Pacey/Joey Vidlet: "You Move Me"
I've just posted a mini-music video to my website. In case the artist's name sounds familiar it's because she's a fairly well-known character actress - has played sister to Luke Danes and Susan Lewis, among other things - and a fairly obscure singer of cute little folk songs. I actually found her on womenfolk.net, one of my favorite mp3 blogs where I go to satisfy my hidden yen for folk music.
Title: You Move Me
Artist: Kathleen Wilhoite
Fandom: Dawson's Creek
Summary: {...each time, I learn something more...}

I had been reading some vidding meta to occupy myself during the long weeks of summer between the time when all my friends get to go back to school and the time when my stupid nonconformist school opens its doors to upperclassman (we can move in starting the 10th, but I'm not going to get there till the 13th). And I read about song choice, and why the music needs to have more than fitting lyrics, it needs to have a driving narrative. Basic stuff, but it made me think about the Pacey/Joey project that has been lingering on my desktop. It was... a love song. A ballad. No narrative, not really, and I'd created one with storyboarding but I knew deep down it was just going to be another Pacey/Joey video with cute making-out scenes, because that's pretty much all you get with those two. On the other hand, with the first verse and chorus I'd already made a fairly cohesive little argument about why she chose Pacey at the end of season 3: the challenges, the comfort, the sexiness, all of that. So I cut out all of the song that I hadn't vidded yet, which was going to go into the later seasons, and made this a mini-vid, because I was loath to let go of it altogether... and that's the long, boring story of why this video is a little short. (Not even that short, though, because the song is slow, but it's not a full vid, it's the equivalent of maybe a 500-word ficlet rather than a drabble/vidbite.)
I finished the first draft of the Good Will Hunting vid in THIRTY-SIX HOURS. It was fucken amazing. Of course then my computer died about ten minutes later (no joke!) and had to go be repaired, but I have it back and all is intact. Yum. I love my laptop so much, even though it hardly works and definitely doesn't have adequate video equipment. At least it's here. With me. *pets computer with creepy smile*
Just kidding. But I'm glad to have it back and jump back into the second draft of "Old Man."
