My three VVC vids
Finally. Here are the three premiering vids from Vividcon.
The first one is from the Premieres show, for the series Mad Men. I was genuinely surprised and pleased that so many people grokked it even without knowing the show, and that it didn't come up as lacking as I thought it might because I had to make it so quickly, since my first obligation was to make the auction vid. Most of all I was excited that the changeup in the middle was clear enough to people -- that it was going from that sexytimes vibe to oh, wait, this is really harsh and ugly. Yay for not having vidfail!
I just really loved this song for the show -- it's a modern song, but it harkens back to the early sixties so well with that swingy sexy vibe and the violins and most of all, the xylophone! How awesome is it to find a modern song with a xylophone?
Mad About You
Artist: Hooverphonic
Fandom: Mad Men
Is it wrong for these women to be so mad about these men? Yes. Yes, definitely.
Streaming: here and this is the embedded version from Viddler, I think this is the only one I'm going to embed here just to keep the post shorter.
Lyrics:
Feel the vibe, feel the terror, feel the pain
It’s driving me insane
I can’t fake
For God sakes why am I
Driving in the wrong lane
Trouble is my middle name
But in the end I’m not too bad
Can someone tell me if it’s wrong to be so mad about you
Mad about you
Mad
Are you the fishy wine that will give me
A headache in the morning
Or just a dark blue land mine
That’ll explode without a decent warning
Give me all your true hate
And I’ll translate it in our bed
Into never seen passion, never seen passion
That it why I am so mad about you
Mad about you
Mad about you
Mad
Trouble is your middle name
But in the end you’re not too bad
Can someone tell me if it’s wrong to be so mad about you
Mad about you
Mad
Give me all your true hate
And I’ll translate it in your bed
Into never seen passion
That is why I am so mad about you
Mad about you
Also known as kadymae's $400 vid! I could not have asked for a better person to make a vid for in the auction. We were totally on the same wavelength and we're both passionate about the fandom, and when she sent me the songs, I already had both of her options, so that was a pretty good sign it was kismet. I absolutely loved finding clips for the "And it's on" parts, especially poor misunderstood psycho killer DK in Tokyo Drift. This is the fourth vid I've made with F&F stuff -- I think this means I'm the default F&F vidder. :-) The credits are from a Motion template that I discovered accidentally one day. When else would you get to use something titled "winner's circle"? So totally full of awesomesauce.
Super Bon Bon

Move aside, and let the men go through.
Lyrics:
Move aside
and let the man go through
Let the man go through
If I stole
Somebody else's wave
To fly up
If I rose
Up with the avenue
Behind me
Some kind of verb
Some kind of moving thing
Something unseen
Some hand is motioning
to rise, to rise, to rise
Too fat, fat you must cut lean
You got to take the elevator to the mezzanine
Chump, change, and it's on, super bon bon
Super bon bon, Super bon bon
And by
The phone
I live
In fear
Sheer chance
Will draw
You in
To here
I've thought for a long time this needed to be a dance vid but every time I mentioned the perfect fandom for it, Charlie Jade, my CJ loving friends would look at me funny. I think it totally works!
Twilight Zone
Artist: Golden Earring
Fandom: Charlie Jade

The gun's still warm.
Lyrics (are there people who still need them considering how old and familiar this song is?):
Somewhere in a lonely hotel room,
There's a guy starting to realize
That eternal fate has turned its back on him,
It's two a.m.
It's two a.m., the fear has gone
I'm sittin' here waitin', the gun still warm
Maybe my connection is tired of takin' chances
Yeah there's a storm on the loose, sirens in my head
I'm wrapped up in silence, all circuits are dead
I cannot decode, my whole life spins into a frenzy
Help I'm steppin' into the twilight zone
The place is a madhouse, feels like being cloned
My beacon's been moved under moon and star
Where am I to go, now that I've gone too far
Soon you will come to know,
When the bullet hits the bone
Soon you will come to know, when the bullet hits the bone
I'm falling down a spiral, destination unknown
A double-crossed messenger, all alone
I can't get no connection, can't get through, where are you
Well the night weighs heavy on his guilty mind
This far from the borderline
And when the hit man comes
He knows damn well he has been cheated
