Contest Name: Lesser-Known Characters

Contest Deadline: January 31st

The Details
A new year and a new set of contests for LVI! To start off, going with the theme of new years and second chances, we think itâ€™s time for some lesser-known characters to get the spotlight. This monthâ€™s challenge is to create the best video focusing on one of the lesser-known characters on the island.

How do you define a lesser-known character? Anyone without a flashback episode of course! This leaves Desmond, Danielle, Rose, Bernard, Walt, Scott, Steve, Ethan, Nathan, Libby, and whoever else, all up for grabs. There are two exceptions to this rule: You may center your video around Ana Lucia or Mr. Eko, but you may not use their flashback footage. Itâ€™s only fair. Besides, you didnâ€™t think we were going to make this that easy for you Ana-Lucia fans, did you?

Videos can be in any style, but a thoughtful one which attempts to interpret the character is probably more likely to win than a random action video that could fit any character. A main character can be included if there is a romantic relationship, as long as the main focus of the video is still on the lesser-known character, and no flashbacks are used form the main character.

As always, old videos can be submitted, but we encourage everyone to make a brand new video for the contest.

The Rules:
Contest submissions should be entered through the Submit page and all regular submissions rules apply! The following rules apply only for this contest.
â€¢ -Running time must not exceed 5:00.
â€¢ -Be creative
â€¢ -Video must focus on one character who has not had a backstory yet, with the exceptions listed above.
â€¢ -When entering your video on the Submit page, you MUST enter "January 2006 contest submission" exactly for your vid's Description.
â€¢ -Please do not use Megaupload or Yousendit to host your files.
â€¢ -Keep in mind that however you choose to host your video, it must be available for download at least until the end of the month. If we can not access your video at the time of judgment it will not be considered.

W00t! This sounds like fun!

I already did a Desmond vid, so on to my next favorite minor characters--a Rose/Bernard vid it is!

Now let's see if I can pull this off...

Wow, I've been meaning to remake my Enter Sandman video from just Ethan to Ethan/Danielle/Others/Monster/everything bad. But when I submit, who do I check on the characters? Ensamble?

Can we make a vid about more than one lesser character? Like, for example, a video about all the Tailies? Or a Rose/Bernard vid?

A video about the tailies in general is alsso fine. As for who to mark, I'd just go with Ensemble for now. At some point we'll have some categories for the tailies, but not now.

I've got a question, I'm close to finishing my vid, but I'm using clips from season 1 and season 2, and that is gonna cause aspect ratio differences, since season 1 clips are from the DVDs (letter box) and season 2 clips are from a tape (fullscreen). Is that going to be a big problem?? I'm definitely doing my video this way, lol, but I'm just wondering if this will totally screw me up for the contest.
