This is the vid to beat as of now. Quite possibly perfection in vidding...

Wow. That was AMAZING!

What I love about your vids, Charmax, (and not even just your Lost vids, as I've seen every last vid you did in the BtVS/AtS fandom as well) is that you always manage to put a really original spin on any song or subject matter.

When I download one of your vids I just know I'm going to be both amazed and entertained at the same time.

Definately one of the best vids EVER!

Love the effects, especially the experimentation with colors and shaky camera effects.

Very VERY cool vid.

[Charmax]

Ringwench thanks muchly for your feedback!
ah yes the shaky camera effect.. it's amazing what some bad encoding can do. It was entirely unintentional and I was hoping no one would notice. Although to keep my snobby vidder staus intact I should pretend I spent hours creating a jittery effect for this video. But alas no it appears on all my videos just don't look too closely please.

LMAO, that was my immediate thought that it was on purpose. And my dumb ass is sitting here going through analysis mode thinking, "Hmm, that's a very interesting choice she made there." And then the thought that immediately followed was, "I wonder if she had a plub-in for that, cause if not I bet that took a long time to accomplish."

I've had many wonderful accidents happen where I'll watch something I've been working on, and then accidentially notice that something randomly came together as a result of it and just go, COOL.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I couldn't beat this vid if I had a baseball bat the size of the Lost Island itself! Absolutely one of the most technically proficient vids I've ever seen. I've asked you before, Charmax, but it's worth repeating:

Are you suuuuuure you don't work for somebody like ILM??? 'Cause I'd believe it, you betcha!

A wonderful, wonderful vid. Brava!

No I am not afflilated with any tv shows, networks or record companies - though I wouldn't turn any offer down if it came my way

Aislynn you really know how to make a girl blush Again thank you and can I put you on my CV for a reference?

[MarieWP]

I can't say it any better than the other posters have. Amazing video!

[Charmax]

Thank you very much Marie for your comment here and on the site

Can someone update this? I really want to see it!

[Hobbes]

Anyone with a copy of this on their hardrive (RM version ) could you please upload this to Yousendit for us so we can continue the contest? I'll see if I can get ahold of Charmax, but I doubt it, since we couldn't get her when we tried to contact her to tell her about the contest I'd like it on Yousendit as I don't think Charmax wants it hosted for a long time anywhere other than her own site. If we can't get a working link, we'll have to disqualify the video.\
Thanks to Polarbear for pointing out the missing links btw.

I found this on Charmax's website:
