Lonelygirl15 Videos, The New Soap?
By The Parodist | September 16, 2006
I got hooked! Hahaha.
If you really know me, I’m really not a big fan of watching YouTube videos. Too busy doing other things. But I noticed that there’s this buzz around the web about the said Lonelygirl15 videos so I decided to check what it was all about.
Ack. I thought I’d watch just one but I ended up watching it from beginning to the last installment [or was it?] Hahaha.
I’d like to tell you what it was all about but I just can’t find the right way to describe it without rambling on. Let me just let you in on what I think are the highlights of the “soap”. Heehee.
- Doe-eyed Bree
- Daniel, “the friend”
- P. Monkey [P stands for “Purple”]
- “Proving Science Wrong”
- And Bree’s Dad
Of course, since the video’s are home-made and the whole thing certainly seemed like a video web diary of a young girl, the millions who have viewed them thought the videos to be “real” but in reality, it’s just an experiment done by 3 friends on a different approach in storytelling.
It was only last week when the creators announced what the videos are. It caused some negative feedback from some viewers even if the videos weren’t really intended to deceive their viewers. I reckon it just shows how the actors and the creators made everything “believable”.
If this is the new trend for soaps, it’s far better than the ones on TV since it’s interactive. [Yea, the creators incorporate viewer feedback onto the succeeding episodes. Cool, eh?]
I’ll leave you with the link to the last video I watched. [Since Wordpress wouldn’t allow me to leave an embed thingie here. =P ]
