The proof was in the numbers. Videos after the outing benefited from the publicity surge and pushed a few of Lonelygirl15's clips close to the million-viewer mark.

"The Web isn't just a support system for hit TV shows," he says. "It's a new medium. It requires new storytelling techniques. The way the networks look at the Internet now is like the early days of TV, when announcers would just read radio scripts on camera. It was boring in the same way all this supplemental material is boring."

It wil soon blow up. Everything starts out small-if they get enough views it will go big sooner than later.

tried to explain to the executive that the central theme of online
entertainment
was interactivity, as opposed to the passivity of television. -

Unlike
television, where writers sit in a room and come up with a single
script,
the
Lonelygirl15 team comes up with a general plotline and then sends its
writer-directors
out to produce independent but interconnected videos. All the
characters,
in essence, have their own show. - 1 more annotations...

They don't have a
big TV deal, or even a big Internet deal, but they're convinced that what
they're doing is important anyway.And they're still here, in Flinders' bedroom. Rose leaps onto the bed and
jumps up and down.

What's needed, he says, is content that's built specifically for the Web. It
doesn't need to be lit like a film – that would make it feel less real. - 2 more annotations...

Flinders can't write and film them all, so new writer-directors have been hired
and paired with actors playing the new characters. -
If
it couldn't be shared – if hard borders were put around it – how
different
was

If this was going to be the first successful Internet TV
show, they felt it needed to embrace the medium

The exec responded by walking them through his fall lineup and pointing out that
the network's Web site had great supplemental video material for the season's
upcoming shows. -

This Web series not only looks different, it's made differently than other filmed entertainment.

I still think this tactic has been used enough prior in movies and what not that what's fake is REALLY VERY NOTICEABLY FAKE. Yes, it has a different look than a tv show, but it still screams overly produced....

I suppose they did do things right. Still, I think it's funny that they didn't want the girl to even leave her house, because fans had started to recognize her at public places - people watch celebrities portray characters all the time and realize there is no truth to any of it. And, when all was revealed, people still watched, did they not? I think even more people watched.

It's enough to keep the operation afloat until they can find a way to take serialized online entertainment to the next level.

I don't blame the companies for wanting to claim ownership over this site. It would be a HUGE moneymaker for them.

He wanted to create shows in which the line between reality and fiction is
blurred, where viewers can correspond with the characters and actually become
involved in the story by posting their own videos. -
You make movies for the big screen, sitcoms for TV, and something else entirely
for the Internet.
