Wazzup Pilipinas TV Jingle: Nakaka - LSS Talaga!

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The Wazzup Pilipinas TV jingle is now a reality! Nakaka -LSS talaga!

We will post it soon with our video teaser when it's ready to be heard by the world! It's still the raw acoustic version and may evolve into a full musical production soon.

Super thanks to our talented composer for such a wonderful masterpiece! He never lost his touch even after two years of lying low on composing. I think he never slept when we parted that night after another day of shoot all over the metro. It was our second day doing several shoots for our special sponsors and guests for our pilot episode, that will be tentatively shown on the first Saturday of May, which is May 2, 2015, and succeeding Saturdays thereafter.

Though it feels like we've done a lot already, there's still a lot more stuff to do. More shoots and interviews scheduled, more events coverage in line for next week, and of course what comes next is video editing - selecting and deciding what will be shown from all the raw video footages, applying the special enhancements, incorporating animated and still graphics, conducting promotions and marketing of the show - presscons, marketing campaigns, and a lot more necessary to make this production effort a success.

We are so excited for the TV version of Wazzup Pilipinas!

Ano man ang iyong hilig, ano man ang iyong ibig.... ang show na ito ay para lang sa inyo!
