When Cloverfield Hit DVD Contest



There is a new Cloverfield Video contest, titled When Cloverfield Hit, with the following theme "Where were you when the monster hit?". The grand prize winner will be selected by Matt Reeves from the top 3 user-voted videos, and the winner gets $4500 and a Paramount DVD prize pack.

There are some music and monster roar clips on the site that can be used in you video, but no other music can be used. See the official rules for full details. Good luck!

UPDATE: Eagle eye viewers have noticed a hidden Dharma logo in the video above. Nice work people!

* Thanks to Luis, Terry, and Chris F. for emailing me about this!

  2. OK, probably not first, BUT, I have an Astonishing Discovery!!! Which I think I'm first to see, Dennis if you update the post with this be sure to mention me somehow-

    Pause the video just as the monster's foot connects with the tank. Poof! Notice anything? The Dharma Initiative Logo from Lost!!! It pops up only a frame or two so be ready with the pause button, it appears in the lower right-hand corner.

  3. Sorry for two posts in a short period of time, but I noticed Hud says "Did you guys just see that?" right after the Logo pops up. I guess he didn't mean the monster...

  7. I kinda don't get what they want here.

    I mean do they want a video like the teaser trailer?

    There's so many options.. I have no idea what to do.

  10. I think the limit is 5 minutes or 100MB.

    It's gonna be a lot of fun making and watching other videos from The Cloverfield Day.

    It doesn't necessarily have to be NYC right ;-)

    The Dharma Initiative Logo... again...? Man, how weird. How weird to also put in a DVD Trailer. I mean... to put it in the film is a nice easter egg, but to put one in a DVD Trailer. Could it be that Lost and Cloverfield after all ARE somehow connected? I still like to believe they are not, but... this is strange.

    The logo was not in the film right? I mean in the original 'monster stands on tank' scene?

  11. Im a little bit confused myself on what they want here. When the monster hit, I was in the theatre watching it! What are some ideas? We can all brainstorm together!!

  12. thanks alot guys,
    i thought it had to be a half hour long epic, you just saved me alot of work
    btw Jochem3121, i like your idea

    basicly what they want is a 5minuet mini cloverfield home vid

    so just walk out side at night with a camera play the sound effect and run away, done. now for the other 4min 30 seconds is up to you

  13. Why its always the pearl station logo ? ... really weird =_=
    i have taken this paragraph from Lostpedia :

    "The purpose of the Pearl seems to be to study psychology. However it is presumed the work the Pearl staff was conducting was in fact useless, the notebooks they were asked to fill ending up at a dump. There was also a hidden camera present in the Pearl, indicating they, and not the Swan residents, were the subject of the experiment."

    I think JJ is experimenting with us, and at the end all of our achievements could be worthy for the dump :)

  14. I think what u do is download the clips and audio they give you and rearrange it to make your own DVD commercial

    ReplyDelete
  15. I have my own video posted on the contest site. I also have it on youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpMG30Le2Ko

  16. Nice one skitch1944 :D
    Can't see any clips on the whencloverfieldhit site yet... or am I blind?

    I'm very curious about other attempts:D

    ReplyDelete
  17. your not blind, you cant watch the videos until the week of voting

    ReplyDelete
  18. Yeah of course! Sorry... thanks ;-)

  19. I might have to take my Youtube version off. I'll have to check the rules.

    ReplyDelete
  20. I took my Youtube version off and actually improved my video a bit with sound and tried to improve the look of the fire, but I am not having the easiest time with my graphics program. If anyone wants to watch when it is shown on the site on the 22nd, it's listed as "The Attack".

  24. I'll put it up if need be, but are you not able to to say you're from the U.S. and have everything else about you be true?
