    So it turns out the Others are keeping surveillance on the Losties per the episode ?. What if it went further than just on the island? A video set to the classic Elvis Costello song that is haunted by dictatorships and genocide.

     Pills and Soap is alive again! It is not the best quality, but it's what I have left from years ago, so if anyone is interested in seeing it:

    Here it is.

     Hee. Thanks, tacoshack, LF4815, and deserted (will not dignify your comment on Me Myself I, though, deserted. ) And yeah, the lyrics are topical. Then again, stuff like Oliver's Army is also - sadly - lyrically topical today. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

    I didn't particularly intend any humor in the vid, so must ask: Where the heck was it funny?

     Great concept for this video. Despite the very dark lyrics and idea behind this video there were also moments of humor. Very nicely done.

    Also, this verse of the song really jumped out at me, not only in relation to the show but also to the current political climate.
    The sugar-coated pill is getting bitterer still.
    You think your country needs you, but you know it never will.
    So pack up your troubles in a stolen handbag.
    Don't dilly-dally, boys; rally 'round the flag.
    Give us our daily bread in individual slices,
    And something in the daily rag to cancel any crisis.

     That was really cool - I liked when you had the camera eye thing watching everyone - it made it seem like the others were watching them in The Pearl Station.

     Nice job with everything in the video. The camera overlay effect worked well with the video. Strangely enough the song was pretty appropriate for the video. Good work all around.

     Thanks again, addboy. And thanks for noticing the lyrics/clips link as well. Granted, the verses' lyrics pretty much demand certain shots, but hey.

     This was a pretty cool video. I liked it, Great job. Matching the lyrics with clips, and the effects!

     Thanks for the comments, all! Once more, the effects aren't my doing.

    The camera is 'BFX Sniper Camera 2' and the melting effect (totally not blood! heh) is indeed 'Blood Drip Transition'. So despite my protests of the melting totally not being blood, it appears Kaja was right, unfortunately.

    And 'Pills and Soap' is an excellent song for creepiness.

     Very creepy! The song you used was very cool (and oddly, appropriate, as well). I liked the camera effect which added to the spookiness of the vid. Nice work.

     Cool vid, tfc. I loved that whole camera thing, and it's a thing that I think all of us have thought about, that they've been watched throughout their whole lives. And I also really liked the bit with Henry popping up in the end credits.
