Mikey TV - Episode One: "The Memories of A Superhero"

Well, the first episode of Mikey TV is out!!! =) It's the first episode following the life of my cousin, singer and song writer, Mikey Bustos. =) Well, the episode has been out for almost a week now, actually. =P

This episode took a while for me to make because it was such a long interview and I had to cut it down to 10 minutes to fit on YouTube, and also had to include pictures and video clips to keep it interesting to watch (and to prove that what he claims was true). I showed it to my family today, and they freaked out at how many famous people he's actually met in the Philippines (I didn't realize just how famous until my family watched the episode). I guess they now know who's famous in the Philippines because they recently bought the Philippine Channel on Rogers cable TV. LoL. =)

This logo I spent quite a bit of time designing. It may look simple, but I've applied the "Golden Ratio" (1.618) to the design in so many ways (from the height between the "M" and the "ikey", to the distance between the "Mikey" and "TV", to the ratio of white to blue, etc.). If you don't know what the Golden Ratio is, look it up. =) You'll find something very interesting with that ratio. =)

But yeah, this is the first installment of Mikey TV. The episode name is a play on words, as it plays on the title of his latest album "Memoirs of A Superhero". You can download his album here. My family thought the title of the episode was a mistake. Haha. It's because the episode is a look back at the last 6 years (hence, "Memories") of what my cousin has accomplished so far. =)

I'm glad to be a part of all of this, and so happy to see my cousin achieving all of his dreams. =) We grew up together and I've always known him to be such a creative and intellectual individual. I'm very proud of him! =)

The video is also embedded on a website, which is still under construction -- www.MikeyTV.com.

Oh, and for some reason, on YouTube the counter is stuck at 301 views. Very strange. Apparently a common glitch. I hope they find a workaround soon...

Anyway, now for the episode of Mikey TV. Don't forget to rate, comment, favourite, subscribe, etc... (if you want to) =) Thanks, and enjoy! =]

Mikey Bustos

Hey everyone! Just thought I'd write up another quick blog post while I take a small break from working on my cousin's online videoblog series called MikeyTV, of which I am the director. I figure I should do a blog about him before I finish the first episode so that I can blog about the episode later. Haha. It's taking me a while to do the first episode, with part of the reason being that I need to create certain effects and graphics that the show will be needing overall, so I have to get that done first. After the first episode is done, every episode after that should take less and less time.

My cousin's name is Mikey Bustos and was on Canadian Idol season one. He made it to the top eight finalists. And yes, that means he is on the Canadian Idol "Greatest Moments" CD, which went Gold in sales. You can purchase the CD here if you're interested.

As of recent, he had just released a full length album called "Memoirs of A Superhero", which is in HMV stores Canada wide and also available for download on iTunes and Amazon.com. You can also hear his latest single, "If It Feels Good Then We Should", playing on rotation on radio stations all across North America, which is really exciting! I want him to do well and become more well known. His song lyrics have lots of meaning behind them, and he puts a lot of thought into each song. My favourite song of his has got to be "Everytime My Heart Beats." Beautiful song! =)

He's accomplished so much in so little time. He's toured all over North America and has even toured overseas in The Philippines. He was interviewed and performed on big Filipino shows like SOP, StarTalk, and Eat Bulaga, and was also a special guest on Philippine Idol. Oh, and not to mention that he was the opening act for The Pussycat Dolls as well as Christina Aguilera!!!

I'm very proud to be his cousin and to have known him growing up. He's very smart and intelligent and creative. We used to write stories together and come up with poems and songs. I really loved his creative side and I'm glad that now he is putting that passion to great use with his song writing. He loves to entertain and I personally feel that singing for the world really is his destiny.

The first episode of MikeyTV should be done soon, within a week's time. I will post up the link to the first episode as soon as it is done!

Cheers!
