watch on BAM Reasons to vid ‘One Week’? So two years ago Charmax made me the utterly charming and light-hearted Christmas vid to ‘The way we get by’. I fell in love with the vid, it had Sam going down on the flight attended and Dean testing pot. So pretty much everything a SPN fangirl heart wants. It also sparked the desire to do an equally fun look at the brothers and their various coping mechanisms to stand being around each other 24/7 and their fight dynamic and if there is a classic song to get this task done, it is ‘One week’.
Lyrical interpretation: The song is vidded in every fandom at least once and light humor really isn’t my strong suit, so this one includes improper use of tragic scenes, some scuffles taken completely out of context and me having fun with the footage. Or how Xandra put it so correctly and my favourite summary: Inappropriate threesome invitations flying in all directions.
The Journey? This project didn’t take off that well, I was starting to make the vid, when another SPN for the same song popped up. So I had it on the backburner for the last eighteen months, editing when I couldn’t bare the angst any longer and needed a day break from my other SPN projects or had to poke fun at all the man pain my show inflicted. It was in truth good to have it to go back to it frequently.
Technical notes worth mentioning? More avisynth knowledge gathered for the final encode and additional filters and stuff, so just me randomly playing around till the picture looked pretty amazingly clean for the 30 MB output.
Final note: For one of the most amazing persons I know and all-around art genius, Charmax. My life wouldn’t be the same without you in it. I love you, my darling angel.
