EQAL / LG15 Stickam Chat re TSIY (Feb. 3, 2009) (Part 1 of 4)

Audio from stickam chat with Greg Goodfried, COO of EQAL, Inc. and co-creator of Lonelygirl15, regarding "The Show is Yours" Contest (TSIY).

TSIY challenged fans of lg15 to submit their own pilots and treatments for a planned 8 week fan-created series to be featured on lg15.com. The winner, announced last week, was "The Misfits", with runner-up "The Last." On Monday February 2, 2009, EQAL announced that The Misfits team had decided to pull out, and that The Last would now be the featured show. Greg set up a stickam session (though his webcam never worked) on February 3, 2009, to respond to uproar in the lg15 fan community over the drama.

Essentially, it sounds like it came down to a misunderstanding between EQAL and TheMisfits over what level of funding (if any) EQAL would offer to assist the show. No explicit promise of financial support was mentioned in the contest rules, but subsequent conversations may have led to a misunderstanding.

LOTS of echo here.

sometimes during the chat new people came on with their webcams and their mics started picking up the audio and rebroadcasting it with a short delay, and i had to mute them or they muted themselves. the "beeps" are not from my email client, not sure who was causing those.

On a second view I think that was Greg receiving emails via AOL or Skype.
