We recently posted a video of the highly attended “Changing Da Game: YouTube Legends and the Future of Online Media” panel from the 2010 San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival. This panel was moderated by Lisa Lee (Publisher, Hyphen magazine) and includes YouTube artists Kevin Wu (aka KevJumba), Ryan Higa (aka Nigahiga), Timothy Chantarangsu (aka Timothy DeLaGhetto) and Wong Fu Productions.
From lessons on how NOT to kiss a date to professional music videos to nonsensical musings on life, these online performers have mastered the craft of DIY media. While their videos are often off-the-wall, Nigahiga, Timothy DeLaGhetto, KevJumba, and Wong Fu Productions have made a serious name for themselves in the entertainment business, garnering millions of followers through online mediums.
