Hey dodacrazy – If you used some punctuation and proper spelling, you might actually get your point across instead of sounding like a ranting moron. Its “You’re” not “your” both times you used it. Also, it sounds like you’ve got a problem with the cell phone business and not anything to do with the videos. But hey, every moron has the right to display in public just how big a moron they are.

moron.

Not sure whats not to like, Jill. We finally start to see some advertiser supported/created content that is actually entertaining in its own right and you think thats a bad thing? What about branding and not just direct response objectives? Maybe by the end of the series you will be a convert, rather than having to suffer through an overt, obnoxious, over-the-top brand integration in the first episode.

Great job here on subtle, natural, organic product integration that doesn’t make the viewer want to throw up. Instead, they’ll keep coming back for more.

Kudos to AT&T for NOT pushing their brand on us and instead bringing us some truly entertaining content. See you ladies in the next city!

NTV! Thank you for checking out our little series. Yes, you nailed it when you called it “ambitious” because it’s definitely one of the biggest, craziest projects we’ve ever taken on. We’ve worked with Justine on a few projects and she’s always a real pro and an absolute treat. Studio 8 produces a variety of comedic items – one-off sketches, commercials, and scripted series, but this was our first “reality” project and we were intimidated. We had to hit the ground running (literally many times) and just hoped that we could keep everything pretty and fun.

I think we started hitting our groove in the Chicago and Alaska episodes, so don’t forget to check those out starting next week.

New devices, new characters, and new surprises await!

That was dorky.

The focus of the series was on the ubiquity of coverage and at&t’s extensive presence in the United States which allows customers never really to get lost no matter where they go–thanks to GPS, AIM, email, internet, phone, photos, video, etc. And Jill you are right–the supporting content (twitter updates, vlogs, blog posts and pics) is light–for now. We and the girls certainly captured plenty behind the scenes footage and extra feature content and I’m sure you’ll be seeing more of that in the next cities.

As the series evolves I think you’ll notice in Austin and Chicago there is even less emphasis on product and more about how these intensely connected individuals (Justine and Karen)–who cannot go for a second without being in touch with their audience–can still be in touch, and fully, no matter where they go, thanks to at&t. And we have even more fun as Studio8’s creative genius is fully unleashed in wild, wild, Texas.

If viewers can take anything from the series (especially after the dramatic finale), it would be inspiration to grab their phones and get out of and see the world (or the country, rather) and not be afraid to rely upon this extraordinary portable technology that enables us not only to find our way but to stay in touch and share our experiences with others.

The greatest part about doing this series was rediscovering the concept of geography. When we spend most of our day online interacting with people who aren’t there, and whose location is somewhat irrelevant, it is refreshing to get out and feel and smell the real world. And I think at&t hit that point with Lost In America.

Thanks for the review.
