Bump for all the creative marketers out there.

You always seem to be right ontop of the latest and most creative pieces that crop up.

Nice that you share them

Lol, "Lonelygirl15", is there any screen name that screams out "fake" and "spam" more than this?

She's hot

**Gillespie** · 09-08-2006, 08:52 AM

When they discard her, some sponsor should sign her. She would be a money making machine.

The second video gave it away. The editing is just too slick for that to be a real 'amateur' user-submitted vid. Much better editing than that "Ask a Ninja" series lol.

**Love Sex** · 09-08-2006, 09:37 AM

nice, i knew it was fake the first time i saw them. the editing/effects and subject matter were to good for an amateur 16 yo. It reminded me of good music video.

Here's an update on all this: http://www.latimes.com/entertainment...-entertainment

The creators make an "admission"...well, sort of.

**OzMan** · 09-09-2006, 07:33 PM

you just ruined my day.. This is like finding out the Easter Bunny isn't real.

I have been following her for a while. I don't think the slick video editing gives it away. There are many amateur videobloggers whose editing skills extend far beyond the average.

but yeah..er thanks

**OzMan** · 09-09-2006, 08:52 PM

confirmed..see the video http://youtube.com/watch?v=et24KNCbkF0

**spacedog** · 09-09-2006, 09:46 PM

Saavy!!!

**Vegas Ken** · 09-09-2006, 09:52 PM

Thanks for the article. It will be interesting to see where it all leads?

Those Marketing People, I tell ya... LOL

Latest update on it: No big studio, no pre-movie suspense, it's actually an exploration into "interactive storytelling" http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la...iewed-homepage

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised AT ALL if it indeed gets picked up by a studio.
