There's not much I can add to this vidlet. The primary goal is just to get people to laugh. Because, yeah, Captain Hammer . . . is a ding dong.
For those who missed it: Dr. Horrible's Sing-a-Long blog was a three-part web tv series written and directed by Joss Whedon. Well worth watching. You can buy the series from itunes through the official website.
On the technical and stylistic aspects: I wanted to focus on timing and internal movement in this vid, particularly the "flow" of movement from frame to frame. I wanted to build more of a visual story than I have in previous vids, where I sometimes would focus more on context of a scene rather than the look, flow, and overall movement of a scene and how that could create new context and meaning, rather than having to be rooted in canon, if that makes sense.
I think I did a decent job. As it's a vidlet, it's easier to be nitpicky and focus in on small things, but it's also less of a challenge simply because you don't have clips sprawled over two, three, four minutes of time.
