new vid: Electrical Storm

[nicole_anell]

This is my belated birthday present for lyssie, although I hope prolix_allie enjoys it as a Sammy gift for her too. (Actually it turned out almost every Kara/Anders fan that exists was born in September, so um, it's for EVERYBODY I guess? But mostly you! *gestures vaguely*)

Song: "Electrical Storm", U2 (William Orbit mix)
Vidder: Nicole Anell
Fandom: Battlestar

Yaaaaay, thank you for the comment! Lately in vidding I've really been thinking (sometimes, uh, overthinking) about lyrics and interesting ways to use them, without being tied to the entire song being about rain or something. *g*

[rampant_geekery]

That was frakking gorgeous. I actually teared up. GOD SAM WHY MUST YOU MAKE PUPPY FACES SO GOOD?

[nicole_anell]

WHOA, that's quite a compliment. (To me and to Sam, I guess.) Really glad you liked it! (LOL icon!)

[beerbad]

Awesome. The song works so well! And yay for great vids that don't rely on tons of special effects. :)

[nicole_anell]

Thanks!! I was skimming through my iPod for vidding ideas and it really struck me as a Kara/Anders song.

Some vidders know how to use effects with really amazing results, and then I guess there are others who use them as a substitute for something that's lacking. I use them pretty rarely only because I don't know how to do that many. :)

Wow, that was gorgeous and intense.

And it was great meta for Sam's character too, not just his relationship with Kara. Especially the focus on him in the second verse: that was just perfect.

Loved the whole damn thing of course--you kick ass nicole :D

[nicole_anell]

Eeee, thank you so much! :D I really wanted it to stand as an Anders character study as well as a shipper vid, so I'm glad it succeeded there.

(OMG this reminds me I still have not seen your most recent vids, including the slash one. *runs off to dl*)

*happysigh*

Yes, we were all September babies. *nods*

One thing that vid proves? Kara and Sam are second only to John and Aeryn in touchy-feelie, getting in each others' spaceness. Man. (also, they're hot. and angsty)

*sniffles and crosses her fingers* (why isn't in January yet?)

touchy-feelie, getting in each others' spaceness
Seriously! I love doing couple vids because you end up noticing just how much they're all over each other.

(why isn't in January yet?)
To give us more time to read/write fic and look at Trucco's arms and have happy thoughts before Ron Moore goes back to doing horrible things to everyone the final season?

*watches a few more times*

IT IS SO PRETTY. *siiiiiiiiiiiigh*

[lyssie]

erm. Also. the big version freezes at 3:52. In winamp, I can just drag the bar past it to about 3:57 and it starts again. It. Uh. Just crashed windows media player (which is crap anyway).

(I forgot several times to mention, because it is pretty and thus I forget)
