Mine was http://videosift.com/video/Lifes-been-good-to-me prophetic really. :]

First sift evar! (Not exactly a happy one)

http://videosift.com/video/Do-It-by-Damien-Hirst-How-to-Die-Using-a-Gun

I first saw this in a book I had, but instead had a stick figure in the demonstration.

Mine appears to be this utter classic track: http://videosift.com/video/Utah-Saints-Something-Good-1

I did not come gently into this good VS.... but as was noted when I first posted it, THE LYRICS ARE AWESOME.

http://videosift.com/video/Bizarre-Minute-Maid-ad-with-Robert-Loggia

Quite possibly my favourite video that I've sifted; I peaked early, and it's all been downhill from there.

I thought it was fitting to have some Day of the Dead begin my sifting experience...

What a great question! *clacks castenets*

Wow that takes me back. The first vid I had sifted almost four and a half years ago was:

@Zifnab
because you are a clever and prolific posting machines brother!
my first:
http://videosift.com/search?q=ani+defranco

i popped my sift cherry on this handsome gem
http://videosift.com/video/Do-you-even-know-what-the-ten-commandments-are

later, i made a playlist of this guys awesome stuff.
and even later, i got some of his art tattoo'd on my chest.
we're in love.

The first video I posted was this funny animation that turned out to be a dupe. The first one I posted that wasn't a dupe was The Imaginary Friends Help Group sketch

This was mine... http://videosift.com/video/GTV-Empire-Republic-The-Neocons-Part-1

This is mine evidently: http://videosift.com/video/Jesus-in-the-Family-Guy

If I'd known then what VideoSift would become- I would have picked something much grander than a Family Guy video.

Someone had posted a "Michael Jordan's top 10 dunks" video and I thought, "oh, hell no". Jordan may have been an awe-inspiring player but he was not the dunker that Vince Carter was.

So I posted this: http://videosift.com/video/Vince-Carters-Top-10-Dunks

This sifttalk reminded me to finally post a similar one that I've been meaning to get to for a while now...

http://happy.videosift.com/talk/Your-favorite-sift

shit i don't have a spare power point to quality this!

mine was http://videosift.com/video/Sigur-Ros-Glsli-video-clip

I don't remember.

*quality

The first one, Target Iran, didn't cut it. So my first actual sift would be Wilhelm Kempff playing Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata -- and the quality went downhill ever since.

Awarding bareboards2 with one star point for this contribution to VideoSift - declared quality by radx.

You can use the advanced search page to find the first video submitted. Fill in the submitter field, then select all the types: Sifted, Dead etc. And then order by Oldest.

Ant's oldest submission looks to be this one:
http://videosift.com/video/A-contestant-breaks-the-phone-in-Deal-or-No-Deal-game-show-322006

My first post. I first signed up to VideoSift with the specific purpose of getting this sifted.

http://videosift.com/video/Sarcasm-at-its-Best

This was my first...
http://videosift.com/video/The-Great-Pacific-Garbage-Patch

Do you remember your first time

http://videosift.com/video/Doug-Stanhope-on-Nationalism

Yes, my first sift was a top-15 video...although it was all downhill from there.

My first was: http://videosift.com/video/Fedor-vs-a-Python-in-a-choking-contest

http://videosift.com/video/Stunt-Island-Intro

This was my first sift...
http://videosift.com/video/Portal-Tribute-to-the-Companion-Cube
Turns out it was my most popular clip for the longest time until just recent... This one clip inspired me to keep going with videosift.

Made top 15 with this first one. Beginner's luck.

My first submission was http://videosift.com/video/ROTF-Leader-Class-Jetfire-Transformer and it was shite.

It's been a looooong time.

Mine.

Lawl, my first video no longer exists because I got banned for it!

I had posted a vid of a cow I saw in Switzerland, mostly because I just wanted to test how posting worked. It didn't really have ANYTHING interesting about it whatsoever. Ironically, I had read the rules about self-posting, but thought it didn't apply since there wasn't any sort of "self-promotion" in the video, as in it wasn't me doing anything artistic or even interesting for that matter.

Anyway, long story short, I killed it and appealed after being banned and the rest is history... now what my first legitimate video was: http://videosift.com/video/Bioshock-2-Teaser

http://videosift.com/video/Cooking-With-Christopher-Walken

That was over 3 years ago. Still works too.

http://videosift.com/video/Minutemen-on-Steroids-The-Citizen-Army-Pt-1

About some crazy anti-immigrant movement in Malaysia.

The first vid I ever posted was:
http://videosift.com/video/Somebody-That-I-Used-To-Know-Best-Cover-Ever

It's the song "Somebody That I Used to Know" performed by Walk Off the Earth. I was hoping to post the original video, (which had already been taken), so instead used this one (their live performance on Ellen) which I thought was the next best thing. I must thank @Boise_Lib for putting quality on it, otherwise I might still be a probie now.

There ya go

I have a playlist on this subject that I've been neglecting for a while now.

http://videosift.com/playlists/xxovercastxx/First-Impression

I was here on day 1... lurking. Didn't register for a week or two, but had to submit this video http://videosift.com/video/HOLY-FREAKING-CRAP. Still in my top 5.

http://videosift.com/video/Doug-Stanhope-on-Nationalism

which is funny because it's still my highest rated video. I peaked early.

Wow, almost six years ago according to http://happy.videosift.com/search?q=&t=v&u=ant&s[]=s&s[]=u&s[]=r&s[]=d&s[]=p&s[]=k&o=old&c[]=61&vmin=&vmax=&sh=&l=&n=&b=&submit=Search OR http://preview.tinyurl.com/8ye3odv ...

Late to the party this time round...
This was my first post and my first sift!
