Vid: Don't U Eva

Nov 28, 2006 21:03

If anyone's been wondering why I've been a little quiet of late, it's partly because Final Cut Pro ate my life. Although its ways are still 99 per cent mysterious to me, I've somehow managed to dredge something out... though it's not what you might expect. I must say that in all my daydreaming about being able to vid one day, I never pictured ( Read more... )

vids, bsg

I love Sarah Blasko. :3 D'you have her other songs?

bop_radar November 28 2006, 10:12:59 UTC

*nods* I have both albums. Have you got them? She's got such a gorgeous voice!

moonwitch November 28 2006, 10:23:01 UTC

I have the Prelusive EP and The Overture and the Underscore, but not her latest. >.<;

But yeah, really love her stuff.

bop_radar November 28 2006, 10:30:38 UTC

I don't have Prelusive, but I'd be happy to upload her latest if you wanted to do a swap, perchance? :-)

Merry Christmas to meeeeee!!!!!!

I am so happy right now, I don't even know how to say it. THANK YOU! This is so freakin' AWESOME! eeeeeeeee! You've captured all of the good parts, I didn't think it was too dark (lighting-wise. Theme-wise, it was perfectly, wonderfully dark!) and I loved the speed picking up near the end. Great job, Boppy! I can't wait to see what you make next!

Love the song, too. :)

bop_radar November 28 2006, 14:15:14 UTC

Eeeee!! *throws arms around you*
OMG, thank gods you likes it!! (I confess I crept down to check my mail at 1am to see if you'd got it yet *blush*)

I really enjoyed making this (although I've been ready to throw a brick at it for the final few days of tweaking) but I've always been terribly anxious making things for people... so relieved you like it!

Oh and you like the song! Yay! (that was always a risk--if the song's off the whole thing's off...) She's got a gorgeous quality to her voice that I really liked. I was worried it would seem wrong for Kara--that people would assume female singer = Kara's voice, whereas the lyric's about both of them, not just Kara). But if it worked for you then very very yay!

So glad the end worked--the vid got restructured a couple of times but by the time I got to the end, this just flowed out--it kind of had a lie of its own by then.

Ok, I blabble. I sleeps now.

(Oh and thank you so much for DS vid reccing! they were both brilliant)

Hee! Are you kidding? I've been known to wake up about 8 or 9 times during the night to check comments, and I've even, on several occasions, snuck home from work for a couple minutes to check them, too.

Anyway, no worries, because I love it!

And, yay! I'm glad you liked the DS vids!

Ok, yes, sleep for you. *tucks you in*

bop_radar November 28 2006, 20:39:35 UTC

Oh, yay, I'm not a freak! I got some insight into how anxiety-provoking it must be for writers/artists to post.

I forgot to say I'm glad it was not too dark--I had read that it might look darker on PCs than on my Mac, and I'm not at the stage of being able to adjust for this yet, so I worried some of the shadowy shots would be lost. And then I had to try and get it small enough for people to dl reasonably. I have a slightly bigger sized and prettier one if you want it--it's 36 mb but it is better quality if you want to keep it.

The DS vids were brilliant! So well cut and funny! And they made me REALLY want to watch the show! *giggle* I'm not surprised by Zebra--Shalott is a brilliant vidder--but I didn't know the vidders of Goody Two Shoes and it was really fun too. That level of confidence with shot choice is something I aspire to. *dreams*

Im still sleepy... *sips coffee*

Eeeee! I just discovered Sarah Blasko, thanks to dingogrrrl, and now you've gone and vidded my favorite song of hers. You really are a genius!

Sadly, I have to wait many, many hours to download, as I'm at work now. :(

bop_radar November 28 2006, 20:42:11 UTC

Oh, wow! Well, um, you might be a bit freaked by what I've vidded her to. *warns* But yes, Sarah is awesome! I wondered if you'd discovered her yet--so glad you like her too. :-) (scroll up in the comments for dls of two of her albums if you don't already have them)

talitha78 November 29 2006, 00:46:04 UTC

*sobs* Yousendit hates me. It says I need to log in to get the vid. Help, please!

bop_radar November 29 2006, 02:33:46 UTC

Waah! Why does it say that? It's taken to saying that to me of late too... *frowns* I'm at work so I can't upload it somewhere else right now, but I can do so when I get home. Meanwhile, can you get to it directly from this link? http://www.yousendit.com/download/LHWCt%2FabBId5TA%3D%3D

*pulls up a chair to the terminal and waits for Boppy's SV vids*

bop_radar November 28 2006, 22:04:32 UTC

:-) Thank you! I hope they will not be tooo long in coming. I am very excited about getting started on SV now that I've got a larger harddrive, but five and a half seasons of footage is kind of daunting!

bloodygoodgirl November 28 2006, 18:02:08 UTC

Yay! Dude, this was awesome. I loved in the begining where you matched the music with Kara playing with the fork. And speeding up the tempo during the end was awesome. I can't believe this is your first vid, and I'm looking forward to seeing more from ya darlin. YAY BOPPY!

bop_radar November 28 2006, 20:44:03 UTC

Oh, wow, thank you so much for the comment! I'm so glad you liked the fork moment! That was fun to make. And the end seems to have been a fave, so yay--I was running on instinct by then. *hugs* Thank you for watching!
