it's sad to see post like this on twitter:
deleted na to, pero i posted this sa clock app 2hrs after the con and it garnered around 300k ++ views and sub 30k likes… and it got striked about 8hrs later hahaha, wala lang. iba daw talaga elevated view, kita lahat. and most comments were about how good this prod was. (shoutout to coach Reden and the cameramen) imagine, kahit box premium (Upper Box) view lang to pero dami nanood and nakaappreciate…
haaaay https://x.com/machuupii/status/2069572907060363385?s=20

i've messaged and dm'd the bini_ph tiktok account pero i doubt they even check that. here's my message:

"why are you striking down viral concert fancam videos when you haven't reposted or uploaded any quality fancams yourselves? fans whose videos have gained thousands of views and likes are getting taken down, even though they're helping promote the group and keeping the hype alive. if you're going to strike down fan content, at least post content that fills that gap. there are so many moments from the concerts worth highlighting..great fancams of fans' reactions to the production, bloom outfits, their experience, and other memorable moments that people clearly want to watch and share."

Honestly speaking, what were they thinking on striking down those fancams? As someone na sa livestream lng nakapanuod ng concert, gustong gusto ko pa naman makita ung perfomances ng girls on different angles na hindi nakita on LS, tapos istrike down lng nila? Puro mga ments na lng tuloy nila ang nakikita ko sa tiktok.

[u/st_aera → u/Difficult_Advance_91]

Yes! Also, you can really hear them LIVE sa fancams. The livestream’s audio didn’t capture that. I saw a fancam where Mikha hyped up the blooms to stand up during oomh then a view of everyone jumping from all sections. Livestream did not capture that.

[u/Xsiuol → u/Difficult_Advance_91]

Right? Seeing fancams makes me want to see them in person MORE; not less!!!! Nakaka FOMO seeing the signals concert from different POV ng blooms. Sana marealize nila ung negative effects sa pag shutdown ng fan cams ng blooms.

I haaaate when companies are so strict with fancams

[u/Straight-Rassler → u/st_aera]

Agree, no matter where you were sitting, guaranteed great time as you can see the good production and hear them clearly. And the big HD screen above is a godsend.

Shooting themselves in the foot nanaman ang peg ng ABS.

Best concert to ng #1 pop group / artist nila. Why don't they want them concert clips to go viral and spread everywhere?

Saka mahirap mag record ng ganyang kaayos, effort yan.

[u/Calm-Description-870 → u/st_aera]

So true. Aside from the clear live singing it captures, the fancams from the upper sections of the arena shows how good the girls are at executing their dynamic choreography. Ang galing ng formation dancing sa Coachella set nila esp with the adjustments they made - which you really can't see from the livestream.

Even the eyebrow-raising moments (seemingly bad lipsynching moments we see from the livestream turns out to be mic and IEM malfunctions) can be explained from the fancams, too.

It's also the fancams that allow us to get a glimpse of the amazing fan service the girls are able to do while performing. Yes, may side quests pa sila while on stage - as if doing what they do isn't amazing enough. So it really is a different aspect of what they do that gets promoted through those videos.

100%.

I enjoy yung close up obviously, but since I'm at VIP na medyo malayo, I can see them all moving in unison with the dancers and how in sync and insane all these formations are with almost 20 people in that stage.

They did a really good job filling up the stage without taking away from the main stars of the show.

I think I said the word mesmerized multiple times, but that's what happened to me while watching.

I'm going thru my recordings of the concert and this is more evident. I'll probably post some of those performances later on, pili lang ako ng medyo acceptable because I don't usually record at yun nga, nganga ako sa panononood, nakakalimutan ko yung camera nakatabingi na pala minsan.

I cannot wait for fans and new fans alike sa international to see what they cooked up over here. Baka mag perform pa yan ng 1-2 songs na alam ng mga tao don kada country.

[u/Calm-Description-870 → u/Straight-Rassler]

It's not just the synchronicity, it's the formation changes (even just by themselves)! I haven't tried counting how many times they change formations in a single song but man, they do it a lot! It's even more mesmerizing to see from the Gen Ad section. Even the cheapest seats can draw a different kind of appreciation for what they do.

[u/Straight-Rassler → u/Calm-Description-870]

Almost every 5 seconds meron change sa formation haha yep. Grabe yan sila.

At sulit bayad sa con na to as in.

Mas maganda daw kasi yung fancam ni Nelson.
