In case you thought the viral videos are just limited to internet sites like youtube, broadcaster, funnyordie and other likewise sites then you are wrong. Seeing their popularity Fox has decided to go that route and is currently airing "On The Lot" every tuesday primetime. And I will brand it as the current best reality show comparing to others like NBC's "America's got talent" or ABC's "Next best thing" or even Fox's own "So you think you can dance".
So if you are not "On the Lot" yet....... after couple of episodes since it began, it has now 12 budding directors remaining, each of them get 5 days to make a 2 to 3 minute film. Every episode 6 films are shown and based on viewer's votes, one upcoming director is voted off in next telecast, while others proceed to the next round. Finally the winning director will get a contract of a million dollar project in Spielberg's Dreamworks production! Needless to say....in viral video world all these directors are already celebs by now.
Last episode's theme was "Comedy" and I enjoyed watching all the six short films. I liked "Doctor-In-Law" by Shalini, "Under the Gun" by Hilary and the best of the lot "Die Hardly Working" by Zach. All the episodes and short films are there on www.thelot.com.
Below is the link to this personal fave of mine from the latest airing.
