Love this vid, Macaila! Makes it look like a cool place to vacation.

Very cool idea I love the irony of it all, especially the 'warm' welcome from the natives LOL

This is so awesome!! I laughed out loud a few times, like with Sawyer "fishing" and the part about the natives welcoming you for a long stay (cue flaming arrows). It really did sound like a travel video, with the music and all! Made me want to crash on the island even more than I already did!

I also loved the part about the Island Open and boar hunting...so classic! Great choice of scenery shots. You're so creative! I am inspired to do a fun vid now....

Thanks for doing this!

This was such an interesting and original idea and I thought you executed it so well. I want to go there I want to go there!! LOL. Boar hunting and the fishing was awesome. The 'Let the natives welcome you' with the arrows was so great. Great vid.

Thank you all for the great comments!

Thanks Heather! Glad you thought it looked like a cool place to vacation. I've been wanting to do this vid for a long time (almost 10 years). It started out as this little book I made before I learned to make vids. I'd wanted to adapt it for a long time. This seemed like a perfect chance to do it.

Thanks Ali ! Glad you liked the irony of the vid. I wanted to lay it out so at the start of the vid you see this beautiful paradise but the deeper you get in the vid, the more the weird and less friendly side of the island comes out. I thought the others shooting arrows at them would be a great fit. I liked that it almost looks like fireworks at first, before they start raining down on the beach.LOL

I don't know if this came through in the vid but the reason Locke is in the final frame about "you'll never leave" is because he was smoke monster Locke who was unable to leave the island.

Thank you Jen! I was hoping this would make people smile.I like the fishing scene too, I loved how terrible he was at fishing. Glad you thought it sounded like a real travel vid. I was hoping it would seem somewhat realistic. I wanted to focus a lot on the scenery more than the characters. The island is so pretty and I felt like when you go on this kind of vacation it is the location, not the people you go to see.

That's so kind, I'm glad my vid inspired you to do a fun vid. You should definitely do one. They are a lot of fun to make. I have a few ideas brewing for more fun vids.

Thank you Brooke! Glad my vid made you want to visit the island. The boar hunting and fishing scenes were some of my favorites.
In the travel vids they portray the vacation like nothing ever goes wrong and that's just not life. Something always goes a little wrong. So I wanted to show a "real" vacation experience. So Sawyer's a terrible fisherman, Michael gets attacked by a boar, Hurley can't swing a golf club, and the natives aren't so friendly.

Just wanted to say that I totally got the whole "you'll never want to leave" thing with MIB never getting to leave the island. Nice tie-in! Really loved this whole vid.

[Im1oftheOceanic6]

Good, I was hoping that would come across. I'm glad you got it and that you enjoyed the vid.

[namaste nikki]

This was the best!!! When can I book my ticket!!!

[rbexter93]

I loved this! Such a great idea for a video

[Im1oftheOceanic6]

Thank you, Nikki Tickets to the island are available exclusively on Oceanic and Ajira Airlines.

Thanks Becca! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm hoping to do some more light hearted/parody style vids in the future.

[eloramoon]

Ahaha! That was FANTASTIC, Macaila! Such a great idea and really well done.

[Im1oftheOceanic6]

Thank you Julia! I had a lot of fun making this video. I'm planning out some more light hearted vids. I have some Lost ideas and a couple for other fandoms that I'm hoping to make soon.

[eloramoon]

Yay! I'm looking forward to them.
