Tahir Raj Bhasin Quotes

It's like everybody is shooting something, and everybody's a filmmaker; everybody can shoot a cat video and post it. So the big thing now is - for people that have talent and have something to say, and are creative, and are capable of making something good - is how do they get attention to it?

You know, when I first started making online videos, there were a lot of filmmakers I befriended who were doing it too.

There's nothing more instructive than the immediate response of an audience.

The future of television is not on television but online. A majority of us are turning to our computers and mobile devices for news and entertainment, Millennials especially.

TV has been my goal since before I started YouTube.

That's the weirdest thing about television for me is that you're getting feedback in the middle of the work.

I've been fascinated by the Internet from the very start. In 2001, I had made a funny black-and-white film called 'How to Dance Properly,' a short video of me dancing to a Madonna song. I sent it to 17 of my friends on a Thursday, and by Monday, one million people a day were logging on to view it.

Sustaining an audience with a web series is an impossible task.

People are willing to support and watch web series as a legitimate form of entertainment.

We get prompt feedback on social network. The overseas audience is quick to convey what they feel about a film and we realise whether we are up to date.

There's a new success model, and us and some of our peers are now starting to prove that TV and very traditional content also works on the Internet, specifically on YouTube, and it can rival television audiences and television production value. 'MyMusic' is proof of that, having a successful run and now coming back for a second season.

I am drawn towards this new format of web series.

For me personally, I get to be a cartoonist, because my comic would never survive in print. Maybe one in 100 people would like it, but online, I can gather that one percent all in one place.

Suddenly, everyone woke up, and everything was moving online. We've got Netflix making original series, CBS placing their network online, and suddenly, everyone's announcing some kind of digital network for serving their content online.

From early on... we really looked at the Internet as a whole new way to provide storytelling and entertainment.

Everyone is using the Internet for almost everything - trailers, ads, movies, and short films. This is the only thing that will reach everybody in the world.

To be honest, making films is so expensive and their shelf life is limited. On the web, content remains... you can watch it after five, eight, 10 years... There's a huge audience and content on the web is accessible at the click of a phone.

I want to see more people push what it means to be a web show... because it's very difficult to make a living making those types of shows.

I think that's the thing I love about making content online - you get instant response.

I can't wait to bring #LizaOnDemand to my YouTube audience and hopefully a new audience, too.

Web series are the future.

As a creator, I want my content to be where people can watch it.

Before, there were only four pay per views throughout the whole year. Guys who were doing soap opera storylines could build them up week after week. We had longevity, and that is one of the main reasons why people remember.

The digital component is enormous in not only wrestling but all of entertainment. Every day, you read a new blog or article on Netflix, Hulu, this program and that program. It's where everything is heading.

Web series is an outing that is favourable to actors.
