I had no idea! Very nice on the audio cutting; it sounds great.
but also to set up the unbelievably cheap joke that follows.
God, but hysterical. I laugh *every* time I watch the vid. And I hadn't thought about it being especially shocking after the bit of melancholy (which I also really like).
And the benefit of squeezing in the penguin is you got to keep a tiny bit of Eric.
they say you never find a cop when you need one must be my lucky day, I guess -- I got one on each arm and I think we might start dancing 'til they turn to me and say "what's a nice girl like you doing shoplifting? what a shame..."
Hee.
Also, I love that you were so willing to give me credit for the show's effects. I was so sorry to disillusion you!
"Sorry"?! No way. It is totally "soaring". And I refuse to give that up. Baby! Flying baby! ::covers ears and lalalalas over that part of seeing the lyrics for real::
I just love this vid so much. It's like the show and the song are soulmates, and you are the most benevolent PTB ever to let them have this beautiful vid together. But they are still jaded and a bit discontent, and that is where the perfection lies.
I see in your post about getting the idea for it, that you mentioned just having watched the last episode. *ahem* I *still* have not watched the unaired episodes. Even though the DVDs have been all warm and happy on my shelf for...ever? They're smashing my record of how long I managed to put off the real end of Firefly (by doing the same thing with the DVDs) into tiny bitty pieces. ;D
Rewatching this vid is cracking my misplaced resolve so hard...
Never seen this show before but I think I may have to with all the cool effects and funny expressions. And talking animals, let's not forget that. I really like how even though you used a lot of the shows effects, you made them fit the vid seamlessly so I didn't even notice. The motion throughout was really gorgeous. The song really did fit well with the show and the voice seemed like it was perfect for Jaye. The quarter and the intercutting was really well done and fun to watch. I liked how the clips changed for the melancholy sections and the baby "soaring" (didn't notice the sorry til you mentioned it) was too perfect. Sometimes those kind of match ups just work out, they're fun. Great vid and I enjoyed seeing your commentary on it :)
Yeah, so, I've been meaning to leave feedback for this vid for um...[glances at watch]...two months now? (I am so awesome!) And I swore to myself that I'd have it in front of me so as to leave a more coherent comment, but between your commentary and the fact that I watch this vid LIKE IT'S MY JOB, that is no longer necessary. Let the work procrastination begin!
sdwolfpup and I have discussed how we're the kind of folks who approach vids first and foremost through music, and this vid is a fantastic example of the battle I constantly have in my brain: I know I love a vid, but I can't decide if I love it more for the vid itself or for the music. This arises when a) a vid is just so brilliantly edited, b) the song choice for said vid is perfect, and c) the song happens to be quite amazing on its own. You win on all fronts. (GO YOU.) I constantly find myself singing this at random times throughout the day (particularly to say I knew exactly what I'm doing would be lying which is not only true, but deliciously fun), and I always see the vid in my
( ... )
God, this song. It really is terrific for Jaye, isn't it? I've had this CD for years but didn't remember the song until I was playing it on a lark one day and said "wait -- what is Jaye doing in my stereo?" The soaring baby is seriously the cheapest joke ever. I still laugh at that part myself; glad you like it too. *g*
You're so right about this vid being exactly what it is; I'd just come off making one very intense vid and was ramping up for the next one, and this idea was the perfect change of pace. It's just... Jaye, in all her feckless glory and nutcase charm; I'm so glad that that came across! And I am just more pleased than I can say to get such a lovely comment about the vid, because it continues to be one that I enjoy a lot and am still very pleased about, and your affection for it makes me smile and smile.

the first verse is about shoplifting

Thanks for doing this!
