Man, a movie meant for vidding, as the vid shows to excellent effect. Love the visuals here, the glam, the sex, the drugs, the confusion/blending of genders and music and relationships and careers, and a great choice of song, down to the warbling whine to go with the UFO.

Thank you so much! And I'm glad you noticed the UFO whine -- I had that clip placement in mind since the beginning. *g*

That's gorgeous and sordid, and I love that Mandy's perspective is so prevalent.

Thank you! I <3 Mandy, so she was always going to take center stage in this vid.

This feels so fresh--except how the vid itself is not fresh, heh, it's dirty and sexy and strung-out and gorgeous. But I've never seen it vidded like this. Wonderful work!

[ghost_lingering]

Thank you so much! It's funny -- I was worried I'd be retreading old ground with this vid, actually, so it's a relief to hear I wasn't!

This is really incredibly weird and beautiful.

[ghost_lingering]

Thank you so much! Glad you liked it.

I have to say I was amazed at your musical choice for this. It wasn't the kind of music I associate with Velvet Goldmine but it was perfect. Perfect for the three different viewpoints, and spot-on for the sex, the drugs and the heartbreaks they all experienced. I really enjoyed it.

Thank you! I've always wanted to vid this song to a film that explores fame and Velvet Goldmine does that so well. And since the film itself is fractured into different people's POVs, I decided to give it a go, despite the genre difference. I'm glad you thought it worked!
