Tony Stark meets Warren Zevon

[marinarusalka]

Hey, look, it's my first attempt at a vid! Made in WMM, because I'm still in the process of learning Premiere. (Actually, when I started working on this, I told myself I was never going to bother with Premiere, but apparently vidding is like crack -- you keep wanting more and harder stuff.) Thanks to heidi8 and marycrawford for lots of valuable advice, and to counteragent for

No pointing and laughing, simply MAD APPLAUSE!!

That was fantastic! First vid? WOW! *bounces*

(Why don't I have any Iron Man icons? This is troubling. Here. Have Jared instead.)

[marinarusalka]

Thanks! This vidding thing is fun, but I feel totally clueless. Fic, I know what I'm doing. Icons, more or less. Vids? Not a clue.

And that Jared icon is adorable. :-)

That's SO good!! And I'm not even in the fandom so I'm unbiased. Love the song and the careful selection of scenes that fit it.

[marinarusalka]

Thank you! I did try really hard to make the vid accessible to people not in the fandom, but of course it's hard for me to judge from the inside. So I'm very glad to know that it worked for you.

That is awesome. You created a strong sense of mood and the song and images seem to fit well. Very cool. :D

[marinarusalka]

Thank you. That song just kind of screams "Tony Stark," doesn't it?

[counteragent]

<---Look, it's an Iron Man + vidding icon!

YAY!!!!!! Kudos to you! It looks great! Really wonderful job for a first vid, and I just think it improved so much throughout the process, too. This last version has a nice musicality to it that the low-quality source made it hard to appreciate in full.

Anyway, welcome to vidding! It will eat your brain. :D

[marinarusalka]

Thanks so much! I totally couldn't have done this vid without you.

[marinarusalka]

Also, that icon rocks!

This was great! My first vid wasn't that long ago at all, so I know how you feel. The learning curve is steep though. :D

I think the best thing about this vid is that it made me understand Tony Stark better than another other Iron Man vid I've seen previously. The song, particulary the lyrics "Son, your shit's fucked up" / "my shit's fucked up?" is darkly ironic, funny because it's painfully true. And the song really works for the character and sets the tone for this vid nicely.

[marinarusalka]

Thank you! "Made me understand Tony Stark better" is the best compliment I could've hoped for.

I'm already plotting my second vid, so I guess I'll find out just how steep the learning curve is. :-)

[mresundance]

Good luck.

At the time I wrote that first comment, I hadn't watched the movie, either. The vid motivated me to go and watch it! So glad I'm did. Now I can get that much more out of the vid. :D

[marinarusalka]

Yay for watching the movie! I love pimping my fandoms.
