Lost Video Island

[littleton_pace]

MARCH 2008
Contest: Season 4 Credits
Deadline: April 4th Extended!


The Details:

We all love the ominous Lost opening scene, it's wonderfully original, but wouldn't we all love to see some opening credits? Well, now's your chance! This month we want you to pick a song that you think suits Lost and make opening credits for our fave show.

The list of characters we would like you to include are as follows and are taken directly from the show's opening credits.

Jack - Matthew Fox
Kate - Evangeline Lilly
Sawyer - Josh Holloway
Sayid - Naveen Andrews
Claire - Emilie De Ravin
Locke - Terry O'Quinn
Desmond - Henry Ian Cusick
Ben - Michael Emerson
Juliet - Elizabeth Mitchell
Sun - Yunjin Kim
Hurley - Jorge Garcia
Jin - Daniel Dae Kim
Michael - Harold Perrineau
Danielle - Mira Furlan
Daniel - Jeremy Davies
Miles - Ken Leung
Charlotte - Rebecca Mader

And yes; we realize that's a lot of characters, hense the longer vid time. Credits aren't usually over a minute but for this contest; they really have to be.

The Rules

Specific Contest Rules:

• -Credits must include every character on the list above and the song should relate to Lost.
• -Since we're talking credits; they aren't meant to be all that long. So 1-1:30 minutes seeing as how there are so many 'main' characters.
• -We ask that you NOT use theme music from another show but create your own from a "regular" song. (Instrumentals are fine, as well as songs with lyrics.)
• -The more creative, the better. Don't be afraid to take risks.
• -When entering your video on the Submit page, you MUST enter "March 2008 contest submission" exactly in your vid's description.

General Contest Rules:

• -Contest submissions should be entered through the Submit page.
• -All regular submissions rules apply.
• -Only one entry per vidder.
• -Videos already submitted and RELEVANT can be submitted again, but we would rather see something fresh. (Please contact a CM if you wish to enter a previously-submitted video)
• -Please do not use Megaupload, Rapidshare 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.
• -Have fun!

[Jemmz]

hehe, I did this kind of thing ages ago but it turned out rubbish and really long. I may enter this one but I don't get how the song can be related to Lost...you mean choose something that appeals to all characters? Something angsty perhaps? Can you give an example of a song that's a definite no? lol, sorry.

Also, not all clips have to be from S4 do they? I mean, it's not really a problem for me because I'm getting all episodes of S4 by download as they air but I was just curious

[KajaM]

I'm very glad that so many of you want to enter. This will be such a fun contest!! I can't wait to see what you guys come up with!

Quick Question can we use either instrumental pieces or songs which have been used for other Theme tunes from other shows?

You know when you hear a song and go "omg; that's Lost!!!" that's what we mean. If you hear a song that YOU think relates to Lost; then that's all we mean. We just mean songs that relate to the feel of Lost and would actually be used as a trailer. If you think it's Lost; then use it. Does that help?

I'll double check with the Others but I'd definately say no; they don't have to be season 4 only They will for the rescuers obviously but Mike hasn't appeared yet so you'll have to use other seasons for him. As i said ill double check but im pretty sure it's cool
