New Vid!! Battlestar Galactica!

I finished another vid! Massive thanks and kudos to [livejournal.com profile] 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.

Masterpiece is right.

I hardly know where to begin. I'm in awe. I can't remember the last time I felt quite this emotion while watching a vid: I am pure YEE-HAW!

What you do with movement here, using all the gorgeous stuff the cinematographers are giving us plus your own internal ballet, is a lesson to vidders everywhere. It's everything a vid *should* be, visually, and my heart is still beating really fast.

And then you make such a perfect portrait of Starbuck, showing all the different facets. Relationships are there, and important, but it's not a shippy vid (unlike, seemingly, every other Starbuck vid out there). It's a passionate exploration of Starbuck and all of her wonderful colors, the fabulous and the flaws.

I worship you right now. I'm not terribly coherent, either.
