This is incredibly awesome and creepy and ridiculously fabulous! Such great parallels to transition between the flashbacks and the present day moments and the tone definitely conveyed the Gothic elements of the series.
Yay! I am glad all of that came across. I love this show to a ridiculous degree, if you couldn't tell. ;)
Also, your icon. <3 So many scenes of epic women interacting, I can never remember which one is from which episode. THIS IS A GOOD THING. Oh, show. *flails*
I have no clue which episode/scene that cap is from and that is delightful because as you pointed out, very few shows would even have a scene with four female characters interacting, let alone have so many that you can't tell what scene it is.
This is excellent! Really beautiful editing and even though I haven't seen the show, the song choice seemed very appropriate. I've had this show on my instant queue for a while now, and I think I might have to bump it to the top. :)
Wow! I don't watch the show (my sister loves it), but I definitely appreciate a creepy, clever, well-edited video when I see one. Great job, I really enjoyed it.
Thank you, I am glad you liked the video, especially since you're familiar with the source.
And no, not creepy at all. I am always happy to have more people to squee over PLL with, while I work to convert everyone I have ever met to the epic, women-loving wonder that is this show. ;)
oh man, I was looking for PLL vids and someone on Twitter just recced this to me, and I completely adore it! Everything from the perfect song choice to the exploration of horror themes and the enigma that is Alison DiLaurentis, maaaan. I'm not sure if you're still watching PLL, but I would love your take on the more recent seasons, especially if it's in vid form! :D
HIII. Thank you for your lovely comments. Alison DiLaurentis and the gothic horror themes are my favorite part of PLL, besides the OT4.
I have a lot of thoughts (and possibly even more feelings) about Alison DiLaurentis being alive, something I had wished for since season one, and the return of all the gothic themes, as well as the epic subversion of them in bringing her back. And if I ever find a song to capture that, I'll definitely vid it.
I did, however, drop the show before this past season. Not because I don't still love it, but because I love it too much and it sort of stopped feeling like PLL this past season. I'll catch up, depending on where they end up going.
Meanwhile, I'm still happy to talk about all things PLL and don't mind spoilers. :)
omg I just remembered I never responded to this, sorry! I totally understand feeling like PLL has changed a lot - I'm still loving it, but I've definitely felt that way about other shows!
I do think they've done really fascinating things with Alison in the most recent season - her characterization is both well-written and amazingly (and subtly) acted by Sasha Pieterse. And like you mentioned, I love how the "epic subversion" of them bringing her back completely turns the "dead girl mystery" and "mean girls" tropes upside-down. Somehow, with PLL more than any other show I'm watching right now, I'm most eager to see meta about the show, which is partially why I love your vid so much, since it's very analytical, but still narrative and beautiful!
I'm currently doing a rewatch of the older seasons too - I'm at the end of season 3 right now - so I'd definitely love to chat about any part of PLL with you! Glad to see you're on dreamwidth too, I do tend to spend more time there and on twitter than on LJ these days! :D
I still really love PLL and what drew me to it. I just fear that it's going to a place where it will forever alienate me, so I am maintaining distance until it's done and then will make an informed decision about whether I want to watch more
