[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.

Whoa!
Other people already mentioned the zooms and the fluid movement and I second that. I also appreciate that you didn't go literal, and good vidding rarely does. The song choice did bring to mind Firefly, at first, but the more I watch, the more I think it fits the character. Plus, it's Starbuck is all but conventional, so why should she have typical music.

And thank you for sharing your vid outline, I love to read this behind-the-scenes stuff.

Thank you so much. Yeah - I know the song is a bit of a stretch at first but I haven't felt this way about a character and a song since "Cowboy" (which makes sense, since they have a similar structure) so I just went for it. She was my last best hope to vid this song and the more I put it off, the better it felt.
