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!
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.
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...
Oh this is a cool idea, I can't wait to see all the crazy/scary/dumb/cool submissions, and just in time for 420 haha. Wonder if they'll put the winner in the next movie!
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?
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!!
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 :)
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".
This so cool!! I'm gonna enter y'all :D
ReplyDeleteThe DVD commercial is great too!!
See... it was only the beginning ;-)

I think what u do is download the clips and audio they give you and rearrange it to make your own DVD commercial
ReplyDeleteI have my own video posted on the contest site. I also have it on youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpMG30Le2Ko
ReplyDeleteNice one skitch1944 :D
ReplyDeleteCan't see any clips on the whencloverfieldhit site yet... or am I blind?
I'm very curious about other attempts:D
your not blind, you cant watch the videos until the week of voting
ReplyDeleteYeah of course! Sorry... thanks ;-)
ReplyDeleteI might have to take my Youtube version off. I'll have to check the rules.

Sorry about the double post!
ReplyDeleteHmm... maybe I know some Americans who are willing to send my video in :)
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?
ReplyDeleteI see only three videos on the whencloverfieldhit website.
