BOOM! Studios and Isotope Comics have come together to present a “create your own trailer” contest for the comic Left on Mission, which comes out later this month. Entries will be judged by a panel that includes Keefe Boerner, visual effects producer on Sin City, and Brad Blondheim, producer of the turntablist documentary Scratch.
The winner will receive a limited edition, signed and numbered hardcover copy of Left on Mission #1 along with signed copies of Left on Mission issues 1-5 when they are available. The winning trailer will be showcased on the Isotope and Left on Mission websites and will be used as part of the Left on Mission advertising campaign.
You can read the official rules here. Entrants will be given artwork, script and music to make their own trailer. The music theme is by Mike Griffen, former guitarist of Tsunami Bomb … which you can check out right here:

Might want to move that mp4 theme into a “more…” section after the main blog page. Took me a while to figure out why Blog@ was forcing a song out at me that was clashing with the streaming radio show I was listening to.

Ack! I was afraid of that … it’s been moved.
(It doesn’t automatically play on my machine, but I guess YMMV …)

Hmmm…the code has the autoplay=false…I wonder what the code is so it only loads when someone hits play…or maybe it’s in the compression of the actual file….anyone, anyone? Bueller?

It might have to do with my using Firefox, but I’m not sure.
Just checked…it didn’t autoplay for me now in IE, but that was, also, after my settings changed so that QuickTime wasn’t the default player anymore (or it became the default player again, because that sure looks like a QuickTime bit there). I used AdBlockPlus to block it in FF, so I can’t check it out again there.
Anyway…didn’t mean to hijack the blog about such a cool contest with plugin/browser tech-geek discussions.
Feel free to delete my two comments if you’d like, JK. My bad.
