Death by Vidding

[krickets]

You people don't even want to know what I had to go through in order to get this rendered properly.

Fandom: LOST
Characters: Kate, Jack, & Sawyer
Song: Put Your Lights On
Artist: Santana ft. Everlast
Genre: Character Study
Premise: At odds with one another, Jack, Kate and Sawyer share an unspoken bond. Beneath the surface, there is a monster lurking inside each of them. It is the source of their greatest strength and their greatest weakness. (Not Triangley!)

Aw, thanks! It was a true pain in the neck. Your icon is VERY pretty!

I quit LOST half way through S1 because I didn't like it...but this actually makes me want to keep watching it.
Great editing! Thanks.
LOVE the song.

Fucking Hell!

Excuse my language, but it was necessary to convey my feelings about this video!

Just ... wow!

It really blew my mind.

The saturation was AMAZING, first of all. It was so intense and alive that it depicted the intent of the video right away.

The scenes you chose were FANTASTIC. They went along *perfectly* with the lyrics. I love how it was a mix of literal interpretation ("put your lights on" - Kate and the headlights of the car) and methaphorical interpretation (Sawyer and his daughter's picture, for example). The beat use was great too for a song that it's not very powerful, but not very rock-y.

This vid had it all, KC. It was rauchy, sinful, and profound all in one. Plus, those Jack/nameless chick scenes were insanely sexy. *drools*

STUPENDOUS JOB!!!!

...but this actually makes me want to keep watching it.

Wow, that is a REALLY good compliment. Thank you! I am super excited for the "return" coming up Feb. 7th. Hopefully it's as good as I'm anticipating. If it's not, I'll just make a vid and manipulate it to my liking. Haha.

How've you been?

[elcazavampiros.livejournal.com]

Great vids. You did a wonderful job putting this together with some perfect clips and the perfect song.

Thanks.

Maria! You cursed! And I made you! Killer!

Re: The Saturation. I dunno what you're using to vid these days, but I just recently started using Vegas, and I don't use much of the fancy effects as you can probably tell, but I have been using different curves layers and contrast/brightness to get different effects. Like with this one I think that it was bright but it had a bit of a bluish/pinkish tone to it in some of the colors. I liked that so I kept it. Haha. Glad you liked it.

It was rauchy, sinful, and profound all in one.

That's going in the write-up! I'm SO glad you got that from it. It's exactly what I was intending. You rock my world girl!

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I love your icon by the way. Haha. It's a really great song, I agree.

[turquoisetumult.livejournal.com]

:)

Trust me, you didn't make me curse. I do it enough all on my lonesome. ;) Anyway, I loved the coloring because it resembled your icons in many ways and your icons rock!

That's going in the write-up! I'm SO glad you got that from it. It's exactly what I was intending.

Haha. I guess we think alike!

You rock my world girl!
Niiiiice. lol. ;) And ... ditto.

WOW!! Amazing video!
You outdid yourself KC!
The editing was perfect with the clips you chose. :D

[prettybutt.livejournal.com]

very cool-i LOVE the song, and the clip choices were great. no wonder school is kicking your butt-you are too focused on this fun stuff ♥

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Thank you! *blush* I think when it comes to stuff like this, you're your own worst critic. It certainly seems to work that way. So thanks very much for the compliments.

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Ahaha, true. You never cease to call me on my shit. I'm having trouble getting back into the swing of academia. I am always in this state where I have like ten balls up in the air at once, and inevitably some things (or seven things) are not going to get done. Ever. Probably not best to do that while the semester is in. But I'm still in denial about that. To my credit I had this video started (ten seconds!) before school was in. I told myself I'd only work on it on weekends and when my homework was done. Ptsh! I fail.

[djpaty.livejournal.com]

Great video! I already loved the song and never noticed how much it relates to our favorite trio.
Really enjoyed the editing and choice of scenes. Way to go! :)

[two-five.livejournal.com]

Welcome!!
Yes, I agree with you! I am my worst critic!! Know how that feels.
I thought it turned out great!!! ;)

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Thanks very much! And your icon is HILARIOUS! ;)

[djpaty.livejournal.com]

Thanks, but credit goes where credit is due: this great icon was shamelessly stolen from my dear friend prudencechan :D

And I added your video to my YouTube favorites.

[knightdawn.livejournal.com]

that video was soooooo good...loved it...

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[halfdutch.livejournal.com]

Ooh, that was awesome! :) Excellent use of footage.

[gottalovev.livejournal.com]

okay, so I had to go check another vid from my new friend (yay!) and I chose this one... DAMN! it's amazing!

love love LOVED it!!! :)

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Thank you! It's definitely one I'm very proud of! I'm glad you liked! :D

I'm planning on doing something Jawyer soon! So you'll have to check that out when/if I get finished with it. Haha.
