Whoaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh duuuuuuuuuude
I think I need to watch Caprica! This is just..SO COOL!
You always pick the neatest songs! I'm always in awe of how perfectly they fit your source.
I loved all the intercutting you did of that chick and the metal cylon and then again at the end with her and 6 - very awesome.

Wheee! Thanks! And YES you do. It's a BSG fan's duty to watch the spin-off anyway, and this spin-off has THE SMARTS and THE LOOKS. ;) Srsly, you'll have a blast picking out all the little gems that are BSG references.

She's actually in the Cylon body, and the show does a wonderful job doing awesome intercuts like that itself. In fact it's supposed to represent the first steps of Cylons having independent thought, so it was important to include the conclusion of those baby steps which is Six and BSG. It's certainly my favorite aspect of the show so I'm glad you enjoyed. :D

This is so incredibly visual and kinetic, it's just overwhelming on an aesthetic level; and I *love* the concept of brand new/retro and how it fits into the themes of the BSG verse. Lyric ties are a riot - especially "fucking with my plastic"! Heh. "Be careful of the faces you're seeing" works in so many ways. And of course the connection at 1:38 is inspired like whoa.

Highlight of the vid: EYEZOOM MONTAGE!!

This song was super fun to edit to, I'm just so glad Caprica provided with enough popping visuals to do it justice! I toyed doing a BSG vid to this song for last year's CVV, but then obviously that didn't happen and I'm glad because Caprica works with it on a much greater level.

The lyrical matches are sooo lulzy, I know! I think my fave is "I take a small piece and make it breathe" and "So what you got a gun? That shit don't impress me." Heh.

Well, having the right source is half the challenge. Having an editor who knows how to use them is the other half. Thankfully you had both here.

I'm glad you didn't do this for CVV last year either. *squeezes artbitch* Seriously, it's frightening how addicted Kim is to that vid.

Your lyric ties are ftw. No lie.

I'm gonna totally fail The Eyezoom Challenge. I got a little eyezoom in my next one, but I'll BRING THE EYEZOOM with the C/K one. Believe that.

Oh I believe it. It's hard not to EYEZOOM Seeker just cuz there's so much eyezoom in yo face already. So yeah, I'm ready! Bring it!!!

Damn. This is totally fantastic and super cool times fun! Even better? The fact that you made this to get people to watch this brilliant show. I have no idea why more BSG fans aren't giving it a shot because it's so frakking good and different and yet the same, but here's hoping you convince more than a few people. :D

Whee! Thanks! I'm so glad you enjoyed. Because yeah, the more I watch this show the more I don't understand why BSG vets don't watch it. It's such a smart spin-off specifically because it's not a copy of BSG. EXCEPT IT'S TOTALLY FROM THE SAME VERSE AND THAT'S WHAT'S AWESOME ABOUT IT!

Thanks man, but I really suggest you take a look. Caprica has some fabulous world building and there are so many little BSG references everywhere, it's just fab. And it makes you think!
