Vidder’s notes: Many weeks ago now, halcyon_shift was randomly poking people to make

Don’t watch the show, but thought the vid was really powerful.

Also, I thought those pulsey effects/transitions (?) worked really well. Like I said I don’t know the source so I’m not sure if that was a thing within it or you put it there, but it seemed to work with the source too.

Thank you so much! The pulse effect was me. I couldn't get it to work in Roxio, so I did the vid first and then loaded it into WMM for that effect, and then overlaid that at 85% transparency on the original vid for the final effect. It was a pain in the ass, but it worked. \o/

It did work - beautifully. I already told you how much I liked that bit. :D

The whole thing was awesome! Really nice job.

*blushes* *scuffs toes*

Thank you. :)

And I should have your fic back to you in just a bit.

Heh. I'm starting to think there ought to be some sort of button or award or something for those of us who have vidded Sarah Connor Chronicles to a song named "Mary." *g*

*trots off happily to watch*

[sabaceanbabe]

Hee! I know there are at least three out there, now, and not one of them is to the same song. :P

I hope you liked it; I certainly enjoyed yours.

OK, this is where I admit how much I FAIL, because I got your email on Friday and had no time to respond until now. (With extra failings because I've been waiting for this vid since you sent me the first 30 seconds a couple of months back.)

I love it. It's a perfect match of music and subject, and I enjoyed the flash effect. It reminds us why this show is named for her, because without Sarah in the center, holding everyone together, things would have fallen apart long ago.

When I grow up, I want to be as good a vidder as you are. *hug*

[sabaceanbabe]

*hugs you tight* No worries!

I'm happy you like it. Poor Sarah. She really hasn't been allowed a life of her own since before John was born. *sniffle*

When I grow up, I want to be as good a vidder as you are.

*snerk* That's exactly what I've said to halcyon_shift, oh so many times.

SB this is really gorgeous. Beautiful song that fits Sarah Connor so well. I loved your editing, choice of clips, and loved that pulse effect you did right at the beat. It sounds like it was a bit of work, but I really enjoyed the look of it. I also really liked the bridge section from 2:37-2:47 Great job overall. I'm really impressed!

[sabaceanbabe]

*twirls you*

Thank you so much! :D

The pulse effect ended up being time consuming, but it wasn't terribly difficult, once I realized that my idea was going to work. The full effect in WMM is bright white, but that was way too much, so the hardest part was getting the videos to render at the same size so I didn't have an off echo when I did the transparent overlay.

Beautiful! I really enjoyed this. :D

[sabaceanbabe]

Thank you so much! :D
