A 22-year-old filmmaker from Lower Longley, south of Hobart, has created his own reality series filmed across southern Tasmania.<\/p>\n

Seth Oscar recently released the three-part series, On The Run season two, on YouTube.<\/p>\n

Inspired by the hit TV show Hunted, it follows 12 contestants split into six teams of two. <\/p>\n

They must disguise themselves and hide for more than eight hours.<\/p>\n

\"\"The YouTube series was inspired by the hit TV show Hunted<\/p>\n

The teams are spread across Hobart, Kingston, Glenorchy and the city\u2019s eastern shore. They are competing for a split of $500.<\/p>\n

Oscar told Pulse the prize money made contestants even more determined as the day went on.<\/p>\n

\"\"The three-part series On The Run is available to watch on YouTube<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople took it pretty serious, altering their disguises,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Some contestants even shaved their beards to change their appearance.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything you see on the video is how it was,\u201d Oscar said. <\/p>\n

He said his dream is to work as a producer or director in reality television.<\/p>\n

\"\"Oscar is already planning a bigger third season for next year<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople like real reality, like the good old Reggie days on Big Brother,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

\u201cBut you watch reality now, it\u2019s scripted. I want to bring real reality to screens.\u201d<\/p>\n

The entire show was filmed in a single day on February 22. Editing alone took three months and more than 200 hours of work.<\/p>\n

Oscar completed a Certificate IV in Screen and Media at TAFE between the first and second seasons.<\/p>\n

\"\"Contestants disguised themselves and hid across Hobart for over eight hours<\/p>\n

\u201cI spent a year studying at screen and media in order to get better making videos,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Two teams are all-stars returning from season one. <\/p>\n

Another was recruited through a Facebook page just days before filming, after a last-minute dropout.<\/p>\n

The idea for On The Run came after Oscar applied to be on Hunted two years ago and was knocked back.<\/p>\n

\"\"Oscar said he wanted to bring \u201creal reality\u201d back to television screens<\/p>\n

\u201cFine, I\u2019ll do it myself then,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He is already planning a bigger third season for next year.<\/p>\n
