[video challenge]"The Other Girl": Join the Flock!

So we've been talking in other threads about how auditions for "The Other Girl" could be playing before our eyes and how every random girl would be making a vid. I want to help!

If you think you have a good enough camera, acting ability and editing skills- I'll write the script! I just finished one in fact.

I think I can crank out scripts for a few girls- although I'm nervous no one will reply! So spread the word. LOL

UPDATE 5/8/07
THE VIDEO CHALLENGE
I hate to turn anyone away but the response to this has been overwhelming.

1) This is not a contest, try out or audition. There is nothing to win. The idea of a video challenge is to help people who wanted to make videos but lacked the motivation or an idea or whatever and give them a little push in the right direction.

2) There is no reason why you can't take the challenge on your own and create your own character. I didn't create many of the "new girls."

3) There will be future Video Challenges. I think the next one might be a mash-up. There may eventually be one centered around the Character Depot.

THE FLOCK SERIES
1) If you really want to do this-don't let the fact that I don't have any scripts right now stop you! These girls are going to need friends to give them advice, feel free to make video responses to them. Each girl potentially can have their own equivalent to Danielbeast, Jonas, Lucy or Gemma. You can even start by posting a comment on their MySpace or YouTube pages, they've been very good about replying.

2) The waiting list: I still get about a PM per day about this. Scripts may become available. This probably won't happen for a while though. I've had a lot of people contact me and disappear so the waiting list is going away for now. I have sent PMs and emails that remain unanswered. I have scripts out that I don't know when or if they will ever get made. That's not fair to anyone especially the girls who are putting out vids and trying to move the story foward. You need to be reliable! It would also help if you could show you have the ability to actually make a video since we are beyond the challenge at this point and are making a series. I'll probably try again if/when it's time to bring in a new character.

3) In the meantime I'm working in some interactivity to get more people involved. Hopefully those of you still interested will be able to make videos and contribute to the story that way. I'll be sure to post an announcement but if you've been following the story you'll know when it happens.

If I could write for everyone I would! I appreciate the interest and am working really hard to include anyone who wants to be included.
Thanks for your interest!

Wow, that's a very good idea! (If I wasn't so shy I'd try it.)

This idea is so awesome.

Problem is I don't think very many of us have the camera/editing/acting skills needed to look cannon :P

I'd want to try but I think I'm too old to be a ceremony girl!!

awesome idea.
I'd do it, but... I don't have a camera, don't speak english and don't have acting skills :/

I'd do it, but I'm 46, lol.

I'm gonna go ask Kari about it. She'd be perfect.

Thanks! Nothing but love LLP.

Have you been to the Character Depot? There's something for everyone!

Actually, I really want to try this. 22 is too old for a ceremony girl, but I think I might be able to find a way to make myself look younger...

I can't promise anything, but I want to try. I'm dying to see what kinda scripts immortal will come up with! :D

I would love to do it, but I have no camera. I'm going to PM Betz and see if she's interested.

Great idea Immortal! :D

I just read where Ian Ziering said he was 28 when he started 90210 and he wasn't the oldest one!

You can even turn this into an ongoing thing. Once all the Other girls have found each other maybe they can join a cyber Flock.

I was going to post some character descriptions but that would ruin the surprise- I made a chat called "The Other Girl" in the chat room and will be there for a bit.

Pigtails. :smt061


...and a lollipop, if you want men to pay for watching. :smt003


@immortal1: Really cool idea.
If anyone needs help editing their vid, just upload a reasonably sized source video and I'll do it. Just watch the quality - I'll have to re-compress it afterwards, so the source mustn't be too compressed already.


P.S.: Had I a camera, I'd do the Renebeast for someone...but alas, no camera, and no fitting bedroom in the house... :smt012
(not to mention the beard doesn't exactly make me look 15-17 ^^)

Haha that's true, I keep forgetting Yousef is also much older than his character Daniel :P

I'm at work, so I'm not sure if I can get into the chat room. If you don't see me then feel free to send a PM :)

Haha well that's my excuse at being 23 out of the window then!

I do look about 12 though :P

I might do it for a giggle actually.

Can my boyfriend be my Beast? :P Haha!

I've never tried acting in my life! So um.. I'll try. But if it's too cringeworthy I'll just give up I think :?

I have never seriously acted either. Just a bit here and there in "short films" I've made with friends, but nothing spectacular.

This will be fun! More should join us! ;)
