In Four teens feed their love of the books, the Los Angeles Times reports on how the teenagers have created viral videos of The Hunger Games trilogy.
So far, the group has written, produced, edited and starred in 10 videos based on the “Hunger Games” trilogy, each about eight minutes long and posted on YouTube under the name L4gMast3Rz. The teenagers posted their first video in December 2010, more than a year before Hollywood’s first film came out. That episode was quickly picked up by the “Hunger Games” fan site Mockingjay.net and in less than a week was viewed 6,000 times.
The friends were so excited they filmed a video thanking their fans for watching it.
It has become easier for amateur productions to find an audience beyond indulgent friends and relatives. Sites such as YouTube and Vimeo give even the most amateur backyard auteur access to millions of viewers.
Today, the friends’ DIY videos altogether have been viewed more than 4.5 million times. [more]
