Introducing LG15: The Resistance
Introducing LG15: The Resistance
Over the last few months we’ve been hard at work putting together the latest installment in the LG15 Universe, LG15: The Resistance. The story has already begun to unfold on LG15.com and around the web. Who or what is the Hymn Of None? Why are they defacing a variety of websites throughout the LG15 Universe? How is this connected to the Crowley Collection? Where does Lifes Blood Labs fit into all this, and are they to be trusted? Why is Sarah so bored? Most importantly, where is Jonas? Will he rejoin the fight? LG15: The Resistance explores the continuing adventure of Jonas and Sarah as they work with an expanded cast of characters to fight the Order and other organizations that may pose an even greater threat…
We’re incredibly excited about the show and we’ve put together an amazing team of people to produce it. The Executive Producer of LG15: The Resistance, Amanda Goodfried, has spent the past year producing lonelygirl15 and brings a wealth of experience and creativity to the project. Head Writer Josh Fialkov is a critically acclaimed and award nominated comic book writer having produced popular titles “Elks Run,” and “Punks.” Joining the team are a handful of writers, editors, directors, and producers some of whom are new and others who have worked with us on previous shows.
We’ve learned a lot from producing lonelygirl15 and KateModern and we’ve tweaked the format slightly to make the show more accessible to a broader audience, and to simultaneously give us the ability to tell a deeper and even more compelling narrative. Based on all of your feedback, we’ve shortened the season to three months (yes, that means questions posed at the start of the season will be answered by the end of the season). Additionally, we’ve added a weekly episode that will be be posted every Saturday and supplement the daily content. The first episode of the show will be posted on September 20th on LG15.com and on branded channels on our partner sites YouTube, MySpaceTV, imeem, Veoh, and Hulu. Finally, thanks to the herculean efforts of our technology team, our incredible new social network platform gives us the ability to feature all sorts of content on the homepage (not just videos). Monday through Friday we will be posting videos, photos, and blog posts from the characters. Just like lonelygirl15 and KateModern, there will be a new piece of content each weekday (usually a video), and if you watch/read/view each piece of content over the course of the week it will feel like watching an episode of TV with a beginning middle and end. This daily content and plot-relevant additional material is edited together by one of the characters into the weekly episode and posted to the website every Saturday. Consequently, for those of you with less time on your hands, all you need to do is watch 12 episodes over the course of 12 weeks to follow the story. Of course, you can always dive into the daily content at any time and comment on videos and interact with the characters and the narrative.
In true LG15 fashion, the show will be highly interactive. In fact, there will be even more interactivity than on either of our previous shows thanks to the enhanced technology on the website. Every piece of content will feature discussion threads, characters and users will have profile pages and will have the ability to upload photos, import YouTube videos, and post blogs. There will be weekly puzzles, chat sessions, and over the course of the season there will be a few spectacular live events. The season will conclude with our signature 12 in 12 finale that will bring together videos, chats, character interaction, and live events. Needless to say, we are very excited.
The new site will be launching into private beta in early September (we’ll send a lucky group of you invites), and the site will go live in mid-September prior to the launch of the show.
WE ARE THE RESISTANCE
WE WILL NOT BE STOPPED

Sounds good. I’m pleased.
August 27th, 2008 at 2:55 pm
Can’t wait!
August 27th, 2008 at 2:56 pm
I like Hulu too, I was one of the beta testers for that site. Good quality stuff.
August 27th, 2008 at 3:15 pm
Woo-hoo! I’m so excited! September can’t get here quick enough!
August 27th, 2008 at 3:17 pm
woo, i can’t wait
tri-monthly (is that the right word?) 12in12s sound exciting, really something to look forward to! my only concern is “other organizations that may pose an even greater threat”… ‘cos this could easily make the threat of the Order, which has been built up for over 2 years now, seem like a joke, and in doing this make the new organizations seem less threatening as well. but im sure you’ll do it well
yay for eqal!
August 27th, 2008 at 3:20 pm

August 28th, 2008 at 10:38 am
Is it true there’s going to be just on episode per week?
That’s what Mashable said.
(otherwise I’m filled wiith excitments.)
August 28th, 2008 at 10:44 am
Neavers, make sure you read the article. Here’s what it said:
“Monday through Friday we will be posting videos, photos, and blog posts from the characters. Just like lonelygirl15 and KateModern, there will be a new piece of content each weekday (usually a video), and if you watch/read/view each piece of content over the course of the week it will feel like watching an episode of TV with a beginning middle and end.”
So there will be videos throughout the week. Casual fans can follow the story by watching the Saturday videos only.
August 28th, 2008 at 11:59 am
AH a date finally!! Can not wait till then!!! I’ve been having “withdraw” symptoms lol watching the old videos is not working!!! NEED NEW ONES….hehe…
If you are EVER in Texas (DFW area or surrounding cities) give me a shout!!!
I may be one of the older viewers lol but I’d rather watch lg15 videos than a soap during my lunch hour, some find me odd lol but who cares!!! keep up the good work!!!!!
August 28th, 2008 at 12:20 pm
Amazing:) Looking forward to it already! Keep up the good work:D
August 28th, 2008 at 12:41 pm
this sounds awesome!!
and getting an invite would be pretty awesome *wink wink*
August 28th, 2008 at 4:48 pm

This is great, best of luck to you guys working the production and the actors, and ofcourse the writers, no doubt you will make “the resistance” awesome for us all.
The new platform sounds great and the way it will work with the new website is even more awesome.
Best wishes from Scotland and Good Luck.
