Hey Filipino!

**Hey Filipino!** is a series created by Guilherme Rocha during late 2020. However, the series isn't yet fully developed, still in season C (C for Curtas, Shorts in Portuguese). And Even Though the series' name is Hey **Filipino**, the main character Filipino, haven't made any appearance yet, and according to Guilherme Rocha : "The puppet takes a time of the crap to finish, and probably I won't finish until I'm able to convince my parents to buy the silver mongolian fur, but to make an excuse, Filipino went to France, and he didn't bring any device to record from there, Anna went with him, and Gordon's always busy". The characters Silly Doggo, Frank the Whale and Léo the Frog are until now the only characters in the series until now.

## History

It all started when Guilherme Rocha needed to put a cartoon for his sister to watch, and he chose Vila Sésamo (the Brazilian version of Sesame Street). Guilherme didn't treat it like an average 9 year old would, disliking it and accusing it of "being a show for newborn babies", instead, he fell in love with it because of the history behind it but mainly, the puppetry. He watched it so much he got a video on his recommended of Jim Henson showing simple ways to build puppets, and in the reccommended of the video, he found a YouTube channel called Adam Kreutinger[1], which taught how to make professional puppets, and Guilherme wanted to do a puppet to entertain his sister, "like Sesame Street, but in person". The puppet Guilherme tried to build came out all wrong, with the foam pattern and the fabric pattern be switched with each other, foam on the mouth plate, etc. when Guilherme looked at it, he needed a name for him, and he chose Filipino, because of the classic VeggieTales quote : "Ummm... Bob! Who are the Filipinos?"[2]. When he had his school break he travelled, and he watched the tutorials once again. Guilherme realized it was all wrong, and he wanted to remake Filipino. Instead of a Live-hand humanoid, he wanted to make it a Rod-hand monster character. The next night, Guilherme Thought he was able to make another character, and because he had more than one puppet, why only make personal entertainment if those are the elements to make a full show?? And he thought of other characters : A young girl that could do mixes just like DJs in the 90s, an antropomorphic dog, a man that had his head shaped like a gourd, a chef that only had one arm because of a birth problem, a whale and a frog. When he returned home, he thought well for a name, and he later thought : "If Sesame Street was going to be named Hey Stupid![3], why don't I name my show Hey Filipino!?"

### Season "Curtas"

Since the puppets weren't all finished, and he couldn't join the puppeteers, he created the precursor to the series, Hey Filipino! Shorts, where only 1 or 2 character appears. It is the current season.
