day four: VID: Comin' Home Baby (Ocean's 11)

[destina]

13 days of happy things, day four! Today, a vid.

This vid isn't new, tho most of you haven't seen it. I actually made this vid for dorinda in 2004. Yes. 2004. You read that right. She had written me the most amazing Ocean's 11 story for Yuletide 2003, Confidence Men, and I really just wanted to thank her somehow. Suddenly there was a vid, and I had made

Oh, I'm SO GLAD you're posting this at last! And I know Dorinda will be, too! *happy dance of happiness*

[destina]

:) Hopefully she'll see it. One of these days when I have ten extra seconds in my day, I'll PM her. (can you believe it's been NINE YEARS?? Yeesh.)

Oh thank goodness you did! No idea why I missed the post, but I did and this is certainly something I should not miss.

I adore this vid. ADORE IT. I have loved it since the very first moment I saw it. It takes Confidence Men and puts a chunk of it onscreen somehow, even though C.M. is mostly prequel! I don't know how you did that, dug into my brain and distilled the story and so much of what I love about these guys (and how they love each other), but you did it with such a deft touch.

The vid is shiny, stylish, flirty, warm, and wicked, just like Danny and Rusty. And your editing makes it perfectly clear that Rusty is Danny's home. ♥ ♥ ♥

The instant I get home from work tonight, I am going to download this vid so fast I might burn my fingers. Thank you so so so much for making it in the first place, and thank you triply for sharing it!

I was one of the betas! I'm so glad you're posting this again -- I've always loved this.

[destina]

I'm so glad you remember that. Man, nine years ago is like a vague blur for me. My brain isn't what it used to be. *g*

I'm probably the only person on the face of the earth who hasn't seen this film, but I still enjoyed the vid. :)

[destina]

Aw, thank you. It's an awesome movie. I highly recommend it. :)

Love. I love your vid style. I've been soaking in poor Avengers vids and I love your choice of scenes and music and the way you cut them together so they actually, you know, GO together.

[destina]

Heh, and here I thought the point of vidding was to cut scenes together that make sense. *g* Thank you!

[raqs]

Eh, kids today. Some of them are trying, but they're not there yet. :-)

You are very kind and I heart you. Thank you! (Nine years ago. It's hard to believe.)
