We’ve read your comments and understand your desire for more clarification regarding Season 2 of LG15: The Resistance. We would love to announce a date for Season 2, but that is not possible right now. We are actively looking for sponsors and the second we have more information we will let you know. For now we’re focusing on LG15: The Show is Yours and some other exciting projects that we will be announcing in the new year. We are really looking forward to seeing the creativity from this community and are excited for “pilot season.”

Submit your pilot today and subscribe to the LG15 channel on YouTube to watch LG15: The Show Is Yours.

We were doing some organizing over the Holidays and found some old cast photos from lonelygirl15. Check out the LG15 channel on Flickr and see if you can spot the previously unreleased photos.

Happy Holidays from everyone at LG15! We’re spending our holidays reminiscing and watching old videos. Here’s a video from last year that we hope you enjoy. What are you doing for the holidays? Tell us in the comments below or send us your videos or pictures to amanda@lg15.com.

I recently had the honor of interviewing Joseph Rubin, the actor who played Virgil on lonelygirl15. During our previous interview Joe mentioned the idea of resurrecting Virgil who was shot during the Season 2 Bloodlines finale. This time around, Joe and I discuss the idea of Virgil having an evil twin, which could be the basis for a pilot he might submit for LG15: The Show is Yours.

I apologize for the audio quality - if you have any specific questions about LG15: TSIY, email pilot@lg15.com. If you’re local and you’d like Joe to appear in your pilot (if he’s available), send us an email and we’ll put you in touch with him.

You can follow LG15: The Show is Yours here and on our LG15 youtube channel. Subscribe!

Happy Holidays!

- Amanda

Update: Watch Virgil Impregnates Lucy??!!, during which I take a look at some of our old props, Joe (Virgil, lonelygirl15) pitches the dramatic first episode of his pilot idea for LG15: The Show is Yours, and there’s some dancing at the end so stick around.

LG15: THE SHOW IS YOURS
Submit Your Social Show Pilot!

Do you think you have what it takes to make the next LG15 series?  Here’s your chance! Submit your ORIGINAL LG15 PILOT and get the chance to see your show be the featured content on LG15.com.

The chosen video pilot may be turned into a full-length social show, which will be the featured content for eight (8) weeks beginning in February 2009.

The Pilot:

• Your pilot must be derivative of the LG15 Universe by building upon the mythology of lonelygirl15, KateModern, and LG15: The Resistance.  For more information on LG15, please read the LGPedia, the #1 resource on all things LG15.

• The pilot can either be Episode One of your proposed show or a Pilot Presentation, which gives a general idea of the look and feel of the proposed show.  It must be no more than 5 minutes in length.

• Upload your video to YouTube and send the link with your social show treatment to pilot@lg15.com.  All pilots will be showcased on Inside LG15 and the LG15 YouTube page (this channel will now be the center of the LG15 Universe, so please subscribe!).

• All video submissions must also include an 8-week social show treatment that outlines your story, characters, and interactivity.  Your treatment must incorporate all aspects of a social show.  A social show is an experience on a website where a community participates in a specific entertainment property by viewing and discussing videos and other multimedia content, and by interacting with the characters through profile pages, commenting, and chat.

• We will begin accepting videos on December 29, 2008.  The deadline for submission is Monday, January 19, 2009 at 3:00 PM PST.  The selected pilot will be announced on January 26, 2009.

If Chosen:

• If your pilot is chosen to be the featured content on LG15.com, it will become part of the LG15 canon.  You will be asked to assist in the creation of  one piece of content each day, Monday through Friday.  This will require at least 2 videos per week, plus additional content such as pictures, text blogs, and interactivity.  Other members of the LG15 community and EQAL may also contribute to the creation of the featured content.

• An EQAL producer may consult with you and your production team and review scripts and videos to ensure that your story is consistent with the LG15 Universe and uploaded in a timely manner for the benefit of the community.

• EQAL may also create a custom show page for your show that will be a sub-domain of LG15.com (e.g. LG15.com/yourshow).

• For more information about how your content will be used on LG15.com and by EQAL and others about your obligations and the rights you will grant without monetary consideration, please refer to our Terms of Use.  Your submission of material further confirms your acceptance of the Terms of Use.

Good Luck!  We look forward to watching everyone’s pilots and seeing what the LG15 Community will do with the Breeniverse.

Hey Everyone,

Thanks so much for watching LG15: The Resistance, we’re thrilled that you enjoyed the show!  We’ve talked a long time about increasing the prominence of community shows on LG15.com.  We’ve read your comments, watched your videos, and asked ourselves the question, “What would you do?”  What characters would you develop?  What story would you tell?  With this in mind, we’re excited to announce a new chapter in the ongoing LG15 Universe: The Show Is Yours.  Now it’s your chance to have YOUR LG15 show featured on LG15.com!  We know there are a lot of features you’d like to see on the site, including PMs, seeing unread threads, editing posts, quoting, and formatting and we’re going to roll out a variety of fixes and new features to the website in conjunction with the launch of the featured community show.  Check here for more information soon.  Thanks… and good luck with your submissions!

The LG15 Team

Update: We’ve been reading your comments and we’re psyched you liked LG15: The Resistance. Right now we’re focused on building out the community features on LG15.com so that it’s easier for you guys to tell your stories. We’re excited about a Season Two of LG15: TR and are working towards making that a reality.  In the meantime, enjoy our attempt at putting control in your hands with LG15: The Show is Yours.  All of the details for this next installment of the LG15 Universe will be posted here on InsideLG15 in the coming days. 

Thanks! We’re so excited to see what you come up with. 

“And we can hear them coming home…”

Music by: Castaneda
Suggested Listen: “So This Is What We’re Gonna Do”
Recommended Tracks: Life Changes, Whatever

On October 6, 2008, Castaneda quietly released “So This is What We’re Gonna Do” from their Echo Park home. The band’s first batch of fresh tunes in a little while, it’s great to hear Castaneda has found their stride. And it’s great to have them as the featured music throughout today’s 12in12.

Where hopefulness and hopelessness meet you will find something that sounds like Castaneda. Maybe that’s true for The Resistance? No matter what, today is going to be epic.

These are catchy tunes sung by singer Vega Schenk and played by some of the coolest hipsters in town, really. A Castaneda show is said to be a great time. Lots of good looking people nodding in unison to a band that is just turning 1 in a few days. Not a bad start considering Castaneda is in a bunch of films and TV shows and the more you pay attention to Indie stations across the country, the more you see their name in the rotation.

Hats off to Castaneda for loaning us four brand new tracks. Click away and support these guys. They are going places.

Speaking of going places, thanks for such an amazing season of LG15: The Resistance. The chapters have flown by and it’s been a pleasure working on such a big project for the entire team.

Big hugs.

Seth

Hey Everyone,

A few weeks ago we heard that some of you were receiving copyright notices from YouTube.  Obviously this bothered us very much because we LOVE and ENCOURAGE community videos that use our content.  We spoke to YouTube and they assured us that they took off any restrictions for uploading videos containing our content.  We have read on LG15Today that some people are still receiving notices.  Please let us know in the comments if you are still having problems.

Thank you!
