Jeromy talks about LG15 plot

Jeromy left the following comment:

"Hey thanks for posting these highlights.

Just so everyone knows, we spent most of the time dealing with Maddison Atkins in last night's chat. From the highlights posted here, it may seem like it was a LG15 bash. It wasn't, and I think that the few quotes posted here are the only ones that dealt with The Creators, Lonelygirl15, and/or how to fix the plot.

Except for the one that talks about how Maddison Atkins could not have existed at all if it wasn't for Lonelygirl15 and it's incredible fan base.

Jeromy"



So with that said, here are some of the topics related to LG15 that were discussed during the IRC chat session on Sunday:
You're Miles. Or Mesh, or even Amanda. What do you do about LG15? where do you take the story?

jeromy:

I start answering old questions
What is the ceremony
Why is it so dangerous and terrible
Who was Cassie
I finally start finishing up all the old plots
But - I can't imagine being them
they are busy
and they have to coordinate amongst a group

I hate it that Daniel isn't pissed all the time about being rejected by Bree
have you ever been shut down by a girl and hung out still[/quote]He also commented that they should:[quote]Fix it by filling in the plot holes like I mentioned before
But - why let so much time pass between videos
for instance
We know they talked to Jules
We know she dropped a folder
WTF is in that folder
And how many days have to pass before we find out
I'd pick up the pace
But it's not fair to criticize
I do not know what difficulties they face on a day to day
jeromy also stated that the gun was a:
High Standard Sentinel
22 revolver
When asked about the lg15 audience jeromy added:
it's interesting
They are constantly asking what?
What does this mean?
What is the answer to this puzzle?
What is going to happen next?
It would have been better if they started asking why, how and who
Why is this here?
Who put it there
and How did we end up with it
My puzzles required more of that kind of questioning
especially the ones that were never solved
In response to:

"Seeing as you are "in the biz" and didn't get much recognition from the Creators.. Do you think that it does not bode well for any others wishing to incorporate into their plot, with less experience in filmmaking.. aka regular fans?"

jeromy has this to say:
hmmm
Let me by absolutely honest
and this will probably cost me working with the creators
When I ventrued out in the beginning
I really wanted to get a call from them
saying something like - I love it - you are a genius
and you're hired
But after being entrenched in all this
I strongly feel the opposite
and my choice to get in contact with Glenn is indicitive of that perspective


ED: This is the additional Q & A related to LG15 that was missing from the original version of this article...

In respose to this question, "In all fairness to LG15 and it's Creators, would any of this have been possible without the medium they have created, with the Forums (necro) and Comments, and response vids? In other words, do you think this would have been possible by using only YT and myspace?"
jeromy no - for the pace of my story I needed the built in audience
jeromy luckily my timing was good
jeromy and it was luck

  2. I think most of what you said was constructive criticism that many in the LG fan base totally agree with.

  3. I added the additional quotation about the built in fan base.

  4. I think the Creators understand that we all love LG and hopefully reading these comments will provide food for thought in the most constructive way.

    While everyone approaches fiction with their own spin there is always room for experimentation so it is not always obvious what the best path is to plot development.
