It's no fun if it's stressful, so no worries! Stay safe with the traveling and hope to hear from you. Your Serenity trailer is on the ballot!

Houdini,
I was linked to your vid by Whedonesque... and I absolutely loved it! It made me get goosebumps.. and I wanted to see that awesome movie that I got flashes of on my screen!
'Course, I have seen the movie... but I wish the trailers had done this to me!
I hope you will have the time to make an episode trailer, I know I would certainly look forward to that!

Hera, any chance there's a site with links to all the entries? I'm doing searches on YouTube, and I'm not sure I'm finding everything.

Hey DN101, just so's you know, I will post the official entries with names and links closer to the deadline, to make sure nothing has fallen through the cracks.
I just compiled this list this evening, so you're in luck. Here's what I have to date, no particular order whatsoever:
=
23, by my count, awaiting 6 more (one placeholder of which is yours, DN101, pending how many you do).
Hope this helps!

Okay. Just got done watching all those.
This will sound arrogant as all hell. (Sorry if I offend anyone.)
I can outdo all those. And I will. Using only music from the series and BDM. (Okay, I like a challenge.)
The point of this contest is to create videos that pique the curiosity of a non-browncoat, correct? So something that's exciting, interesting, and doesn't just tell the story of the ep in a nutshell, correct?
This is gonna be fun.
(And if you are offended, top me. Challenge induces creativity.)

Yes. Yes. And yes. Also, for the record, don't do a book report by outlining the book. Don't do a movie review by describing what happens in the movie. Don't tell the whole story in the teaser trailer.

And creativity induces more creativity. It's like a happy plague. Er. Well, you get my meaning.

I'm not offended at all, thing is though you discredit the work that someone has done. Alot of the people that have entered the contest are doing it for the love of the show. They have put thier time and effort into it. Wether I think someone's work is not as good as mine doesn't mean that I am going to say it. Yeah the whole point of the contest is to get people who have never seen the show to be interested. Of course thing is, when you do seperate episodes to do that, it's hard to be unbiased when you know the universe. My meaning is, is that when you know how things have turned out, it's hard to get everything of the mythology, because that's what turns people on to the show. For me, Fox made the worst promos for the show, the only reason I watched two of the episodes when it ran was because of Whedon. When I got the dvd and found out the show wasn't ran in order or the depth to the characters, that's when I really began to enjoy it, even enough to buy the comic series.
You are right though, challenge does bring out creativity but everyone is a critic, so just don't discredit what people are trying to do for the show.
Just my two cents.

I agree with the point you're making, SS71. Aside from creating trailers we could use to promote the show, we wanted this contest to get folks into vidding who'd never done it before. So, these new vidder's work may not be as polished as a professional's, but they're learning a new skill, and having fun at the same time. And they're doing it for love of the show.
I would hate to run off beginners. That ain't the spirit of the thing at all, to my way of thinking. Just something to keep in mind.
