VID-itude!

Some time around early December/late OctoberNOVEMBER, I was lying in bed staring up at the ceiling thinking nothing in particular when this idea hit me:
"I SHOULD VID TO BJORK!"
...apparently for sheer merit of COMPLETE INSANITY. Mel smokes the good crack, she does.
So then, you know, I shared this with
phurie_dae, who had to enable me, and send me these Bjork mp3s, and be all supportive and helpful and beautifully nitpicky and GOD DAMN, I DID IT (eventually and with much wailing and gnashing of teeth). There's something Most Wrong with my head. .::falls right over::.
"Emotional Landscapes" - Batman Begins footage to Joga by Bjork, with incredible thanks to
phurie_dae for keeping me from killing myself, WMM, or both, and also to
tiggothy and
shrieking_ell for being somewhat-willing victims <3.
(Since I didn't quite feel like abusing
drbillbongo's bandwidth (this sucker's 34MB), that's a YSI link up there, and just let me know when it craps out. Or if you want a more manageable filesize, because I can do that, too.)
THIS JUST IN -- LEAVING FEEDBACK SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN TO BE THE TRUE SECRET OF ETERNAL YOUTH!
(ConCrit also highly, highly appreciated, but not necessary.)

Absolutely beautiful. *blinks* Such a perfect melding of song and video - they really fit well together. The song was very nice, I've never heard of Bjork, but now I'll have to keep an eye out for them.

do definitely give her stuff a listen! it's a little wacky, but strangely poetic.

(no actual comments as yet as it will be too much of a pain in the ass at the moment to reset laptop into something that can actually view the vid. it has been saved for later)
also - i'm writing an Alfred fic. just thought you might want to know. This is a total non sequitor.

Date: 2006-01-02 04:29 pm (UTC)thank you for the comment even though I kinda liedthank you very much for the feedback! *heart*(no subject)
Date: 2006-01-02 02:38 am (UTC)It may just be that it's late nad I'm tired, but it seemed almost frantic at first (then again so did the music, so I think it fit nicely) but the ending of it was so poignant. . .gorgeous.
That looks like it takes a lot fo work, and it's just excellent.

Date: 2006-01-02 07:54 pm (UTC)Holy crap. This is probably my favourite fanvid out of all I've ever seen. The timing is wonderful, the blending of scenes and characters is beautiful. With the song choice and the way that you put it together it gives it that sort of melancholic feeling, the needless tragedy of all their lives...
I wanted to see some Ducard in there, mostly because the calm on his face just before the train crashes would have fit equally well, but the fight scenes with him...not so much.
But seriously. You are my goddess.

Date: 2006-01-02 08:07 pm (UTC)I'm glad it did work out for you, though, and I'm extremely flattered that you think so highly of it. Thank you for the kind and thoughtful words! (and of course, for the suggestion! *concrit whore*) None of them have had easy lives, damn Gotham for it, and they all wind up driven by things that aren't happiness. And it's just... life. *minor heartbreak of love*

<3.
Amazing Video!
