October 2006
Deadline: October 31st
Dead Lostaways
The Details
Last year’s October Contest was dedicated to the holiday of fear, shiver and goose bumps: Halloween!!
So it’s gonna be this year, with one little change:
Instead of asking you for a general, scary Lost vid, this year we want you to show us… *drum roll*… dead people!!! Yep, right: Dead People!
You can use each and every character who died on the show, no matter if they were major (Shannon, Boone, Ana-Lucia, Libby) or minor characters (Ethan, Goodwin, Jack’s father, Arzt…), no matter if they died on the island or in the flashbacks. Turn them into zombies, turn them into ghosts.... but, whatever you want to do with them: NO DRAMA VIDS PLEASE!!! We want to be scared, frightened and totally shocked; we want to wet our pants!!
Main criteria will be creepiness, originality and a good plot, but of course we will also be paying attention to the general editing and beat use. So, find a creepy song, grab your dead people clips and scare us to death! Mwahhhaaahaa!
The Rules
Specific Contest Rules:
-Videos must contain a good, creepy story about any *dead* Lost character.
-The more creative, the better. Don't be afraid to take risks.
-Running time should be around 3-5 minutes.
-When entering your video on the Submit page, you MUST enter "October 2006 contest submission" exactly for your vid's Description.
General Contest Rules:
-Contest submissions should be entered through the Submit page
-All regular submissions Rules apply.
-Only one entry per vidder
-Videos already submitted and RELEVANT can be submitted again, but we would rather see something fresh. (Please contact a CM if you wish to enter a previously-submitted video)
-Please do not use Megaupload, Rapidshare or Yousendit to host your files.
-Keep in mind that however you choose to host your video, it must be available for download at least until the end of the month. If we can not access your video at the time of judgment it will not be considered.
-Have fun! _________________

I'm we'll get some awesome entries. No time (and no ideas ) for entering myself, but Steph would certainly be a good candidate for this contest. _________________

lol this is a funny competition. I might enter this one as its different and lets us be creative. I always say im gonna enter but never actually do. lol. Thought of a song already but no doubt many people will use this so maybe not. got a back up though but kind of cheesy and corny lol.
great idea by the way _________________

Cheesy and corny is fine as long as the vid's still creepy.
Yep, the idea is great... thanks, Paul!!!
I still remember that vid (can't remember the name of the vid tho ) with Claire being a creepy, but kinda cute zombie. That was awesome!! _________________

I immediately thought of that vid with this contest, too! It was "Night of the Living Dead Girl" by LovingJamesF87! That was so cool! |

Okay, I'm gonna try this (please,nobody rip off my idea)*bats eyes sweetly*
I'm going to take one of the dead people, not sure who yet, have them come back as a vampire who is after the island folk. It's gonna take some major manips but I think I can do it.
Now, to figure out who... |

Sorry, I couldn't resist. This would be funny rather than creepy, I guess. _________________
