FanTrust Presents: "I Know What TV Did This Summer"
Ahh, summer. A time of vacations, beaches, watermelon, fireworks, and ... reruns. While we languish through a long, dry summer in TV-land, our characters are off doing, well, what exactly? When we reconnect with them for the season premiere, everyone on TV is looking a bit better, starting another school year and wearing scarves while romping through the foliage – just like us. Which leaves us with only one big question – what the %&*! did these characters do all summer??
Is Blair's plane really heading to Tuscany, or is she discretely jetting off for a visit to Brazil's best rhinoplastic surgeon (xo, xo)? Is McSteamy looking for love as the lucky bachelor of a popular reality TV show? And is time on the island going backwards, forwards, or standing still?
Now's your chance to fill in the gaps and create some tribute TV. How are your favorite TV characters – past or present – spending this summer? Check out Galaticast's videos for ideas and inspiration for your submission! Gather fellow fans, pull out the creative stops and get making some clips. Who knows, maybe your video will inspire the writer's room of your favorite show, or convince executives to bring back a series for another season!
Send us your ideas via video, in three minutes or less, and encourage your friends to vote for you. The most voted video will be named "Fan Favorite Video"; a second grand prize will be awarded "Judge's Favorite Video" by a jury of your TV peers - industry experts who share your passion for all things television.
For the winners, FanTrust will pay your cable bill – meaning you can stay on top of all of next season's best television.
Thanks to our friends at Galaticast for letting us use their amazing video's as inspiration. To check out more of their work, head to http://www.galacticast.com/about/
