Raise your hand if you like giveaways! And parodies. And clever fan videos. (And Kim Joon and Kim Bum.)
In response to all those Boys Before Flowers parody videos, reader saharial volunteered to put up an OST prize for our own contest for best fan-made parody video.
I thought that sounded like a lot of fun, so I’m matching her offer and putting up another OST prize. Why let Korean netizens have all the fun with their Simpsons spoofs and fake “Requiem” movie trailers?
The top two entries will win a free CD of the soundtrack.
First place will win an additional drama poster. (The OST comes with 7 photo cards and a red F4 card. The poster looks like this.)
RULES
In making your parody video:
- All clips must be from Boys Before Flowers.
- You may use any music you wish except from the drama OST.
(Sorry — if I hear almost paaaaaaradiiiiise any more than I must, I may have to hurt something.) - Submissions must be no more than 4 minutes long.
Multiple submissions okay.
JUDGING CRITERIA
Three judges — saharial, Sevenses, and myself — will determine the winner based on the following.
Each category is worth up to 10 points:
- Suitability and choice of music
- Suitability of clips used
- Overall impression
- Originality
- Editing skills
DEADLINE
Send submissions to info@dramabeans.com by Friday, February 20, at 9 p.m. PST.
(That’s midnight EST. Or, Saturday at 5 a.m. in London; or 1 p.m. in Manila; or 2 p.m. in Seoul; or 4 p.m. in Sydney — and you get the point.)
Winners will be announced the following Monday, February 23.
Happy spoofing, everyone!

hi javabeans…i really like how you break down the story of each episode..even after watching it with sub title i still read your summary coz i like how you explain everything w/c makes everything seems sweeter..heheh thanks…hope you’ll continue doing agood job…
for some reason, “(Sorry — if I hear almost paaaaaaradiiiiise any more than I must, I may have to hurt something.)” pretty much made my day. hahahahahaha. super lolz.
exciting!
i’ve seen a Rent trailer parody using BBF clips. that one is really good. :]
and you get to hear jun pyo speak English. hehe
good luck to all those entering!
sorry this is really out of place but i love the banner with dalja, hongildong and choonhyang
won’t make one, but will be happy to be a good cheerleader
agreed, if i hear almost paaaaaradiiiise again too, I’ll do the same and hurt someone xD They need to get some more OSTs!
I like the OSTs but they need some to fit like action scenes? I guess. Anyways, I want to join, but i can’t edit videos at all xDD
omg that sounds so exciting! will definitely be cheering from the sidelines! it’s too bad i’m not good at things like this.. *really wants F4 red card* XD
Great Idea!! I’m looking forward to seeing all the entries. This sounds like alot of fun. Too bad I won’t be entering since I’m slammed with school right now. Maybe next time.
How do you…edit? — I’m sorry if I sound like a fool, but I am a fool with this editing thingy. Any sites I can go to learn quick?
Now, does anyone actually want the soundtrack…. j/k.
Although I won’t be participating, due to lack of skills, I
do look forward to the videos. Good luck to all that participate!
tlina069: The easier program to use is probably windows movie maker. Try looking at this site for help. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/moviemaker/default.mspx

Thanks for the tip, JiHwan!
HAHA. That F4 red card would be great memorabilia.
tlina069, Windows Movie Maker is free, but it has a lot of problems. I used it to make my video, and it was really frustrating and I almost gave up. But there’s a guy on youtube that helps people with it. I don’t think i could have done it without him. So if you guys are using movie maker and are having trouble(I almost guarantee you will run into some trouble), here’s his channel. http://www.youtube.com/user/BetaFlux
Look at all of his videos, and if that doesn’t help, just friend him, and send him a message. He always replies back and does what he can to help. Good luck guys!!
cool.. best of luck to all spoof-ers. i’m looking forward to the videos too
oooh javabeans, will you post up a link that shows all the submissions?? and not just the grand prize, 2nd, 3rd and honorable mentions?
and good luck!! i can’t wait to watch these! (i’m so video editing/splicing/whatever tech. genius-ppl-do-these-days illiterate.)
Hmmm Javabeans… Almost Paradise is absolutely banned?? Even THIS version:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yc40EasXz18 (Almost Paradise by Mike Reno)
Good luck to everyone entering – can’t wait to see the videos!

I WANT *SPAZZ*
seriously. when i heard the instrumental version of almost paah-raaaa-diiiiise i laughed so hard. but credits to woo bin. i thought he had a shining moment there. hahaha, attack!!!!
about the parody video… like most people who made comments, i too don’t know the first thing about making a video- can’t even edit a picture if my life (or my grades. ehehe) depended on it.
so go boybeforeflowers anonymous peeps! is it just me or does anybody feel like they’re attending an AA or any secret meeting when reading or participating in anything and everything BBF. Hi my name is… and i’m a boys before flowers-holic

Steff, you can email me your youtube link. Or send me the video (via megaupload, yousendit, sendspace, etc). Or whatever works best. Thanks!
I’m an editor in my school but I’m kinda busy editing for my own videos now. Sorry xD ..

Thanks to dunlop @ 15 ! I learn how to edit video by Windows Movie Maker now. But I’m not good enough to join this contest though ( and I put a word ‘paradise’ in the clip, Javabeans may piss me off, ha ha! Just kidding!)
