oh, WOW! your mind has to be an amazing place - your vids are just so damn original & inventive all the time, i love it. & this vid! this stop-motion thing you use here looks completely awesome and shiny & i especially adore the overlays you use - sometimes you show two facial expressions at once... i'm not sure why but i think that looks stunning! it somehow shows all the conflicting emotions & stuff that happens in this relationship.
& of course that brings me to: MARTHA! ♥. eeh, i love that girl - you manage to show a lot about her & how the doctor sees her in this little vidlet... *squishes vid* THANK YOU for making this :D *squishes you*
ps. ever since you told me about this song i'm in love with it & this artist. okay i only know this one album, but it's so good ;) and it makes the vidlet even more fun to watch...
I think easier to do overlays with the still images because there's less constant motion. I never think it matters if the viewer sees everything and with the screencaps it draws more attention to the changes. Basically, it's cool. JUST LIKE MARTHA.
John Butler Trio makes some cool music. I think there's a due South vid to one of their songs too. The vidder will come to when I'm washing my hair or doing something random.
... this one? probably. i didn't even remember that this was jbt until i just read your comment, huh. this just shows that it really depends on what songs i hear to go looking for more from the same artist.
Oh god, this is GREAT. It's the first piece I've ever seen that shows you how alien the Doctor really is, how he sees the world, how he experiences time.
To the human eye, this is both fragmented and obviously a unified whole, the critical Martha moments overlapping and blending seamlessly, but at the same time feeling disparate, scattered, glimpsed for the briefest of seconds. There's something profound here about how memory works, how pieces of it fade, that recalls sweetestdrain's "Don't Lose Yourself", but this is unique. I can totally believe the Doctor remembers this way.
The companions are a blip to The Doctor. I like using still images and piling layers on and it's something close to how I think The Doctor remembers people and places and times. Like one big memory of Martha that doesn't all move the way it should because his life is so vast that he doesn't remember it all, but he still remembers so much.
I remember "Don't Lose Yourself," I think. The structure was cool and the effects were beautiful.

Screencaps are great to mess around with.

What a brilliant technique! I'm in awe.

Yes! I agree 100%. And I love what you say about how he remembers. The vid definitely gets that across.
