Watching the watchers?

[bethy]

I'm beginning to wonder if some of the "new" stuff is part of an adopted collaboration. Meaning, there are fans who are getting in on the fun, and the creators are adopting them into the story because it works. It makes for fun twists, I think.

Example...I live in the area where a lot of the LG videos are filmed. In fact, I live right down the street from Cabarello Canyon, where the Thanksgiving vid was shot. It is conceivable that I could stumble upon them...or the actors at some point. In character or not. I stumble upon plenty of other stuff around here, that's for sure.

What if I happened to catch the watchers watching? What if someone slipped me a tip of when they would be filming?

Would I then become part of the story, too? Or just an off shoot of fandom?

Granted, that would probably make me totally psycho. But, wouldn't it be part of the fun?

Of course, I don't even own a video camera, so it's not something I would do...just hypothesizing about all the new story branches shooting up.

Can you borrow a cam? it would be really cool if you could go out to where the thanksgiving video was shot and do some Nikki style investigative reporting!

Ya. If you can find a way you should take some footage. Do you have a digital camera? You can snap a bunch of pics and just string them together.

I like Watchingall's idea, or you can do like a one-time vid, while innocently jogging along. Then just for effect stumble across an empty cranberry juise bottle where Bree & Daniel were sitting. But, maybe not. They made a big deal about the littering sign didn't they? Hmmm, but what if that was a clue, and they really 'did' leave something behind (er, besides the motel key)? You could have fun with it, and I'd enjoy seeing the extra footage.

Man! If I lived near where they were shooting...I'd so go there and check it all out! Get a cam and see what you can find!

Well, digital camera...that I've got. A really good one, too.

I take back the video camera thing, though...I forgot that my Palm Treo has video capability. It's not all that great, though.

Anyway, I guess the point was more wondering if the creators are adopting in fans to become part of the story line. Or they are writing the parts of these fans (like Jonas...or even Nikki. Shoot, even that Lord Greystoke guy.) Maybe a little of both????

Based on his videos and the speed with which he was canonized, he was created by The Creators.
