hey guys, ya i posted it on the site talk thread too, sorry for the double post. but ya i can't enter cuz i'm a canadian . it wouldn't been perfect for me, and a really good oppurtunity to get my name out there too. i downloaded the assets tho, the sounds of what they gave us are pretty sweet, they isolated the dialogue as well, along with the smoke monster sounds, which might be useful for me in the future, most definitly

Great job on your promo Kim, I really liked it. It took days for my promos to show up on the site too.

Here's a couple of mine. Unfortunately they really fucked up the quality though.

I think this dude's promo is gonna win it. It's really smart and well done.

absolutely awesome Dennis!!

I have no chance in hell compared to you!! lmao

the guy who did obsession was fabulous and I too have said I think he can take it all...but then my mom said it doesn't really promote the show exactly...it promotes the fans and their obsession with hints of the show...but if you never saw lost, if wouldn't do much into getting somone to watch...but i dunno, she is prob just being nice to make me feel better b/c i still think it has a chance..lmaooo

[nikkimonique]

LOL I just watched that one! It was great...But I still think you all have a chance to win. Depends on what they are looking for I guess. LOL but that was so funny that she had a framed photo of Sawyer and then that guy down in his basement that was trying to figure out the show! Its funny but it also makes me sad

Thanks Kim and Nikki. I don't think I have a shot in hell but it was still fun to make a couple promos.

I never thought about that. I guess if you weren't a fan of the show you wouldn't really get the idea of that promo. I still think he's gonna win though just because it's so well done.

But the thing is promos are not for fans. This guy I know, his best friend works in Los Angeles with movies. He said that Promos are for the people who don't watch at all or don't watch regularly. ABC knows that fans are already going to watch, and their goal is to attract new viewers, even now.

Promos are not for fans because they reveal too much, for instance they reveal the end, they don't explain it they reveal it.

I thought the video "The Obsession" was well done, but I didn't think it was strong as a Lost promo because I found it more of a parody, that to me seemed to be making fun of the fans. I didn't see it as a Lost promo that is trying to get people to watch. I didn't buy it as a Lost promo.

I made 5 promos to enter in the contest.
The first one was called Character Reflective and is under the name Macainickle (that's my ID at The Fuselodge)

I also posted the video Misuderstandings under the name Macainickle.
Here's it's link:

This is my personall favorite.I was able to use Sony Vegas/Windows Movie Maker to do it and the other 3.I wanted this one to have some blink and you miss it clips like they do it the real promos.

Under the Username Fishbiscuits42 I entered Guys where are we, this is a video about some of the stranger things associated with the island.Here's a link: http://lost-promo-contest.abc.go.com/punlished/8719

Also under Fishbiscuits42 is Sentimental Journey.This was a look at the characters and some of their key moments and some of the things we will remember them by. Here's a link : http://lost-promo-contest.abc.go.com/published/8718

Lastly, I have an entry under Guavaseeds42 called Everything Happens for a Reason.Here is it's link:

Did anyone else think it was unfair that when you used ABC's editing tools you did not get all the clips that you did when you downloaded the clips?There were no romance clips on ABC and a few of the iconic scenes and dialogue scenes were missing as well.

I thought some of the clip choices were strange.Kate's my favorite character so I wish they'd had better clips than just her turning her head.And where were Desmond and Penny and PB&J.I love Jate and Skate but Desmond and Penny are the ultimate Lost couple.

I'm surprised that Sky one and other international channels that air Lost are not getting involved with this contest.I don't see why they couldn't run an identical contest open to their viewing audience and reward a prize to them.

I had alot of fun making the promos.It was a nice challenge.
I look forward to getting to see all the videos entered by LVI members.Good luck to everyone who was able to enter.

"Convergence" by Sam Balcomb

I thought his video conveyed what LOST was about. I think they did a great job of executed it.

I liked the Obsession video, but I saw it more as a parody and not really showing us what 'Lost' has been.
