New Vid Posted

Finally - it is done.

Buffy POV, song is "Middle of the Road" by The Pretenders

Get it here.

I started this video back in October. Basically I was tired of reading about what a bitch Buffy is. Because - really - who can make that judgement? Okay - she is mean to Spike (which will grant you a big eye-roll from me) and sometimes short with her friends - but have you seen the show? Being a slayer is hard. You don't get sick days, or sabbaticals or leaves of absence (unless you are Faith). Hell, even when you are dead and finished you aren't. So if she takes awhile to sort things out and messes up along the way, so much the better - I'm all for realism with my super-heroes, I have no interest in watching perfect people with perfect lives. Because, this is the deal: even when Buffy is at the top of her game and has her life under control (as much as a 22 year old woman can hope to achieve) it is exhausting being her. And there are no breaks, time-outs or do-overs - that is just how it is.

Feedback, comments and thoughts are always welcome, wanted and neeeded.

Edited to adjust the time (stupid computer clock) and to fix the link. Thank you Devil Piglet!

I just DL'd it and then went to BoB and drooled over it on a new thread. I love it, especially the ending. Yes, Buffy's life sucks beyond the telling of it, and we need to remember it. Is that feedback okay?

I haven't watched the vid yet, but I was having trouble with the link. For anyone else, the Headtilt video page is here: http://www.headtilt.com/video.htm

Big Huge Freakin' Thank You

I'm a doofus. Thanks for looking out for me. Dawn is saying, "What do you mean, you didn't check the link?" and shaking her head sadly in my direction right now.

You rock. That is all.

I should have noticed this, but my PC's been such a mess,I assumed the problem was at my end and tried going in through the main headtilt site.

Besides, Devil Piglet will tell you I have this weird savant-like ability to locate files on my friends' sites even when the links are wrong. Strange, because half the time I can't find my own files.

You've done it again. It is fabulous. I hope our puppies inherit your artistic ability.

I think Cowboy's still my current fave of yours, but the editing in Middle of the Road, had me positively drooooling. Maybe when I'm feeling more coherent there will be more...coherent..thought about it. ;D Either way, congrats on this new one. :)

I raved over at BoB but I will say here again, the editing on this blew me away.

Amazing (and your Angelus icon is killing me!)

And I'm asking: "Where's all the Buffy/Faith slashy subtext in this vid?"

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

And I'm saying: Get your own vid.

Plus - Buffy/Faith? Pretty much text.

Hey, hot stuff. This looks spectacular. I noticed some new tricks since the earlier version...like Buffy apparating in Spike's crypt like a vengeance demon? Cool.
