BSG Vid - Ball and Chain by Sublime, a Tyrol fanvid

[boom_queen]

Well, it only took me EIGHT MONTHS to get my act together after my last vid. Granted I finished grad school and got my 'real' job in the meantime...but STILL. Unexcusable absence from vidding

Tyrol FTW!

There so aren't enough Chief vids out there, and this was so great! It was kind of bizarre, though, because it's this poppy song to the dark and dank scenes of BSG and yet it worked so well.

I especially loved the way the music slows down when you get to the FF reveal. That was rad.

Nice job!

Thanks Jo!

There definitely need to be more Chief videos. There need to be more FF videos period, now that all of their character arcs are expanding. Which reminds me that I should really think about making a just-Sam vid, and not just shippy ones that pair him up with other pilots ;)

Thanks for the comment about the ending bit too. I was worried about the pacing change--glad it worked for you!

Yay! Someone made one! I looked and looked for a Chief vid for my BSG character vid post here, but I found nothing! I liked this one.

Poor Chiefy. Nicholas totally stole the vid, though. He's so cute! Like a mini-Chiefy.

Definitely need to be more Chief vids *nods*

And Nicky is such an adorable chub-fest! I felt very wrong getting all mushy and baby-hungry during 4.03 with all his face close-ups, because I know I was supposed to focusing on the Cally!angst, but he was SO DAMN CUTE.

*pinches his chubby hybrid!baby cheeks*

Awesomely awesome and also... awesome. You done good, my friend.

Um, it will depend upon the gasoline in tank situation this weekend, in determining whether or not I will rendezvouIt's kinda doubtful since as of now I have a quarter tank and I'm in the hole again. Eye mees yew, tho! So if not this weekend, next for sure.

Also, who made the icon? I so want to steal it, but am an avid supporter of giving credit where deserved. Also, I'm too lazy to go look in your userpics.

*curtsies*

Why thank you doll ;)

No worries about the gas and money situations cuz my baby bro is in town for another week so I'm prolly going to spend most of my sparetime with him. But soon! There will be hanging out and food and pretty pilots/winchesters/whatevers!

PS: icon by the brilliant alissabobissa--who completely pwns for bringing FRAC to life :D

How cool was that!!! You had all the perfect footage for that song and you did wonders with it. And your editing was flawless as always as well as your impeccable timing *fangirls you*

*hee* this vid is so fully of irony it hurts *haha*

great job!

[boom_queen]

Thanks so much M! *grins and blushes and grins some more*

I think I've been vidding crack for so long that even the 'serious' ones are coming out cracky. I couldn't help but adore the irony of pairing Chief with this song--the lyrics are so perfect and so at odds with the beat. Glad you liked my crazy idea too ;)

Nice! Imeem wouldn't play for me, weird! That was fabulous! Galen's life summed up in 2:15 minutes perfectly highlighting the important relationships and events in his life. I keep thinking about Chief and Boomer and if they had had the time, they might have created a baby together and been the true evolution of the cylon race, but then again maybe not. I love how you include Sharon in the beginning and then Cally at the end. It was a great vid! It wasn't too dark either. Poor Chief needs a hug. Mr BQ Teehee! :D

[boom_queen]

Hmmm...imeem seems to be only working about half the time. Maybe I'll switch it out for the youtube embed, though it's not nearly as pretty...

So glad you liked it D! Happy it didn't seem too dark--wanted it to be a little playful and a little poignant.

Hugs for the Chief, hear hear!
