Hah, at first I thought this was the Andrew video that used this song (which I still love). Can't wait to see this shiny new and different one :)

I think it is sdwolfpup that did the Andrew vid. I hope you enjoy my version.

I did, I did! My favorite of your works is still "Boom Ba", but this was nicely done too. Lots of Spangel to horrify/entertain my friends with :)

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. Everyone seems to like "Boom Ba" and I do have a soft spot for it.

I never saw the original, but I loved this! Liked the noise effect - I've never been able to get that to work very well. Also really enjoyed how you managed to scene-match so many instances where Spike and Angel weren't really together without it looking contrived. Really nice job.

Thanks little heaven. I'm glad you liked it. The noise in the original version was shocking but in this version I actually got it to work pretty much how I had envisaged it. I'm glad you didn't think it looked contrived I know it can be difficult when you know the source well and have to try to see it in a different context.

I know it can be difficult when you know the source well and have to try to see it in a different context.

That's how I judge the AU vids I watch - when they make me forget about trying to place the source footage and just accept them as what they are showing me :o) I think Aimee's Tourniquet and Astarte's Haunted were the first that ever did that for me, now I can add this one!

Aimee and Astarte are great at the constructed reality stuff. Aimee's "Resurrection" and Astarte's Angel/Wes vid are also really convincing.

When I grow up I want to be just like Astarte.lol

Thanks Steph,

They were sooo a couple. When the fanged four took a break from killing people I am pretty sure they weren't playing bridge.

hee I really like this vid Charmax :)
I haven't seen the original, so I can't comment on how much you have improved it, but it was really well done.

I love noise filter ^_^ And you used it well to get that nostalgic thing going.

The scenes were nicely matched together, like the after-sex scene, Spike in the alley/being bitten, and the Angel/Faith and Spike/Buffy comparisons.

I like the nifty blips at 3.11 :)
And the morphing at the end looks very cool.

Thanks Adam,
I'm glad you felt the noise carried the mood. I wish I could claim credit for the morph but I only tweaked what was already there.

I hadn't seen this one before, either! Very hot stuff. I like the grainy look a lot, and there were some moments in this where the "created reality" was absolutely convincing, and I caught myself holding my breath. The bit where they're both shirtless was particularly-- yum.

You know, it's funny, but the aging of the actors doesn't bother me. I think I'd blip right over that -- unless you tried to use them for scene matching, or something. But I do know what you mean. I find it very hard to vid with first season Duncan in Highlander, because of the hair extensions. It's funny that such a small thing should throw me off, but it really bugs me.

Just funny what pings us visually, I guess.

charmax June 20 2006, 07:17:10 UTC

Thanks Killa.

I didn't think the changes in the actors would bug me either until I put one scene from the last season next to an early one *ouch sore thumb*
