Very cool fan-made video about the alternate timeline theory

Have you seen this video “Second Chances” by Sl-LOST, part of their In preparation for LOST Season 6 series?

I love it. It gave me chills.

It starts off with footage from LOST, with a few scenes mixed in of the dancers from the wonderful British Season 1 promo directed by David LaChapelle.

Then, about half-way through this video, something very interesting happens. That’s the part that gave me chills. I won’t give it away. See for yourself:

The Spanish station Cuatro, which ran the hauntingly beautiful chess-themed LOST Season 6 promo, announced a contest earlier today based on that promo.

Here’s my translation of what Cuatro posted on its site, done with my semi-remembered high school/college Spanish, with a lot of help from Google Translate. It may not be 100% accurate, but I think it’s close enough:

Carlton Cuse, the creator and writer of LOST, just sent a Twitter message saying that the promo Cuatro made for the final season of the series is the best LOST promo he has seen.

We propose a game based on the promo. The original text was not written by Cuatro. Can you tell us who the author is and what work it is from? Answer the question here, and get a photo signed by the stars of the series. The first person with the correct answer will get the prize.

To participate in the contest, you must be registered on the Cuatro site with your full name, address, phone, and email.

At the time I saw this post on the Cuatro site, there were already 11 pages of answers! It’s too late to win, but if you are playing along at home, the answer is below:

Life is a Chessboard — a Season 6 promo from Spain

Posted on November 29, 2009 | 1 comment

Proving once again that other country’s LOST promos are much cooler than our own, this promo from Spain presents the LOST characters as pieces on a chessboard, while a narrator recites this poem:

The wise man said
Life is a chessboard
of nights and days
where men are pawns of God
moved here and there
God allows them to kill
and kills
and piece by piece
he puts them back in the box
because there’s a destiny for every piece
for every player
and for God

Sl-LOST posted the video, translated the narration, and added the subtitles. Via TVOvermind.

Update 11/30/09: Post added with info about the author and source of the chessboard poem.

Update 2/20/10: The original promo has been pulled from YouTube, but there are two versions in English that are available, at least for now.

I’ve also posted a video showing how the promo was made.

Fantastic promo video for Season 1 from the UK

I’ve never seen any LOST promo in the States as creative as this one, which has the Flight 815 survivors dancing in slow motion on the beach, with odd expressions, decked out in dressy, but tattered, outfits. It’s surreal, like a dream sequence. At the same time it manages to suggest many of the relationships that were then yet to unfold in Season 1:

And here’s a version with some spooky narration:

Official Season 6 promo poster — enormous blow-up

That’s just one detail of a small area of the poster. See the whole poster on TVOvermind: monster-sized blow-up of LOST promo poster.

It looks as if everyone who has ever been a major cast member is on there, with one notable exception. (Hint: Name starts with W and ends with T.)

The biggest mystery is why is Locke facing away from us when everyone else is facing forward?

LOST Season 6 Promo

Posted on October 29, 2009 | 1 comment

They showed this little 15-second promo for LOST tonight during FlashForward. It’s got clips from previous seasons, but nothing from Season 6 itself. Apparently, ABC isn’t going to be revealing anything from the new season until it actually starts, the better to keep us in suspense.
