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.

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.

Oh. My. God. That was utterly, utterly brilliant. *rewatches twenty times*

I think this is even better than the ep itself. Excluding, of course, the fact that none of it would make sense to someone who hasn't seen the ep. So, so beautiful, and appopriately heart-wrenching.

Wow - thank you so much.
