New Vid!! Due South!!!

So first of all - big huge beta thanks to [livejournal.com profile] renenet for going well and above the call of duty here. I am sorry I was such an unmitigated bitch last night. I blame After-Effects.

Massive thanks for additional beta duties to [livejournal.com profile] pipsqueaky (who remained firm even in the face of a very vid-disgruntled Liz), [livejournal.com profile] f1renze who freaking can pick up on ONE SINGLE FRAME MISSTIMED! (and also dealt with a bear of a me),[livejournal.com profile] absolutedestiny who sent me a key filter and then rued the day (muahahahaha), [livejournal.com profile] sweetestdrain and [profile] just_eunice for being so supportive, [livejournal.com profile] tzikeh for making sure I didn't watch "Victoria's Secret" alone, [livejournal.com profile] sockkpuppett for making sure I continued working even when it was hard and who had terrific ideas to tie things together, and [livejournal.com profile] laurashapiro and [livejournal.com profile] katallison cause they helped me figure out how to end the damned thing.

Whew. Also? None of the above made fun of me when they figured out what I was doing - although there were a lot of OMGWTFPOLARBEARVID. Mostly from me.

It really does take the Village People.

This is my first due South vid - no spoilers post season one.

Icebound Stream

I can hold a thunderhead in my heart


ETA: 8-19-09, this vid is now available again as a download:

Xvid version (28) Mbs available here


Additional source:

Inuit singers and footage taken from the documentary "Great North"
Additional footage from "Antarctica: An Adventure of a Different Nature" (I know, okay - I just needed snow), "The Blue Planet: Frozen Seas," "Alaska: Spirit of the Wild," "Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom: Mammals of North America" and some educational film about glaciers that I can't find right now.

Also? [livejournal.com profile] infinitemonkeys for making this icon which reminded me of this idea everytime I posted.

ETA2: Oh yeah - that thing we do where I post something and you tell me what you thought about it? I *love* that thing! All feedback welcomed.

ETA3: Notes, interactive beta moments and my nervous breakdown during the making of the vid is discussed at length here.

Yet another comment to let you know that this vid is still being recced, still being discovered and breaking new hearts. It's beautiful, utterly beautiful.

I have no idea if you will ever read this, being that it's six years after you posted this but wow!
I was having one of those sucky kind of days and I randomly googled my favourite television thing ever, that of course being Victoria's Secret and I came across your vid. It was incredible!

Your timing is excellent and the use of other footage was great, the song choice was outstanding. I'm watching it in my office and you have me on the verge of tears here. I loved that so much! Thank you very kindly for sharing it.

-Alan
