a lot of collaborators. Like I had mentioned before, I wanted to do collaborations with different people this season and it's really exciting to have them participate on my videos. I can't wait to put them up! =D I wanted to let you all know how excited I am in working on these upcoming projects!

By the way, this September, I have an interview coming up for this internet web show and I'm really psyched about that. I'll give more details later on. During that moment, anyone can participate and call during that interview. There's still so much editing to do for Behind The Videos. I will definitely work on them soon and put them up on www.youtube.com/ItsCreativeSoul. With all these haps, we always have to do one thing at a time. Keep yourselves stress free and enjoy life guys! Just thought I'd update this blog site of mine again. Thanks to everyone who stuck with me throughout.

Love you all, as always..

Hey guys! 23 more days left 'til the Mini YouTube Gathering that I'm throwing in Orange County. I'm really excited for this small event since this will be a great chance to bond, have fun, get to know more about each other, and meet new people! =D

It's all about having fun and just hanging out! If anyone else is interested, please e-mail me here at: kgproductions2@gmail.com to receive an Evite. =]

Here is the latest video announcement I did for this gathering. You can get all the information here:

Hi guys. At this moment I have been focusing on the new forthcoming videos. I've been preparing costumes, characters, and rebuilding sets that didn't push through last season. This season I've been also planning on doing collaborations with different people. Never thought It'd be challenging especially having new people involved in your videos. I've been getting ideas in my head and scribbling down ideas for collaborations. We'll see how this whole thing goes.

The current "TFS - The Filipino Soap video got lots of feedback and I'm possibly continuing the series later on. Right now I'm just balancing everything that I do with work, personal life, etc..

Thanks to everyone who actually reads this Blog Site and for your continuous support with my artwork. More videos to come real soon.

Love,
Kits
