Summary: General Supernatural Promo. Contest Entry for "Making the Cut" sponsored by Promax/BDA. Selected as a top 9 contender. I had two entries, they were exactly the same save for the titles I edited. I have no idea which one of these was in the top nine since I was unable to attend the conference due to classes. Congrats to the winner, whoever they are!

OMG!
I love it more and more every damn time I watch it.
So me and your mother-in-law compared the two, I showed her yours again, and then I showed her the one from the link you gave me earlier today, the one that supposedly won.
And mom was pissed! LOL
She's like "are you kidding me?! I can't believe that, you tell KC her's should've won!"

So..there ya go, you have mine and mom's approval! :)
Seriously though, this promo kicks so much ass. Its upbeat and exciting and the voice overs are awesome.
Plus
"Winchester & Winchester"
COME ON!

Haha, Dayl you are my biggest fan and I love you with all of my heart. Tell your mom I said thank you!

LOL@Are you kidding me? Seriously though, they're both very different stylistically so it's rather hard to compare them.

Anyway, this thing has been sitting on my computer for MONTHS waiting to collect eyes instead of dust. It's finally good to show it off, no matter the context.

OMG!!! This is just...I have no words. You are amazing!!! You make some of the best vids I have seen and this promo is...still don't have word. This should have won!! But I guess like you said before on another post that people were going to see this and who know they might want to hire you or something. At least those people will know your name and how freaking talented you are. I have to admit that I will watch this over and over XD. Do you know who won? because this should have won. Did I mentioned that I love this?? Well I do.

[identity profile] crickets.livejournal.com 2007-06-16 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
Aw, Adlin! Than you so much. *blush*

I believe they talk about the winning entry over here:
http://community.livejournal.com/supernatural_tv/1064639.html

I was skeptical at first because they JUST announced the winner yesterday afternoon and this promo aired last night during the show. But when I looked at it it was clearly drawn from all of the same footage that I was given to use and definitely had that "fan video" feel to it. So yeah, I'm pretty sure that's the winner!

First off:

*jaw drops*

That was awesome. The beat use, and the voice over and it was all just SO well put together. I saw the one that supposedly won and those judges were obviously idiots because yours should have definitly won.

Oh wow. That was great. I loved the echoing and the voice clips you used. That was excellent and I loved it.

[identity profile] crickets.livejournal.com 2007-06-16 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you so much! ♥! I'm glad you liked!

[identity profile] motorwill.livejournal.com 2007-06-16 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, I'll tell you right now that yours should have won. The timing with the voiceovers and the images look completely professionally done. I think the only thing that gave away the fact that it was fanmade was the "Sam/Dean/Winchester" labeling. I guess the judges made their pick based on what looked least fanmade, because they were going to air it.

Even though they aired the winning vid, they should have given you the internship because you totally captured all the snarky/bittersweet/scary/action facets of SPN, and that echoing ending was AWESOME. Fantastic work!

[identity profile] crickets.livejournal.com 2007-06-16 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
Ah! Creepy icon! Hehe. Thank you so much. I actually submitted two versions of the same promos, one without the titles, and one with them. You were allowed to submit multiple entries. (Of course, I didn't know this until like, the day before I had to mail the promo in order for it to get in time. So it was just long enough to stick both titled and non-titled promos on the DVD I sent in haha. I wish I had known sooner. I would have gone crazy making all kinds of promos!

I actually hate the titles more and more each time I watch it. I was SO proud of those to begin with.

And thank you so much for saying all of that. Really makes a girl feel good!

Ohhhh my goodness. First, let me pick my jaw up off the floor.

Okay, so you didn't win why? I watched the 'winner' and well...

This was abso-freakin-lutely amazing. This is the promo, as far as I am concerned!

[identity profile] crickets.livejournal.com 2007-06-16 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
Haha! I'm glad you people seem to have re-attachable jaws! ;)

Thank you so freaking much! Heheh. Sweet of you to say! I'm proud of it! :D

[identity profile] laivine.livejournal.com 2007-06-16 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
Wow. I thought the one that won was good...but I MUCH prefer yours.

The slick cutting, the synching sound and action, the theme, the way you really promoted what the show was and actually is all about...I wish they'd show yours on-air as well!

[identity profile] crickets.livejournal.com 2007-06-16 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks for saying so!

I wish they would too! :D

[identity profile] muses-circle.livejournal.com 2007-06-16 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
Holy crap!!!!!! *coughs*

Your timing is flawless. FLAWLESS. And personally, I prefer b&w... but your timing is the best I've ever seen! THANK YOU, thank you for posting this!

Hey! Great to see another finalist (getting ready to post mine too)! I liked yours a lot better than the winner, which I think won due to the poem and ease of airing (no music licensing). I would have thought the "editing" was more important than a voiceover. Ah well... Your editing was top-notch and loved the film noir look! Thanks for posting!

[identity profile] crickets.livejournal.com 2007-06-16 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
Were you at the conference? I wanted to go so badly but due to summer classes I wasn't able to go. It would have been nice to go and get some contacts at least! And BILL CLINTON was at the conference. Haha. He's my favorite (living) president. Haha.

So yeah um, what was I saying? I lost myself at Bill Clinton.

I can't wait to see your entry!

I agree I think the other contestant won because of the poem. Actually, all of my music and sound effects were from the music-box (?) account they allowed us to use. The poem video had music in it as well. It's very mellow and quiet though.

VERY GOOD!! It had a great speed and music.
The thing is that i notice that most of the fanvid promos don't show the boys equally, you know what i mean.

[identity profile] crickets.livejournal.com 2007-06-16 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
Haha, thanks! I"m assuming you mean to say mine shoes them equally, right? Hehe.

Buh.

I don't even watch Supernatural (though I've stolen S1 off a friend which I need to watch), and I'm amazed by the video and now want to watch it ;_;

I haven't seen the others, but this was amazing. It should have won. Or been aired. I'd watch the show after seeing this promo.

[identity profile] crickets.livejournal.com 2007-06-16 05:37 am (UTC)(link)

Ew, KC, that winning entry was HORRIBLE! If they'd submitted at SVS I wouldn't have given it an award at ALL >.< I can't believe THAT'S what beat your vid out... that makes me mad for you, dude, your vid was awesome! I really liked the b&w too; I saw someone mentioned the film noir look to it. I'm sorry you didn't win, but at least know your vid rocked hardcore. Maybe they'll keep the other finalist entries on deck for other promos *shrug* You never know...

PS---Bobby's seen the winner and he's pissed.

[identity profile] crickets.livejournal.com 2007-06-16 05:53 am (UTC)(link)

[identity profile] crickets.livejournal.com 2007-06-16 12:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks so much!

I wish I could say that the B&W was some stroke of genius, but the video quality wasn't as good as it could have been, the media package they sent the contestants I mean, and so the black and white hid some of that. Given the tone of the video I may have done b&w anyway, but at the moment it was all about making it look better.

Oh wow, I am blown away. I so easily could see this as the winner. The combination of voiceover and music is flawless and if I weren't already on board with the show, this would make me watch it.

Thanks for providing a download link. I've saved it to my fave vids folder so I can study and enjoy it. :D

Damn. That is freaking gorgeous. Beautiful black & white, perfectly crisp editing, fantastic sound -- great voiceovers, sound effects, and choice of clips. I loved the ending and the use of the demon!Tessa, especially; they were both really effective. You managed to evoke an atmosphere both intensely creepy and actively dangerous, which I think is harder to do than it might seem at first. Absolutely amazing promo.

[identity profile] crickets.livejournal.com 2007-06-16 12:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh well thank you honey! I was really happy with it. The only thing I was really unsure about was the titles, which is why I submitted a second entry without titles. I'm glad I captured the spirit of the show. That was the whole idea!

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/_sharvie_/ 2007-06-16 09:09 am (UTC)(link)
Da-yam! That was cool! Loved the titles and your use of audio was killer! Really, really amazing.

Firstly, congrats on getting to the final 9. That's such a huge deal!

After viewing a lot of the entries yours is by far my favourite! You really caught the essence of the show. It would definitely have pulled me in if I wasn't already watching it. Though I must admit I did like the creepy poem of the winning entry.

Re: Fantastic.

[identity profile] crickets.livejournal.com 2007-06-16 12:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh wow, Charmax! That means a whole hell of a lot coming from you! I tried to include as much creepy/funny/badassery moments as I could, and I also managed to include a little angst there in the middle. So I think I touched on all things. And thank you for saying you thought I captured that. LIke I said it means a lot. I remember you from back in the day at LVI! Think I saw your work up for grabs at sweet charity as well!

That creepy poem was awesome!

[identity profile] crickets.livejournal.com 2007-06-16 12:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, but it's nice to hear. The one that won was super creepy though. They did an excellent job with the poem. Thanks for commenting and letting me know where you found your way here! That's always nice to know!

Oh man, you are talented. Great music selection, great use of the clips, amazing. Not so sure about the Sam and Dean titles, but y'know, I think they work well. Great timing, just. You're amazing! I wanted to enter in this with some of my animation added into it, but being abroad with no access to workspace made that tough. Go you! I hope you continue in the editing/sound editing field!

[identity profile] crickets.livejournal.com 2007-06-16 01:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe next time. Who knows what sort of contest they'll be doing next year. I wasn't sure about the titles myself, and now I can barely stand to look at them, which is one reason I submitted my second entry without the titles. Honestly, if I hadn't found out last minute we could have more than one entry, I probably would have only submitted the one without titles, I was that unsure about them.

I've definitely got some stuff to think about after this! Thank you!

[identity profile] lovetheguys.livejournal.com 2007-06-16 10:56 am (UTC)(link)
