Lost Video Island

Hobbes · Posted: Sat Apr 08, 2006 4:18 am Post subject: April Contest Information

Contest Name: Humor Videos

Contest Deadline: April 30th

The Details
Looking for a good reason to laugh about Lost? Ready to shake away the mid-season blues with some truly funny vids? Look no further!

To celebrate the official month of comedy, pranks, and the lot; April Fools, we are holding a contest devoted solely to funny Lost vids. No catch, no specifications, just comedy.

If youâ€™re finding this harder than you expected here are some tips: a good comedy doesnâ€™t just rely on a funny song, but also on originality and the vidderâ€™s ability to take things to a further level. A video that merely follows a funny song with nothing special, or one that just showcases a montage of the funny moments of Lost is much less likely to beat an original one that used AU to make the viewer laugh.

The Prizes
This month we are offering a prize to each of the three winners graciously donated by Lostcalier! First, second, and third place will each recieve a copy of the Official Lost Magazine Issue Number 3, previewed here.

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.
-Running time must not exceed 5:00.
-Be creative
-The video must focus on Lost
-Videos made prior to the contest can be submitted as long as they fit the criteria, but we encourage vidders to make unique entries for the contest
-When entering your video on the Submit page, you MUST enter "April 2006 contest submission" exactly for your vid's Description.
-Please do not use Megaupload or Yousendit to host your files.
-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.

Heh, sounds like fun. Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with. I'll probably not be entering due to lack of time, hard drive space, and season one eps.

Yay finally I am back in time to enter a challenge. I've got a new editor and am on highspeed internet so hopefully I will do better in this challenge as I didn't even place in the last one I entered here. (Lost title credits video)

Now all I need is a video...

Good luck to all who enter and no matter what happens at least we all get a windfall of funny Lost vids!

Hey guys, one question:
Does it have to be a *general* Lost video or can it be about a particular ship / character... ??

I think if it makes people laugh then you can do pretty much anything.

Okay, I got an idea for the contest but it's a secret. I promise it will make you laugh. It's going to require some major clip and animation manipulation, so if I don't finish it in time, I will still post it for a few chuckles.

So, I'm in as long as I can meet the deadline. Weeeee!

Sounds good Steph. I'm sure you'll do great with this contest.

Phew I have now finished and submitted my vid. I started it at the beginning of the month lol. I doubt it'll do well since I'm still relatively new to vidding, but at least I managed to make my best friend laugh out loud!

Has anyone else finished or will finish soon?
