The LG15 Universe http://www.lg15.com/ LG15.com - The fountain of youth is real and it's in the blood of dozens of girls around the world. There are many factions searching for these girls trying to capture and control them. We find these girls and protect them. These are our stories. It began with a lonely girl reaching out to the world from her bedroom. lonelygirl15 flipped on her webcam on June 16th 2006 and in the course of a few short months millions rallied around her cry for help. Her parents followed a strange religion the Hymn of One and were preparing lonelygirl15 Bree for a mysterious ceremony. With the help of her friend Daniel and a passionate community of online friends Bree exposed the true nature of her parent's religion and fled for her life. A motley group of friends formed around Bree and Daniel and over the course of a year they ran from the Order the evil secret society at the heart of the Hymn of One. They learned that the Order had discovered the fountain of youth an incredibly rare enzyme in the blood of special girls like Bree. Controlling vast wealth and power the Order had infiltrated every level of society and on August 3rd 2007 they finally caught up with Bree and her friends... Around the world people just like you are joining the fight against the Order. In England another special girl like Bree was discovered KateModern and her friends joined the fight. In Poland n1ckola. In Australia The Last. And in the United States a new resistance answered the call. And now you can too. Help us protect these girls.

YouTube just celebrated their 5-year anniversary; part of their celebration was highlighting the stories of people that made the site so successful. We're honored they chose Jessica Rose and lonelygirl15 as of one their landmark stories. Our very own Bree shot a great video describing her experience on the show and what it was like to be one of the first YouTube stars. Finding Jessica was a stroke of luck I still remember how exciting it was watching her bring Bree to life. We couldn't be more proud of her!

It's great to see those early videos on the homepage of YouTube again and it's truly amazing to think it's already been five years since lonelygirl15 came into the world.

Hope you like the video!

Thank you!

Dear EQAL Community

My time with EQAL has provided me with some of the best memories and experiences of my life. It was thrilling to be there at the beginning when Bree was still in her bedroom when the views on YouTube started to climb and when the first national news article hit. The journey would continue all the way through Harper’s Globe leaving me with much new knowledge friendship and a stepping stone to the next level of my career.

As you all know community plays a key role in the success of any project and that is truly epitomized in the likes of those who have been a part of the lg15/EQAL community these past years. Which is why I would like to share with you the next stage of my journey. There are many compelling and extraordinary stories that play out every day stories that are unbridled in their intimacy and honesty. They are true tales that no Hollywood screenplay could best. I have had the honor of coming across such a story.

Kyle Bryant has Friedreich’s Ataxia FA a debilitating progressive genetic neuromuscular disease and it’s slowly killing him. Faced with his reality Kyle overcame fear and depression to dedicate his life to finding a cure. To this date he has singlehandedly raised almost a million dollars. To further raise awareness Kyle will depart from Oceanside CA on his recumbent tricycle in the Race Across America renowned as the most difficult cycling event in the world. He and a team of three friends will have to ride over 3000 miles...in 9 days.

‘The Ataxian’ is a feature length documentary film and an emotionally charged triumph of the human spirit re-defining what it means to have a disability of any kind and perhaps what it means to be truly alive. I invite you to view a trailer for the film and join our community focused on spreading Kyle’s message and inspiration around the world! Thank you for your support.

Sincerely

Kevin Schlanser]]> http://www.lg15.com/post/the-ataxian Fri, 21 May 2010 15:23:00 -0700 The LG15 Universe The Show is All of Yours http://www.lg15.com/post/the-show-is-all-of-yours http://www.lg15.com/forum/thread/the-show-is-all-of-yours post-Streamys post… clearly I was already thinking about some of the growing pains we're feeling right now.

Here it is:

Congratulations to Austin and his entire team for the successful conclusion of LG15: Outbreak. I hope that you all enjoyed it as much as I did. We've been thrilled by the response to LG15: The Show Is Yours over the past couple years. There is such an amazing amount of creativity in the LG15 community. It started in a bedroom with lonelygirl15 and around the country with shows like Rocketboom Ask A Ninja and more but now there's a huge international community of people producing fantastic shows online. Over the past few years the amount of creativity and innovation has exploded; there's even a professional organization and an awards show!

And that got us thinking. Why limit TSIY to the LG15 Universe?

The more we thought about it the more it made sense. TSIY should be for everyone. Now this isn't a well-formed idea right now it's more the beginning of an idea but we'll be working on the details over the next couple months. I guess you can think of this as a pre-announcement. Anyways in the near future we'll be announcing the launch of a new website focused on finding the absolute best social shows the web has to offer... scripted reality non-fiction whatever it might be.

And yes I said "social show." I have a pet peeve about the monikers used to describe our art. Web series. Webisodes. Viral videos. They're so limiting.

A social show isn't just video. And it most certainly isn't static. A social show just like the internet is interactive. We MUST embrace this interactivity if we want to push the medium forward.

A social show is like a blog on steroids with multimedia content and interactive "calls-to-action" that bring the audience inside the creator's world. If you've experienced lonelygirl15 Harpers Globe or the Real Women of Philadelphia you've experienced a social show. If you've experienced Philly D iJustine Epic Fu or HotForWords you've also experienced a social show. And if you have you know that it's addictive. Ever since we uploaded the first lonelygirl15 video to YouTube we've become addicted to the magical energy that forms between a team of interactive producers and a passionate audience and we want to encourage everyone to become addicts just like us :

Okay that was the sugar. Now for a little medicine. Because we're spinning out "The Show Is Yours" as an independent brand we're going to stop running an LG15-specific TSIY and will not be producing any new LG15 series in the forseeable future. Obviously this was a very difficult decision for us but we think it's best to close this chapter in the LG15 Universe and focus on the future. So in the next few months we'll be rolling out a re-design of the LG15 homepage to focus on improving the discoverability of all the current LG15 shows episodes and characters. We're also continuing to transfer shows from our legacy system into Umbrella including KateModern and OpAPHID.

So stay tuned. A new website for "The Show is Yours" and a fantastic opportunity for independent producers to partner with EQAL and create the next lonelygirl15.]]> http://www.lg15.com/post/the-show-is-all-of-yours Wed, 28 Apr 2010 10:13:44 -0700 The LG15 Universe LG15: Outbreak - A Thank You http://www.lg15.com/post/lg15-outbreak-a-thank-you-2 http://www.lg15.com/forum/thread/lg15-outbreak-a-thank-you Outbreak' first premiered in January and I feel all the more better for it.

It's hard to believe it was just last December when I got the call that I had won TSIY2 and the show was actually going to become a reality.

Fast forward a few months later and Outbreak has finished...going beyond what a lot of us expected.

I want to stop for just a moment and thank everyone who took the time to follow the show and to play along. The response we received in terms of followers during 'Outbreak' was incredibly encouraging and I'm glad that so many people decided to log in and experience the new season for themselves.

To everyone who was on the site day after day week after week commenting and interacting: thank you. You're the reason why social shows like LG15 work. If it weren't for the fans who sit by their computers following the story and playing along the show wouldn't work at all. It's because you all make the choice to WATCH the show that helps it to thrive.

From the bottom of my heart again thank you all for making 'Outbreak' a wonderful experience that I won't ever forget. I've learned a lot from putting the show together with EQAL and I wouldn't trade a moment of the time I spent working on it.

There are a couple of people that need to be thanked specifically for their time effort and support they offered to make the show a reality. Rather than fill your screen with a novel of text explaining why they need to be thanked you can simply check out the videos below. Nevertheless I feel it would be necessary to include the names of everyone who helped out in the show. Some helped in small areas some in large portions but it took the culmination of everyone's resources to put the show together.

A Special Thanks To:

Greg Goodfried
Miles Beckett
Glenn Rubenstein
Jason Matthews
Matt Seigel
Tasha Carey
Lance Little
Dani Martin
Vincent Rouse
David Nichols
Maxwell Glick
Mitchell Wright
Jordan Bush
Jessica Johnston
Bree King
and Jenni Powell

for their contributions in helping 'Outbreak' see completion.  

There's a lot of different things going on in the LG15 Community right now but the times when it really flourishes are when we come together and support each other. I'm glad to have hopefully left my mark on this franchise and I bid the best of luck to whomever decides to pick up the torch after me.

For the past few months I got to put together an actual season of one of my favorite web show franchises. To think that last year I was just a fan watching along and yet today I can stand up and say that I was able to contribute an installment to the show is just a testament to how incredibly lucky I am and how incredibly cool this 'online video' thing is becoming.

I don't know exactly where this whole medium of entertainment is heading but I hope I'll be able to witness it when it arrives at it's destination...

...and I hope we can all be a part of it.





Thanks again for an awesome 3 months! See you down the road.

Hope you're enjoying LG15: Outbreak so far.  I've been watching and I think it's great!  Austin is doing a fantastic job.  I am thrilled to see how you're engaging the show and getting involved in the community.  My favorite post so far is 'I Got Jacked'.  It reminded me a lot of when Bree and Daniel's hotel was ransacked.  What has been your favorite post so far?




I'm also really excited because Liz Shannon Miller wrote a fantastic review of the series on newteevee.com which you can read HERE. Here's an excerpt of the review:

"The result Outbreak is a mystery-laden new entry focused around Crystal Dani Martin a mysterious and attractive young woman who refuses to discuss her past with her new YouTube friends but appreciates the support they offer when her first week in her new apartment she experiences a strange break-in and advances from a creepy neighbor."

Congratulations Austin.  I can't wait to see how Crystal's story plays out.

So what is LG15 and how did we get here?  Well it all started with a show called lonelygirl15 that we produced over three years ago wow it’s been that long?!?!.  Over the years the LG15 mythology has been extended by shows that we’ve produced KateModern n1ckola and most importantly through numerous unofficial shows created by the fan community.  We’ve always appreciated the passion and creativity in the community and we formalized this process with “The Show is Yours” competition last year so that we could induct fan created mythology into the official LG15 canon.  So lean forward and enjoy LG15: Outbreak. 

You can watch the series but you’ll have even more fun if you join the community and participate.  There will be puzzles and challenges that YOU can take part in during the course of the show and you can visit all of the character profile pages and interact with them.  If you have any questions you can PM our community moderator Jason. 

Enjoy!

This submission is from user Stretchandmayonaise:

'What makes the life of one girl any more important than the life of another? The line between good and evil isn't always as clear as you may think. What is to happen to the good people that make bad choices?

Show Outline:

The life of Jordyn Johnson was to say the least the most typical of any teenage girl. Until that is she was brought an ultimatum. She would gain the trust of a group of "special girls" and hand then over to an organization called "The Order" or her her friends and her family would feel the consequences. Fans will soon find out that they can't play both sides. Either they support Jordyn on her quest to find these girls or support the people who will try and stop her from doing it at any costs. You've seen Shadows Elders Watchers and Claire but you've seen nothing like this. On LG15: The Order Files expect everything you know about good and bad to change. What would a seemly good-doing organization like The Resistance do if one girl threatened the life of another "special" girl? Take her out. This season YOU will control the show. The show is YOURS. Engage in a variety of interactive aspects to the show such as a weekly "live chat" decode clues and mysteries for the characters communicate with characters that will CHANGE the course of the show completely and come meet with these characters LIVE in a New York City Live Event! This season expect interactivity familiar faces and much more.'

Our submission for LG15: TSIY 2!!!

Yes we know there are a couple editing errors and we greatly apologize. The final version of the pilot is acually perfect and in HD Widescreen however it will not export correctly for some reason. I will be trying to fix it over the next couple of days and will post a better final version sometime at the end of the week.

This show promises to take you on an inside look at the inner workings of The Order and offers insightful flashback sequences such as LG15: The Resistance and LG15: The Last but in a new more innovative way! Also there will be at least one live interaction within each week with both members of The Resistance and The Order a live event in Los Angles CA and a 12in12 finale!

Hope you like it!!!
