MTV is filming the Real World right now in Dupont Circle in DC. There is an unoffical twitter feed, a google maps mashup by a local magazine, a few hashtags to track the real-time-verse (#rwdc and #rwwatch), and even a blog that rants against the local real world cast. But where is MTV?
I’m sure a lot goes into producing a show like the Real World, since it takes about a year for the show to make it to TV. But that’s WAY too long. Imagine if MTV was able shoot, produce, and publish in the span of a day (or two) straight to Hulu. Or even provided live unedited (and most likely pretty boring…) streaming via Ustream?
How long do you think before an enterprising young film student starts shooting the Real-time World in NYC? Complete with twitter feeds, community blog participation, the whole nine yards. That would be a show to capture the attention of the next generation.
