hello everyone in dr. Gardner's Hyper
mediation and new media seminar I'm
sorry I can't be there for visiting
instructors weekend although I never
really thought of myself as an
instructor I still can't believe you
guys are watching my videos in class my
mind blown anyway I have to be in New
York for a conference that week so I
thought to make it up to you I would
answer your questions in the best way I
know how by making one last video just
for your class so my name is Lizzie
Bennet and now I will answer your
academic questions there something man
I'm rusty
dr. Gardner sent me your questions so
let's get started how is everyone doing
give us an update great overall mom and
dad sold the house and moved into an
empty nester condo and yes I miss my
room I miss my neighborhood mostly I
missed the free storage space Jane and
Bing err in New York and I'm looking
forward to visiting them when I'm there
Lydia's doing really well like
surprisingly well although maybe you all
wouldn't be as surprised I found that
the viewers were able to see my baby
sister much more clearly than I was
Charlotte is amazing I keep trying to
lure her away from Collins and Collins
but ever since game of gourds get picked
up to a second season she is far outside
my price range and Darcy is good too oh
this one's from Maria Lou hey Maria how
did you get into a grad level seminar
anyway uh what's it like running your
own business does the first year match
up with how you envisioned it in your
prospectus good question and a relevant
one
the first year of business has been
challenging crazy and amazing the
company has been building up a strong
base of online content while we actively
look to foster new talent and before you
ask me if you can have a job when you
graduate no this the most important
thing we look for in content is that it
have a point of view that it has passion
if you're just looking to be online to
get vaguely famous then you're not going
to go too far did everything that you
reenacted in your videos actually happen
or did you take liberties yes
everything happened I forget nothing
although I will admit that some things
were truncated because if I reenacted
the whole thing then I'd be reenacting
my entire life and then we'd be stuck in
a really long Charlie Kaufman film and
no one wants that and there were times
when other people took liberties and
what they were trying to portray
such as
dance is super slammin so is that Jean
Bennett I want to bring this out of her
that did not happen being never said
anything like that
trust me I wrote it all down in my diary
although he said something vaguely
similar there were layers layers don't
always come across in costume theater as
you've likely explored in your seminar
what was it like when your mother found
out about the videos interesting we all
want to know about you and Darcy I know
but I just don't feel comfortable
talking about it Lizzie Bennet not
comfortable talking about something as
the world gone mad one of the reasons I
stopped making my videos was that I
realized up to that point my
relationship with Darcy had been lived
out on camera and if I wanted to give it
a chance to thrive I had to let it do so
in private
actually that was a really hard part
about making my videos deciding what to
share with the world and what to keep
private you establish a contract with
your audience but where is the line
there were some things that I didn't
share in my videos things that might
surprise you so just know that Darcy's
great and I'm great
and we're doing great together okay
that's another Darcy question and
another one and another one okay
seriously guys this is supposed to be
your chance to ask me about the process
of making videos and working in the new
media industry not about my love life
dr. Gardner I can't believe you approved
these questions except this one was
written by you have you been talking to
my mother
okay how about this I might answer some
of these questions but not until I talk
to Darcy about it first
excuse me Lizzy have you uh Oh your um
filming which I will do now and get back
to you with an answer
you
