Farscape Icons

[dreamrequiem]

Um...I was having fun and got carried away. I don't make icons often (only done them twice before) but since I've recently gotten into Farscape and am working on 4 videos for it simultaneously, here are 48 colorful icons from Nerve, The Hidden Memory, Meltdown and Peacekeeper Wars as filler in the meantime

Snagged the very first one (after I stopped laughing). Why was I laughing, you ask? Well that would be because you mentioned in my journal that you'd started watching Farscape but wouldn't necessarily be making any vids for it. And here you have 4 in the works. \o/

So! Excited!

[dreamrequiem]

Oh right, I did say that, didn't I? Haha apparently I was wrong. I think that was when I just started it and was on early season 1. Once I finished the show, the ideas started coming.

Life is busy at the moment but doing them all together saves a huge amount of time. When I get the time to work on them, they're all getting done very fast. And they're all extremely different in music, style and subject matter. There are two others I'd like to make as well but they're more specific rather than ensemble works so I'll hold off and do them later. Four at once is already quite enough lol.

Hee! Yep, I think when you said that you'd only watched the first five eps and were kind of surprised that you were enjoying it. :D

[dreamrequiem]

Yes that's right, I was finding it enjoyable enough but didn't truly get hooked on it until near the end of s1 with "A Human Reaction."

Actually, I have finished or near finished drafts of all 4 videos already. However, they only include footage from season 2 and half of season 1. I still need to go through and add in material from the rest of the show o_O Since the structure of all the videos is done though, it's a simple process to swap in the right scenes and then smooth it all out into a working, structured vid in the end. What's really taking so long is that I'm renting, ripping and converting everything one disc at a time and since the versions on netflix are the older ones, they're divided into freakin 10 discs per season. Insanity! So that's slowing me down a bit...

YAY YOU'RE INTO FARSCAPE!!!!! And YAY VIDS!!! :D
It's unbelievable, it's been 10 years and I still love this show to pieces. I'm so glad you've discovered it!

[dreamrequiem]

Haha yeah, Diar's video "Dreaming" finally convinced me to watch it and I ended up loving it, which truthfully I never would have expected.

Yay Farscape! I did not know you made icons! lol

FOUR VIDS AT ONCE? You go. Farscape has been vidded to death, so it'll be interesting to see what you come up with. Looking forward to them!

ETA: I really like the first icon as well. I've always loved that scene of John and Chiana.

[dreamrequiem]

Heh yeah I don't do icons often; I only get a random urge here and there. Actually, I mainly just wanted an icon of John in that peacekeeper special ops gear, but I couldn't find any that I liked so I made one myself. And then I thought I'd make some more while I was at it lol.

Farsape has maybe been vidded to death by most people you know but for me, it's all still new lol. Can you recommend any really good videos covering the John/Scorpius/going crazy aspect? I've seen "Save Me" by HRS but can't find any others. Then again, I'm probably not looking in the right places...

Yeah, that first icon is my favorite. I reeeeally like that outfit with the red lights in the eyes. I want one.

[leviathan101]

Can you recommend any really good videos covering the John/Scorpius/going crazy aspect?

LOL, no because the last time I watched Farscape videos was like five years ago! The only John/Scorpious vid that even comes to mind is 'Scorpy went down to Georgia' which I recall as loving but that was a long time ago!

I ditto your red lights in the eyes & outfit look. I always loved that scene because of it, and yeah I'll take one too. :)

[diarmi]

Sorry for jumping into conversation but I can add recommendation for your question. John/Scorpius isn't exactly my favorite pairing in Farscape (obviously lol) so I can't remember many of them but Blitzed made a great (in comedic tone) John/Scorpius/Harvey vid - "Lover Boy": http://terrafirmascapers.com/index.php/topic,22804.0.html

Lovely icons! I will definitely be taking some!
Wow, you've got 4 Farscape vids in the works...makes my head spin! Farscape was my very first vidding fandom and is still terribly dear to my heart, such an incredible show and a visual treat as well. I'm already preparing myself for your gorgeous vids...cause I know I'll be blown away! :)

[dreamrequiem]

Thanks! I'm glad you like them :o)

Actually, four videos isn't that crazy. Not for me anyway, since I think my approach to editing is different from most others. I go through entire series start to finish, take every possible clip that there's any remote chance I might want to use, pile them onto the timeline after the music track ends and then edit them in, delete, swap around as I go along to see what works. Therefore, having four music tracks on the timeline and splicing in footage for all of them as I go along is actually a huge time saver and makes the whole process so much faster and more convenient!

Btw having now finished the show, I watched your "White Shadows" and am totally adding it to my site's rec page in the next update. Beautiful video.

I've been wanting to watch Farscape for so long! Still haven't gotten around to it.. I got the 4400 now, thanks to your suggestion, so I need to watch that one first. Nice icons!

[dreamrequiem]

Aah you should. I never thought I'd care for the show but I ended up loving it. I'm sure you would too. Hope you enjoy The 4400!
