# "Part 1 - The Montage" 2005-02-02
Hobbes shows you what NOT to do in this educational video.
# Song: Montage by Team America: World Police OST
Vidder: Warren (Hobbes)
Length: 2:19 (8.6MB WMV)
This video is PURELY for helping vidders improve. It may be harsh, and offend some people, but it's what they call "tough love" Without bringing yourself up to the levels described in this video, you will have a tough time in the vidding world, with so many incredibly talented people here

# "Sympathy" 2005-01-31
A look at the ever-evolving relationship of Jack and Kate.
# Song: Sympathy by Goo Goo Dolls
Vidder: M Conner
Length: 2:53 (7MB WMV)
In theory, I'm supposed to hate this. I am, afterall, never a fan of montages, and there is goes, saying it right on the front "montage". Yet I did not hate this. In fact, by some miracle I actually thouroughly enjoyed it.
I think the reasons this was so good were:
A) you clipped everything to the right timing of the song
B) every clip you captured in the video wasn't a meaningless moment of Jack and Kate, it was those looks, those deep looks they give each other that really just makes it beautiful
C) none of those clips were just of the two talking, they were MEANINGFUL looks at each other.
D) You made "Dare you to move", which was so awesome I had to e-mail you to beg you to make more for the site.
If there's ever a team-battle video-making contest, I hope I get first pick in the draft pick, cuz I'm picking YOU on my team.

# "Ever Fallen in Love" 2005-02-02
A Sawyer/Sayid vid that shows that even though they are rivals, they respect each other.
# Song: Ever Fallen in Love by Pete Yorn
Vidder: Emiloy
Length: 2:44 (7.3MB DIVX AVI)
That's a kooky title of the song for a Sawyer/Sayid video LOL! I must say, THANK YOU for thinking up some different topic to do other than a fluff showing of some couple. But also that being said, I think this one needs a little more feeling to it. It looks like those are just random clips of Sawyer and Sayid to me

# "Skaterboy" 2005-02-01
Hobbes proves that a Charlie Claire video doesn't have to be slow OR boring!
# Song: Sk8er Boi by Avril Lavigne (WHY IS IT SPELLED SK8ER BOI!?!?! THAT'S JUST RETARDED!!!)
Vidder: Warren (Hobbes)
Length: 3:26 (9.4 WMV)
I did this video, like I said, as a dare to myself. We have a little joke going on back in the council lounge (well... a joke that I started! but they laughed at least ) about how Charlie/Claire videos are complete and utter "fluff" (we get a lot more videos that we judge than those allready up on the site. The ones still on here are pretty good! ) It's like every sappy video maker is drawn to making Charlie/Claire snorefests... forgive me if whoever is reading this is one of those people but it really appears to be true...
We wondered whether it was the material that made them hard to do well, or if it was just the people. So I took the risk, on a whim, picked the best stupid song I could (Avril songs may be lame, but they have a beat LOL) and began the "incredible journey" !
Now that it's done... it's probably one of my favourite videos despite Avril, Charlie, and Claire! I love it ^^
Yes, I know. "LMAO Locke!!!" That made ME laugh for hours!

# "Oblivion" 2005-02-02
A very well put together vid with a good mix of characters.
# Song: Oblivion by 30 Seconds to Mars
Vidder: Emiloy
Length: 3:40 (9.8MB DIVX AVI)
Ahhhhh... I really enjoyed this one. The running scene at the beginnign was SUPERB!! Very original, and a great way to clip it. The only thing is I don't know why you lingered on some of the clips longer than the beat did, like Kate's clip which spanned two verses, and Charlies that went just over 1, right at the beginning, but whatever, I'm just a little too picky on that ! Great job on this one!
Without bringing yourself up to the levels described in this video, you will have a tough time in the vidding world, with so many incredibly talented people here 
but it really appears to be true...
