New Vid!! Angel!

[sisabet]

First of all: Happy Birthday killabeez!

Second of all: Huge thanks to sockkpuppett and f1renze for tag-team betaing last night so the vid could be posted today.

Also? This vid is for Flo, because she has been muttering about a bucket since August and that just ain't right, unless your name is Justine. Actually, even if your name is Justine, that is some pretty fucked up shit right there. She also got me through the home stretch by vidding A/S to "Endless Love" for my Christmas present. How do you repay something like that? You don't. You just try.

Where was I? Oh, yes - vid.

The Bucket
song by Kings of Leon
Spike/Angel
I'll be the one to show you the way. You be the one to always complain.

Do me a favor and watch the xvid version with the VLC player if at all possible cause it is just a thousand times nicer than the wmv version.

Download:

xvid 22 mbs here

wmv 15 mbs here

And as always - feedback is cherished and rocked like a small child. I might even sing to it. You just never know.

O.O

Both links are coming up invalid.

Oops - fixed.

[renenet.livejournal.com]

Squeeeee!!!

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

Woot!!

[f1renze.livejournal.com]

Gaaaah! I drool at the xvid. Love, love, love. It fulfills so much emptiness in me.

Also - the bloodier Angel gets, the wider I grin. Because then Spike shows him the waaaaaay!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS.

ENDLESS LOVE IN A BUCKET!!

Flo and you this weekend have made my inner fangirl complete.

Wow. I loved this so much. The xvid clarity was awesome, of course. The cutting you did to make it match the syncopated music went so well with their dynamic. To quote from something I just said to Flo on YIM, this vid captures the "lighthearted giggly you're-squirming-because-they're-so-cute-together side of the a/s dynamic."

I love very much. Thank you.

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I've wanted to do a vid that really captures the fact that these guys are dorks for a very long time. I mean - blood and angst and pain and damnation are fine and all, but what really gets to me is the complete and utter doofusness they possess. Well, that and the chains.

[wolfling]

And now actual feedback...

Loved it. :) Totally captures the... exasperated annoying glee that those two bounce off each other with. Clip that really got me was the one of Spike raising his hand on "I'm going to show the way" at the end there. Just one of those clips that you see and catch your breath because it's just so... yes. :)

I've loved pretty much every vid of yours I've seen (you were probably the vidder I most wanted to be like when I started vidding myself), but I think it's your Angel vids that I love the most. You really *get* that character and that show in a way that is almost visceral.

Thank you for another Angel vid to add to my "rewatch in glee!" list. :)

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much - I'm giddy that you feel this way, it means so much to me.

And I love that Spike annoys Angel. I love that Angel gets flustered constantly by Spike. It is good for him! I love... hell, I love everything about these guys.

[tinyblondeone.livejournal.com]

Fantastic. I just sat here giggling for 3 minutes, and I can't thank you enough for that. Probably my favourite A/S vid - I'll be keeping it on my "to watch when feeling down" list.

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

Yay! Thank you!

[beloved4always.livejournal.com]

I really enjoyed this vid, sisabet :D thanks so much!!

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

Thank you for letting me know, I really appreciate it!

[killabeez.livejournal.com]

I DIE OF THE CUTE.

Best birthday present ever. I kept stealing glances at the status bar to see how much was left because I didn't want it to ever end.

I love you forever and ever.

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

I am so glad you liked it! Happy birthday - aren't they just the best dorks ever?? And the thing is: I ran out of time - I still have tons and tons of Dork Footage to use.

I LOVE them soooo much.

[trepkos.livejournal.com]

I love the way this is edited - especially when they come out of the lifts together!

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

Spike is so thrilled there - I love him cracking up. Thanks for letting me know that you enjoyed the vid.

[so-sharlemaine.livejournal.com]

Fantastic! I can't tell you how happy I was to see this post. A Spike and Angel vid from Sisabet...makes me tingly all over :-)

Can I pimp it to my friends list? I'd love for them to see it.

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much and yes!! Pimp away if you wish, I love that.

[lorij.livejournal.com]

Love the vid. Love the song choice. Love you. :)

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

HEE!! Yay!

[amavel-bel.livejournal.com]

OMG, once again you did a fantastic job!!! This vid just proves how incredible is the dynamic between Angel and Spike. Gonna watch this vid again and again and again.

And I'm so gonna pimp this ;-).

Kisses

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! Lum said I was vidding canon and I totally agree. All I did was show how season 5 went down.

Eeee!

[laurashapiro.livejournal.com]

The movement! The jump cuts!

THE JUMP CUTS!! ::OMGlove::

I...yeah. Wow. Fun! The vid *dances*! I have no words with more than two syllables. I'm all chair-dancing and stuff.

Whee!

Re: Eeee!

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

Whee!! I got your email - more to follow when I am not dead and all, but thank you so much.

THE JUMP CUTS!!

YES!! I've been *obsessed* (I am not exaggerating here)with jumpcuts since last astolat's "Zebra" so...most of this year has been spent in deep jumpcut concentration and I *still* don't think I have it down. But this vid is a start.

[lostakasha.livejournal.com]

Yay!!! So cool to have new A/S to watch and rewatch. Great vid, as always!!!

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[virtualpersonal.livejournal.com]

Excellent vid, very clear, and great scenes that show the dynamic between Spike and Angel. I think they live to annoy each other ::grins::

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

I think they live to annoy each other

It gives Angel something to hang on to - he must continue the good fight or Spike will have the last word. He can't ever let that happen.

::adores her stubborn idiot gay vampires::

Thank you so very much for letting me know your thoughts.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_sharvie_/]

Very cute. Love the back and forth, shows the perfect blend of love and hate they had going.

Love the xvid version. I didn't realize I already had that in my system, so I downloaded both. What do you have to do to render to that format? It looks fabulous.

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

Thank you - I think the love *is* the hate, for these guys. Or something.

I rendered the xvid according to absolut3destiny's guide at the AMV - I don't have the link here at work. I love this guide - the quality of my vids has jumped tremendously since I started using it.

[ficbyzee.livejournal.com]

So um--I really shouln't have watched this while in the middle of editing my own vid, because now I'm all depressed because wow, that was *amazing.*

I've never seen an episode of Angel, but that was--yeah, amazing, and I really suck at coherent feedback, but wow. The editing, and those amazing first thirty seconds, and the way every frame seemed to pack a punch, and the way you used the music, and *everything.* Really, really fucking good.

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!!! Don't get discouraged! Vids must be made!

I would be remiss not to point out that I have tremendous help with betas -- they make me look so incredibly good.

[dualbunny.livejournal.com]

Oh my god, what is Spike, all of about 8 years old?

Frickin' awesome. The speed changes, the rearranging, the sheer genius of the arrangement. Damn. Whenever you make a new vid, I feel the need to point at the screen at go, "Yes! That's what I want to do when I grow up!"

::loves::

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

Yes! He is eight! And it only works because Angel is NINE and so frickin' full of himself that he won't listen to an eight year old.

I love, love, love that Spike basically has to beat the shit out of Angel in order to get him to actually listen. I am so glad you liked it, thank you!!

[sueworld2003.livejournal.com]

Wonderful, wonderful video!

Beautifully clear and well edited and it really brings it back to me what I loved about all the Spangel interaction during that last season.

*sob*

I miss my big dead gay show....

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

WAH!!! Angel!!!

Thank you so much. I really resent that we didn't get a sixth season with what they had been building in the fifth.

Hi! Came via f1renze Great vid, made me smile non-stop, thanks!

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

Thanks for letting me know!!

[janedavitt.livejournal.com]

Really impressed with how sharp the quality was; drew me into it. And that's just them in all their glory doing what they do best, brawling and snarking and having a whale of a time. Perfect.

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

I am really happy with the xvid encoding process - I can't believe the difference.

Those boys... ::sigh:: Thank you so much!

[spikesgurl.livejournal.com]

I really enjoyed this! I came away with a big smile, thinking "God, I love our boys!" Thanks!!

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

I love them too!! Are they or are they not, the best??

Thank you!

[kaydee23.livejournal.com]

What a great video. I would have loved a couple of more years of Spike and Angel. They had such great chemistry together! Good job.

[chinawolf.livejournal.com]

Wow. This is brilliant - I especially loved the tempo! Thanks for sharing this!

[zooz.livejournal.com]

Weeeeee....been a big fan of yours for many years. Closer...GAH !! I think it's time to come of of the bushes. I love this vid so much. Funny and well absolutely good work !! Can I pimp this ?? And since it's way overdue I friended you. Hope you don't mind :-)

God I love the boys so so much.
