Lost Video Island

[Jemmz]

May/June 2014
Contest: Back to the Future
Deadline: June 30th

The Details

Evil androids, flying cars, superior weaponry – the future opens up endless possibilities! This month we would like you to make a video based on the future. There are so many great movies, television shows or video games that are set in an innovative futuristic setting – Futurama, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, Blade Runner, Almost Human, Battlestar Galactica, Star Wars, Star Trek! This is what we want to see in your videos – show us these crazy new worlds and the elements that make them up. You can even choose something that has been set in a “future” year that has now passed, such as the classic sci-fi movie 2001: A Space Odyssey, or a year that is fast approaching us, such as in Back to the Future 2. You can also base your video around a television show that sets an episode in the future or reveals “flashforwards” like in How I Met Your Mother, as long as the main focus is on the “future” setting.

Have fun and we'll look forward to seeing your videos...in the future!

We're already halfway through the first month of this contest! Can't wait to see some cool entries!

I think this sounds like a fun contest. I think I'm going to try and enter if I can get my Sony Vegas to behave.

I'm hoping my vid concept will work out.

I've had some ideas for future vids in the past so I know some great songs with that theme. If anyone's got a vid idea but you're looking for a song, I'd be happy to share those songs with you. I think they're all pretty open to any fandom. My concept is going to need an instrumental, so I can't use any of them, but I'd love it if someone else could.

Less than a week to get these vids in!

[Im1oftheOceanic6]

I'm still planning to enter. It's been a crazy couple of months so I've had to keep putting it on the back burner. But my vid is more or less finished, I just need to get Vegas to behave long enough for me to clean up my edits and render it.
