in like 2013, me and my brother made a little series on flipnote studio called "cats of the night", which was about a group of cats that could transform into wolves at will. it was kinda a parody of those typical wolf pack animated series on youtube.
long story short i lost the SD card the episodes were on and then we sold my DSi for some reason, so literally all existing content of it is gone, save for two drawings i made and a screenshot from an animated video i made with the characters (which has since been deleted from youtube)
When I was 5-6, me and my sister made as audio story out of sound clips (like an audio book but shorter) about a teenager addicted to pizza that goes and tries to eat all pizza on Earth. Evemtually, He gets SO fat that he get's biggerthan the Empire State Building. Eventually, a kid pops him with a thumbtack. It was so much more cheesy than anything else Ive said. Unfortunately, this was on my sister's DSI and she deleted the recordings. MEH
I rise from the ashes. Only to fall back in again.
I think I've lost just about all my YouTube videos from last decade and a couple years into this one. I also may have had Game Maker gmk files lost during transitions from laptop to laptop over the years.
When i first made a youtube account when i was 11 i made cringy videos of me doing stuff like beatboxing and adventures on the bus. I deleted them a few years ago but i really want to find them. They're probably on an SD Card somewhere in my house or in my old phone though i doubt it at this point.
Neat, another Aussie. For me it was Plasmo. Does anyone else remember Plasmo?
Its easy to get online now (You're welcome!) but for many years it was basically unknown. I contacted the creator and was able to get a personal DVD copy made years ago. Its probably the "rarest" thing I own. It was something that I saw a few times at home when sick from school.
The other thing was Jim Henson's Storyteller. It is easy to get now, but for many years the only proof I had that it existed was a few bad VHS recordings. Likewise, it was something that played on the ABC usually at around 10-11am on weekdays. So, I only managed to catch it when I was home sick.
It is probably my favorite TV series of all time honestly. But again, where once it was practically unknown, now it is on DVD and easily enough found (which I think is a good thing, given how brilliant it is).
If we really go back into the depths and the vault of memory though, there is a cartoon I saw "Nuts and Bolts" is all I remember. I don't know if that was the name, or lyrics from the theme song. It would have been on during the mid to late 80s. It featured a little girl in a scrap yard. Everything was rusty and there were robots. I remember it being very dark but I was a very small child. I never found out what it was... but it stayed with me forever.
I made a really old, cringy animatic on Miniclip's slideshow maker when I was like 8. No evidence of it remains, and that's probably for the best. It involved Ness from Earthbound killing a bully with his psychic powers and just... no.

I can also be seen in the crowd during a recording of a Mets-Braves game around '08, when a foul ball went into the stands, but I don't even know what game it was, let alone if there's a recording of it.

Hello to all -- longtime lurker first time poster.
My personal lost media includes my username. Mr Pelican Pants is the name of a 20 minute short film improvised by two friends and I in the summer of 1990 or 91 on a borrowed video camera.
Filmed in empty malls and parking lots on a long weekend, we were 2 detectives chasing a villain complete with fight scenes, car chases and a sarcastic nod to our heroes Chris Elliott and Frank Zappa.
I had the only surviving copy, which was viewed and left at a friends' house in 1994. I'd give anything to know what happened to it, or to get my hands on it again.
There was a network called LBC (Lebanese Broadcasting Channel) which broadcast a host of live-action shows. The most notable to me, which I recorded on videocassette, was called Bla Bla Bla. It featured a cast of a handful of adults and puppets (human disguises) engaging with children in Arabic, French, and English. I would probably call it a fusion of Sesame Street and Barney and Friends.
I think that I know where the videocassettes containing them are (which also contain 1990's Arabic music videos, Arabic dubs of Japanese cartoons like both the 1972 and 1992 versions of Calimero, and episodes of Baqqar on Future TV), but retrieving them will take some time. I also need a plug for converting from videocassettes to digital files (I have a VCR).

I was keeping a dream journal and writing down creative ideas for my writing on my old phone. Then I spilled a white russian on it and it died. Tried the rice trick, didnt save it. Could never recover that data/
In late 2013/ early 2014, i started making somewhat impressive demos on the Lego Mindstorms NXT. Then i started to make a Mario game for it. I made two demos for it. One was a demo i used to test scrolling with analog controls an the other had auto-scrolling with an animated Mario. Unfortunately the source code for both versions disappeared and the programs were gone from the NXT's memory. All that was left were the gfx, which were gone after a week. Later i made a remake of Donkey.bas for the NXT, and the title screen uses the last remains of the Mario demo: the code used for scrolling, which i managed to remember. Donkey.nxc will not die anytime soon, since i got at least 3 backup of the whole thing!
I was in attendance during part of a Diamondbacks-Tigers game at Comerica Park in June 2010, dunno which one though but I do know it started at 1 PM and that they gave out Charlie Brown bobbleheads, I still have one today. I recorded that game as it aired on Fox Sports Detroit but I couldn't even find myself, even from far-distance camera shots. However I have no idea if any recordings of that game exist anywhere, if at all. In fact, my own recording is now lost due to me switching cable providers since then.
