Found Footage Episodes

Just wondering which genre series have done Found Footage episodes. (Noting that a couple of found footage series exist!)

The X Files got one in early in February 2000, and Doctor Who did one IN SPAAAAACE which I felt lost the immediacy of the idea. Star Trek hasn’t, not even doubke distant in Lower Decks, though I did find a brief fan film.

Buffy and Angel didn’t - could have with the Trio.

I didn’t do it in The Watch House either as it’s an odd genre to try in RPGs. Though we did do a behind the scenes episode.

(Still waiting on that FMV computer game from the makers of Host.)

Though the genre broke out with The Blair Witch Project being essentially a filmed LARP, and online sessions can go that way too, see on-screen LARPs like Viewscream too. I remember a Delta Green forum comment that The Blair Witch Project or something like it could also be a great player handout. Which would be interesting, if a lot to organise. (I actually saw it done with the first LARP I ever attended.) And would also fit with the series having a mystery-solving evidence box game as well as video games. And an escape experience.
