Wow, i reeeally loved all the different effects you used, the text overlays were beyond pretty and you build the dark and creepy atmosphere up pretty damn well!
A little lack of "whats actually going to happen to ben" for me but seriously: great job, amazing editing skills! good luck in the contest!

WOW SARA! When I see vids like this, I always scroll down immediately to see what program was used and I am often shocked to find it was Vegas--the same program I use, but used in a way that makes it seem like something way higher tech than what I have because I could never pull something like this off. That was VERY impressive! I loved the clips and dialog that you used and I really liked the way the text looked, too. Awesome job!

[nightdancer342]

Sophie- Thanks!! I appreciate it! Good luck too!!

SawyerLittleton- Yeah, I was being a bit vague and i really need to include a summery because I didn't want to be so upfront with my idea and completely fail with the storyline since it's practically impossible to predict anything Ben will do- LOL, everytime I do, I'm ALWAYS wrong because apparently he just doesn't think in a logical sense. What I can guess happened, is that both Jacob and Flocke needed to die and Ben will actually on a mission to destroy both,( even though he was chosen to be Flocke's servant) and now that Flocke is inhabiting Locke, he can be rid of because he's in a mortal body, and since Ben has free will he won't be listening to Flocke for long. LOL, but that's all in theory. Thanks so much for the comment!!!

Julia- thanks!!! oh yeah, it takes incredible time for me to get any effect on Sony Vegas because it's all so manual and I don't have any other program that could probably do it in seconds. lol! Yeah, I wanted at least my text to be cool. Vegas has horrible text effects, have you noticed?? LOL!!

I appreciate all your comments

This was really cool! I loved all the different effects you used in this. The text effects looked really awesome. Really creatively done.

[nightdancer342]

Thanks Dennis!!

[Brooke]

You nailed Ben for this promo. You really captured the Jacob/Fake Locke and Ben's play into it really well. His anger for what has happened to him and how he's spend his whole life living by Jacob and his entire journey back. I loved it. Good luck!

[MariaPurt]

This was very good, love the effects, and the whole vid too!

[Im1oftheOceanic6]

[nightdancer342]

This was SUPERB! I loved how you used Donnie Darko music, I love that soundtrack!! I really really enjoyed this, awesome trailer! Fantastic job!

[nightdancer342]

Thanks Kat! Thanks Heather! Thanks Jemma! Yeah, I love that soundtrack too! I kind of wanted something a little creepy and unsettling- and Donnie Darko/lost have many simularities.
