MiSa Video Contest  
12 May 2008 @ 06:14 pm
Whether you're an expert video maker, a video newbie or just a fan who enjoys MiSa videos, this one is for you!

We're launching the STGD MiSa Video Contest: A one-month challenge in the search for the best new MiSa video!



For as long as there has been MiSa there have been MiSa fanvids, wonderful creations brought to out computer screens by the ever dedicated and talented MiSa/PB fans. So what we're doing this month is we're following this wonderful tradition and we're adding a little STGD fun to it :) While just making a video about Michael and Sara is rewarding enough, we've decided to add yet another incentive to the process: Prizes to 1st place and runner-up videos! Our budgets are low nonexistent yet we'd like to offer our winning video makers prizes that, regardless of their modest dollar value, have an unparalleled sentimental MiSa/SWC value to us. We're willing to part ways with these little items to offer them to those who bring us the best videos and all the emotions that come with them :)

The bases for this contest are simple:
  • Even if this is called the MiSa Video Contest, you may use any PB footage you want to make your video, we're not strictly limited to just MiSa clips. In fact, you may even use non PB-clips if you feel they add to the story you're trying to tell with your video. So yes,  short Tarzan clips of SWC are allowed as long as cute-mokey-boy Travis is not in the frame ;-) As long as the overall feel of the video suggests MiSa/Sara, it's all game.
  • For the background music please chose one of the songs from the list below (a selection from among your great suggestions from last week's post - you guys rock! :-))
  • The video must be unpublished, meaning the first time it will be made publicly available will be through this contest
  • To submit your video email [info]lauratnz. Remember, don't post it on YouTube or anywhere else before the contest!
The prizes are:
  1. For the winning video we have two prizes: a) The catalogue-style cover letter from the Paul Scheuring project. When we printed these for Paul and Sarah we printed an extra copy for ourselves, but it's yours if you're the maker of the winning video! b) Six Sara Tancredi postage stamps, also used in the Paul Scheuring project. (both pictured here)
  2. For the runner up: Four Sara Tancredi postage stamps.
  3. We may have more prizes to offer if we have a very high number of participants and/or if any kind souls out there are willing to part with a MiSa trinket of their own :)
ETA: All videos will be posted on the community (with credit and a link to the author's website/journal/channel) for the selection of the winners - more details on this soon. The winning videos will be posted on www.save-sara-tancredi.org in their own permanent section :)

The songs are:
The contest ends on Friday, June 27th. If you're participating let us know in the comments section below. Never made a fanvid before? No problem-o, we'll be editing this post very soon to include some video making tips! Good luck and may the games begin! :-D

What wonderful idea! It is both a gift and that selection of videos MISA.
I was willing to make a video MISA with the best moments of the couple most beautiful of Prison Break.

I think it's a great idea! :)

I can't make fanvid unfortunately, and I don't believe that I will be able to learn it once. *lol*

But I wait very much the others' videos quizzically.

The prizes are also great! :)

In behalf of this campaign, we'll soon have a mod post/fan post to commemorate all the hard work and to meet all the people behind this campaign.

Just something to laugh about. Watch, learn, and, and know how amazing all the Sara(h) fans and how extremely witty we all are ;)

I'm so nervous to broadcast myself on youtube but it has to be done LOL. It sure will be a moment I will never forget.

Hi to all video makers,

Is there a specific software you would recommend to make videos? Well more on cropping clips. I have windows movie maker but it seems like it won't save as an avi file (is this even the right term? LOL).

Anywayz, if you can share your preference that would be appreciated.

New FBI guy?
Some PB casting news, not entirely related to SWC though... Michael Rapaport joins the cast of Prison Break (a little more info here). I really like this guy, but I'm not sure I can picture him seriously as an FBI agent on PB...

I just want to share a little good news with you all.

It has nothing to do with the competition nor PB news and spoilers. But it has something to do with Sara.

I won Sara's top!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jodes won the sweater and Lindsay another top. I was inspired so I tried my luck. I bidded last week as well but I was outbidded by $5 in the last 3 seconds. But I did win a Haywire get away kit.

I tried my luck again this week and second time's the charm.

I can't believe it!!!

Anyway, I just wanted to share my good news to you guys.

Forgive me a little off topic here but there are a couple of new interesting (I suppose *smile*) informations about Sarah.
Well Firstly. According to one of the fans , Sarah has been seen together with Wentworth, Dominic and Amauro in New York!.
Of caurse this made me excited since If It's true We can expect the big picture of our favourits. I hope so at least *LoL*
Source
http://excommunicated.biz/forum/index.php?topic=13.msg3739#msg3739 Secondly Wentworth Miller gave an intersting interview for a French magazine. It's a rewarding part of this.

"While she was assumed dead, it's announced that Sara Tancredi will be back for next season.
- That's true and it's excellent news! SWC had wanted some time for herself for the birth of her baby. I can't wait to see her again!
-How are the scriptwriters going to explain that the head in the box was not Sara's?
I don't know any more than you do, but I'm eager to find out. The fact that Michael is re-united with Sara will give new dynamics to S4 and I'm very happy about it. Many fans were unhappy about Sarah's departure. They have been heard."

I love this "Many fans were unhappy about Sarah's departure. They have been heard" Well It's so true!!

Hi ladies and gents, is there anyone out there who is willing to make a short clip with SWC on it using the verse sang on (1:48) PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was jamming with the song when I was watching a comercial and they used it with regards to that. It reminded me of Sarah yet again :D

I know we are on the phase of making videos for this contest but if you have time in your hands to do a short "commercial" welcoming SWC back, please to do.

It's called "Welcome Back" by Mase (browse until you hit 1:48)



Ahhhh I'm babbling. There's a new spoiler of SWC. Go to Mel's blog and read all about it!!!

My heart was in danger of bursting when I saw this photo. I was a laughing/crying mess. Which is not good before you have to got to work.

Anyway I bring you the gorgeous mama, Sarah Wayne Callies.

MISA Video Contest
Just wondering if the STGD MISA Video Contest is finished? I am completely unable to create a video but was hoping that there were some good ones made. Were any made? Who won or has it not been decided? Are we able to view them anywhere or am I completely inept and it is all right in front of me?
