VM promo contest

Aug 14, 2006 20:00

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 ( Read more... )

promos, contest, vids

I made one: Life on Mars. Unfortunately, it's a tiny bit longer than 90 seconds. And I used only screencaps, mainly from the first episode.

Yay! Added to our site. (I love that that is the frame it is frozen on!)

alliterator August 18 2006, 04:01:15 UTC

Excellent. I have one for the sixty second one as well, this one using actual clips instead of screencaps. Unfortunately, YouTube is being ornery and says it's still "processing."

Ah, here we go! C-Jam Blues by Duke Ellington. Forty-nine seconds! Bam!

90s promo entry raelee August 28 2006, 19:47:44 UTC

This time with a working link... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MiXN8w1HU8

I'm sorry honey, but it isn't working for me. I get: "The video you have requested is not available. If you have recently uploaded this video, you may need to wait a few minutes for the video to process."

But if the link works for you, it will probably work for me soon.

Re: 90s promo entry raelee August 28 2006, 20:43:37 UTC

Actually, it wasn't working for me either. Just kept saying it was uploading/processing it but it was taking way too long for it to have actually been doing that.

I've re-uploaded and this time it does appear to be working. Third time is a charm, eh?

Dear Rae,

I worship you. This is exactly what I wanted.

One crit, because I care:

Because of the size ofthe font and the length of time on the screen, I can not read the first two critic quotes. If this is a trick to get people to watch it more than once, great. If it isn't, I think you could cut two clips to to buy yourself the time to need to have them hang on the screen longer.

Maybe clip the Corny's line after her name? Maybe cut the college squeeing clip? (As much as I love it.) Cut the vespa scooter line and I will be mad.

Also, your final clip blows the WB's clip out of the water. Very exciting at the end there. I loved it.

I am putting it on the site now, but if you do update, just send me the new link. (As Rob would say, "REALLY incredible!")

Here's my 90 second promo! I don't think it's possible for me to make a 60 second one, 90 seconds was hard enough!

They're kind of addicting to make.

I'm not sure if it's just YouTube being weird or what, but sometimes the link works and sometimes it says: The video you have requested is not available. If you have recently uploaded this video, you may need to wait a few minutes for the video to process.

Let me know if you're having trouble with it as well, and I'll see if re-uploading it will do any good.

The Darker Side of Mars anonymous August 29 2006, 08:40:21 UTC

Here's another 90-second promo that has a bit of a darker theme.
