Website of the Day from Cynopsis.com

“It’s a bittersweet day for fans of the long-running web series lonelygirl15, as the creators at EQAL studios will finally put Bree and her supporting cast to bed after more than 550 episodes. (O.K., they’re short episodes, but still; to compare, Gunsmoke did 635 episodes.) To commemorate the occasion, LG15.com will be uploading a new segment every hour today beginning at 11 am ET/8 am PT for 12 straight hours. If you’re one of the fanatics don’t worry - all is not lost. The studio says the convoluted mythology behind the show will live on in a new series premiering next month. Check out some of the mashups and tributes fans have uploaded to give the show a proper send off. The key takeaway that came from the Crowdsourcing panel I hosted at NATPE’s LATV event on Wednesday was that passion is what drives users to pour their blood, sweat and tears into collaborative sites and projects. These are certainly passionate folks!”

You certainly are! This community has made the blood, sweat and tears worth it!

Today’s lonelygirl15 finale is all about chat! Chat on the comment board, the forum, in the chat room and during the live chat at 11:00 am PST. There may be more live chats… stick around and find out! Tell everyone on youtube to head over to the website because today’s experience will be enhanced by talking to the community and the characters.

Surprise! Today’s first video was just posted on www.LG15.com. Tune in to the site all day for videos and live interactions with characters. Tell us what you think in the comments below, on the comment board, the forum, and in chat.

The lonelygirl15 production, unlike television or film, is not a big set with a group of people under the lights and another behind a camera. It’s actually a joint effort where the camerman, director, and producer get into the scene with the actors. Working in such close proximity the environment on set is much more like a family than a business. I could not have asked for a better group to work with. You are an amazingly talented group and I feel honored to have worked with you and call each of you my friend.

Reminder: The finale will begin at 8:00 AM on 08.01.08, but I’d get here early because there might be a few surprises.

As many of know, this Friday’s eclipse will also mark the end of lonelygirl15, but with every end comes a new beginning. The new LG15 show will be premiering in September on www.LG15.com. During the weeks leading up to the show we will be running an ARG/Interactive campaign to build awareness and bring new members to this community. In fact, it’s already started.

We know that you, the LG15 community, are the best ambassadors to bring in and welcome new members to the community. We are looking for people from around the world to act as ambassadors and help promote the show through this interactive campaign.

Each selected ambassador will be given a confidential set of instructions directing them how to proceed. If you would like to be involved email Amanda at amanda@lg15.com.

On FRIDAY, AUGUST 1, an astrological event will occur known as a total eclipse of the sun. The sky will become dark as a shadow is cast across the sky. For a moment light will cease to exist. As The Order tries to induct a new Elder, four friends will stop at nothing to end The Order’s reign and restore the natural cycle of life to the world.

At 8:00 AM PACIFIC (11:00 AM EASTERN) the lonelygirl15 series finale will begin. 12 videos in 12 hours will mark the end of lonelygirl15, but the fight has just begun.
