New Vid!! Battlestar Galactica!

[sisabet]

I finished another vid! Massive thanks and kudos to renenet for the machine gun beta performed well into the wee hours.

Fandom: Battlestar Galactica (2003)
Song: When I Paint My Masterpiece
Artist: Emmylou Harris
Starbuck, character study
Format: WMV, 20mbs
Oh, the streets of Rome are filled with rubble

WMV version - 19 mbs here


All thoughts, criticisms, recipes, whatever - it is welcome. Feel free to link to this page (not to the vid) on LJ, webpages, and communities/mailing lists.

A rough outline done in the hours before I started laying clips and was itching to vid, but stuck at work, can be found here . At that time I said I was not up for discussing the vid, just process. Now, now that I have done all that I can do, I am up for discussing the vid. Whew.

ETA: 1-11-10 the vid is now available (wmv only, sorry) for download again.

I've only seen Ep.1 and 4 (? - the backstory about the boyfriend/Adama's other son) but Starbuck's character -- someone trying to enjoy the present while not forgetting the past -- comes through for me in this vid.

Really enjoyed the imagery/clip choices - the lyrics of the streets of rubble over the scene of the coffins and "he promised he'd be there with me" over the funeral especially.

And from the Looks-Simple-But-I'm-Sure-It's-Not technical category: loved the sequence where she winks and it goes into blackout in time with the music. Those little moments are some of my favorites in vids.

I'm looking forward to the miniseries arriving from Netflix even more now!

Thought I should add: because it shows that everything isn't just fun and games for Starbuck. She's had to deal with some heavy issues.

Thank you so much.

Actually the winking and fading out was pretty simple - just had to get it lined up with the music, and there was never any doubt I would use that scene cause... well it *is* Starbuck.

You need to watch more BSG!! Watch! Write! Love! Yay!

I know that spoon!

*LOL*
At first I was like "spoon"? What new LJ-slang is this?

I should have visited that spoon today. It was a gorgeous day for it, here in the Land of Loons. ;-)

I live about 8 blocks away from it.
