Lost Video Island

[Hobbes]

do I hear any suggestions?! Anybody!? anybody?! What contest should we put up next?

[lostzilla]

I would say Lost Movie Trailer, but it's kind of the same with this month's contest. Maybe we can do something like.. the cross-over thing, which is not a bad idea or...I dunno.. let's hear it from you guys on the board! I can't really think of anything good right now

Yeah the movie trailer idea is kinda cool. Or a vid to an actual music video. That would be really fun to do too.

I'm backing that idea of making videos using NO footage from the show itself Animations, pictures, behind the scenes footage, flash, 3d animation, etc talk about one hel of a tough, but fun, contest. Though we might just make it for June, giving people a bit of time to work on it lol

Did you just say "animations," my brutha? I just so happen to be the mama of a dancing polar bear, ya know...

Animations are where I started from! Hey, finally a contest that's on my level!

*then realizes how sad it'll be when everybody kicks her butt "on her level"*

Well, never mind then...

Oh, and freaky-sneaky idea about a movie trailer, lostzilla, because that was actually going to be the next vid I wanted to make! I found a song that just screamed movie trailer song at me! (Man, was THAT ever a scary moment... )Wow, great minds think alike, huh?

*sigh* Not that any of this really matters to me, anyway, I suppose. I've officially run out of RAM and therefore can't save my Angsty Jack vid as a WMV. *insert Ringwraith shriek here* Not that I'm upset about not being able to make any more vids or anything...

~Aislynn

PS - Don't mind me, I'm just royally annoyed at having a perfectly good, almost done Angsty Jack sitting here and nobody can see him but me! Which, in the end, might be a good thing for y'all...

I just noticed, the more upset I get, the more bold, italic and colored fonts I use. Hm, wonder what deep psychological meaning there is to that?

I definitely like this idea and think it's a great idea to have it posted two months in advance, so if you posted now, it would be June's contest. Bravo!!!

For May? Considering mister ominous narrator from The Journey special, we could do a best video set to narration.

Or... no, I'm all out of ideas.

Well there's the crossover idea leftover from the last "suggestion" thread that I came up with.

But I was also thinking it would be fun to pick a song that doesn't exactly "scream" LOST and the challange would be to vid to it.

Like, the theme song from the Fresh Prince of Bel Air? That song is actually longer than the one you hear on the TV show and I've got the full version . . .

Haha okay so that song is pretty rediculous, but you know what I mean. A song that doesn't exactly fit or wouldn't easily translate to a Lost video. Girls Just Wanna Have Fun? Like a Virgin? The Devil Went Down to Georgia? Dueling Banjos (from Deliverance)? I don't know!

[Ringwench]

That's a good idea, KC, I was thinking something along those lines to suggest too.

Just pick a song that you would never in a million years think would fit Lost and MAKE it fit This could be fun as I'm sure we all have at least one song that we LOVE (or just a song that's really weird) but just can't possibly figure out a way to vid properly.

Could make for some amusing vids.

Another suggestion (but not for the May contest, it would probably be better to do for the June contest) would be a season recap vid (I think this was also suggested in the "Lost: The Journey" thread. Because we really COULD recap Lost a lot better than that thing did!).

As for this month, I'm throwing my vote in for the Lost movie trailer.

[Cliodna]

I'm not really in favor of the movie trailer idea, just because it sounds like it would turn out to be a lot like the intro vids that we did last month. And what fun would that be?

ITA Clio.

[lostzilla]

Some of my ideas

- "The others" centric vid (would be kinda hard to do)
- Oceanic Airline Commercial (kinda similar to the April contest)
- Video with specific song (something like...Leaving on a jet plane)
- Video with only flashback footages
- "The Monster" centric vid
- Lost Finale promo vid

...etc., I just can't think of any good ones

what do you guys think?
