If you are afraid, give more
If you are alive, give more now
Everybody here has seams and scars
So what? Level up!

This is the first AMV I've done, and it was really interesting seeing the differences between what worked for live action sources versus animated sources. I might ruminate on this a bit more and make a post about the experience.

Naturally, I decided to start on god tier difficulty level, with an anime that has been running for over 20 years and has over 800 episodes with the available source material in 4 different file formats, only 1 of which works with my vidding program natively, with the rest needing to be manually converted. I literally had to buy an additional terabyte of storage before I could do this lol.

That all being said, I absolutely love this vid. It's everything I love about One Piece in a nutshell.

Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes versus the power of modern myth

In the clearing stands a boxer
And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of ev'ry glove that laid him down
Or cut him till he cried out
In his anger and his shame
“I am leaving, I am leaving”
But the fighter still remains

No Light (fades away) - music No Light No Light by Florence and the Machine


No light, no light in your bright blue eyes

I never knew daylight could be so violent

A revelation in the light of day

You can’t choose what stays and what fades away
 
This is the ultimate Steve/Bucky love song for me. I vidded it in my head for five months, and the minute the HQ footage dropped I was all over it. I made this vid in two days, which is ridiculous by my own personal standards. (Particularly since I’ve have discovered that CA:TWS is in 1920x800 and I could only find The Avengers in 1920x1080. ARE YOU KIDDING ME. I ended up cropping every Avengers clip carefully by hand, while hating myself lol.)

A Still More Glorious Dawn - music: Carl Sagan remix by Symphony of Science

I wanted to make this vid literally for years, ever since the first Reboot movie came out. I made this using a lot of preview footage and some cam footage from the second movie, so once I have the time I really want to take a weekend and remaster it.

BUT until then, I still want to archive it on my blog. I am pretty proud of it.

"No it's not meant to be like this.
Not what I planned at all.
I don't want to feel like this.
So that makes it all your fault."


To me, this vid has five acts. Act I: Merlin and Arthur meet and have hate at first sight. Act II: they are stupid dorky boys at each other until eventually they become friends. Act III: they risk their lives to save one another. A lot. Act IV: there are forces working against them, Uther, Nimueh, Merlin's secret, etc. Act V: together, they can overcome anything. :)

So it turns out that, uh, vidding is addictive. And now that I've got a new computer with a meaningful amount of hard drive space... this is only one of three or four vids currently rattling around in my mind.

Dean learns to sing Hallelujah. Dean/Castiel vid, Hallelujah cover by Imogen Heap. Spoilers through 4x10. (I.e., the newest episode post-hiatus is not used)

Available for download here, if you are so inclined.

What IS it with this show?? Not only has it completely eaten fandom, but it's making ME productive. I start things all the time, with lots of ambitious ideas I never follow through on. But not only have I completed a vid, I'm also 4000 words into a fic I might actually finish. THIS IS WEIRD.

Anyway. So, I love vidding, but have never had enough hard drive space to save a meaningful amount of source material. Solution: the one episode vid. And then after watching 1x11, the Labyrinth of Gedref, I realized that I just so happen to have in my music collection a song about a unicorn curse. That's fate, man. You don't mess with that.

If anyone wants a download I can set that up, but otherwise it's on YouTube and Imeem. Imeem has the better picture quality, but on my computer YouTube has a much smoother playback.
