I didn't quite understand this assignment or what the relevance of it was, but these videos just weren't for me (perhaps it's because I didn't get my hands on the book yet). But either way, I found the first video to be kind of pointless so I tried to find anything that dealt with the story or mythology behind it. What I discovered was that the two girls in the video became somewhat famous, or at least famous enough to get Kevin Smith to appear in one of their videos. It also seems that they started a wave that made lip syncing videos popular. I for one am not a fan of these videos and never will be, but congratulations to these girls for making something of themselves via Youtube.
The other video by Lonleygirl15 was a tad more entertaining because right off the bat I could tell that this was going to be like a video blog series, which it indeed is. This idea is pretty interesting and the creator(s) seemed to have pulled it off pretty well. I did a little more digging and discovered they had a website and that the video blogs on Youtube were similar to a TV series with characters and everything. I'm assuming these kids were the first ones to pioneer a project like this and I am sure that many others have followed suit. I really like this idea and wish that I could have came up with it first.
