Fanvid: "Saved the World Today"
Hi there! Filling the very first day on my very fist B5 Love Month, and that with the very first vid I ever made... can you believe I'm a teensy bit nervous? *bounces*
So, about the vid: despite me being mainly a Centauri-and-Narn (and to a somewhat lesser degree, Minbari) lover, I managed to make it an ensemble piece after all! That's to say, two-thirds is ensemble, the middle third is - well, it should be quite clear who my favorite is. *g* Don't be deceived by the title: it 's ironic more than anything else, as the vid is pretty angsty - though the final part should bring some comfort, at least. Since I'm new to this whole vidding thing, feel free to point out any stuff I might have handled better - I'm all up for learning!
There's an embedded Youtube vid at the bottom of this post, while the direct Youtube link is here. You can also download the vid in MPG (huge file, 200 MB) and AVI-DIVX (a slightly more normal 50 MB). I noticed the Youtube clip tends to be sluggish the first time it's played... If that happens, just let it play once all the way through without peeking (!); the second time (once it's in the cache, I assume?) it should be much better!
So, here you go. Please, enjoy!
Saved the World Today - Eurythmics
Monday finds you like a bomb
That’s been left there ticking there too long
You’re bleeding
Some days there's nothing left to learn
From the point of no return
You're leaving
Hey, hey, I saved the world today
Everybody’s happy now the bad thing's gone away
And everybody’s happy now the good thing’s here to stay
Please let it stay
There’s a million mouths to feed
But I’ve got everything I need
I’m breathing
There’s a hurting thing inside
But I’ve got everything to hide
I'm grieving
Hey, hey, I saved the world today
Everybody’s happy now the bad thing's gone away
And everybody’s happy now the good thing’s here to stay
Please let it stay
Doo doo doo doo doo, the good thing ...
