I have also put it on YouTube, just because most XF vids end up there anyway, and this is an "official" version. The quality is so crappy, though, it makes my little vidding heart want to cry.
I started on this video sometime in late July. The pacing is slow and a little unusual, I think, and I tried to match the pacing of the clips to the music as closely as possible -- you'll have to be the judge of whether it's successful or not! It's my first vid, so I learned along the way - I had the theme and the "feel" and tone of it in mind from the beginning, but hardly did any planning regarding scenes or clips. I had a heck of a time trying to get the last minute or so of the song; and all the tiny little edits for timing just about did me in. Ah, well. I'm mostly satisfied.
"To me that's always been the message -- not fighting the good fight, which is kind of sentimental and cliche, but fighting the... fighting the, uh, the doomed fight."
- David Duchovny
