VM promo contest

[spadada]

By now, you've seen the fabulous Comic-Con promo that has wowed fans far and wide with its ability to fully encapsulate what we find awesome about Veronica Mars. It's the sort of thing you want to make everyone you know watch to get them hooked, the sort of thing that you wish they would actually air on television

So... do entries need to be under 60? under 90? Are there different categories for different lenghts?

[spadada]

Different categories. But we would like people to shoot for under 60.

Do you have to be a member of cloud_watchers to enter as well? I'm asuming so, but I just wanted to be sure.

[spadada]

No, because you can post your vid in the comments without being a member. But you will need to be a member to vote.

This sounds interesting. But 60 seconds? That will be hard, but I'll give it a try!! =]

[spadada]

Try 90 first. And YAY!

[elektra_1000cia]

I'll try both =]

I have one question: the video has to be the "fun" kind or can I make a vid with a darker theme?

[spadada]

All we ask is "representative." Dark is VM too. And not everyone is a tweenie bopper. Maybe your vid will be the vid that hooks the Twik Peaks fans :D

[zimshan]

Nice idea! I had been thinking of taking a stab at this before, but awesome to get everyone involved.

Your video is now up on our site:

Okay, I don't have a YouTube account, so...

Oh, it's for the 90 second category, btw. Warming up for an under 60 attempt. Eeep.

So I can't leave you comments on You Tube because I am the one who uploaded the video, LOL. But I still love this vid so much even after all the others have been submitted. I do have a few pieces of crit though (I probabably should have made them a long time ago, but I wasn't sure if it was kosher.)

Anyway, I love the two parts, but I find the transitions jarring. Maybe it would not feel that way if the second song was not so loud. Second, I think you should write "author Sarah Dessen" or "young adult fiction author Sarah Dessen" because I don't think many people know who she is. Finally, Troy's line is impossible to make out. I don't know if it is Aaron's delivery or the audio, but I have no idea what he says there.

Final crit, and this is for everyone, a lot of my non-VM friends did not get that she was a detective. (I know, you'd think the Phillip Marlowe quote would be enough!) So if there was a way to make it clearer, that would be awesome.

Final praise, god that last line is good random fun!

(transition - singular.)
