lonelygirl15
lonelygirl15 is as follows:
It is about a girl called Bree. She is homeschooled, has very strict parents, and her only friend is an 18 year old guy named Daniel. The have been many conspiracy theories about Bree and her existance, such as the fact that she might be an Occultist as in one episode, Daniel goes to light a candelabra underneath a picture of famous Occultist Aleister Crowley. Also, Bree speaks of a special ritual that she is going to attend and also take part in, and claims that it is an honour to take part in such thing.
She made about 10 or 11 videos before being outed as a fake. This revelation swept across the US, with evening news reports dedicated to it, and many many spoof videos emerging on YouTube. It seems to have missed Australia, but I thought it was quite interesting.
She and her 'friend' Daniel have made about 35 videos so far. It turns out that the entire project is fake. Bree is not a 16 year old home schooled girl, rather, she is actress Jessica Rose, a nineteen year old actress from new Zealand.
Lonelygirl15 has been a media phenomenon - if there were systems in place to monetize these videos, the creators could have racked up huge profits. What’s not clear is whether the success of the show can be repeated: users bought into lonelygirl15 because it spoke to them on their level - professional shows that reveal themselves from the start are less likely to succeed, and YouTube users are now highly skeptical about the source of videos.
The lonelygirl15 story is ballooning into a media hypefest, gaining unprecedented media coverage for YouTube. Yesterday the creators sparked a round of press reports by identifying themselves as Greg Goodfried, 27, of Los Angeles; Miles Beckett, 28, of Woodland Hills, California; Mesh Flinders, 26, of Petaluma, California, and Greg Goodfried, 27, of Los Angeles. Beckett, the geek of the group, met Flinders at a party - together with Goodfried, a lawyer, they recruited the actors to play Bree and her boyfriend. 19-year-old actress Jessica Rose, a New Zealander who recently moved to Los Angeles, got the lead role. They then began distributing the videos through YouTube and MySpace Video
So yeah, I suggest if you are ever bored, that you should check them out.
