IJVP - Day 10!

[sdwolfpup]

Guess what I'm doing tonight! Going to see Colin Meloy in concert. Woooooooo! Which is why I chose to do today's vidlet today, otherwise it would have been the perfect way to end the IJVP. Today's vidlet was suggested by eva_mac, it's a Buffy vid to ABBA's "Thank You For The Music

Going to see Colin Meloy in concert.

I have no problem in admitting the depths of my jealousy right now. ;P

Have fun!

Thank you, I did! I also posted new songs in the concert recap, if you're interested.

EEEEEEEEEEE!!! You are awesome and fabulous and I bow at the altar of your wonderfulness.

[sdwolfpup]

Hee, thank you. :)

I will have to agree with you on ghost-Buffy and that shot of Anya (though I didn't notice that until you pointed it out). But otherwise, the *irony*, I looooooooved that. And how it just felt so natural, because hey, that's what their lives are like. ;}

And the masks that broke up the compositions into different windows--really enjoyed them. They worked wonderfully with this ep and it's widescreen composition. I'd been toying with the idea of something similar for another vid, but it's all the full screen stuff and then all you have left is like eyeballs and chins. ;D I really really liked seeing two scenes together, and the break up of the mustard-shot added a lot of punch. :)

I also love your summation of the vid in your comments. It's perfect.

I know! It made me so sad for poor Buffy to realize how crappy her life was in Season 6.

I'm glad the different window compositions worked; I'm fond of them myself but you're right that it helps that they're widescreen, I think. And I hadn't even realized that, so thank you for pointing it out. :)

I'm a big fan of ABBA personally. I think they're a fun band.

I bet I subconciously took the splitscreening ideas from Wonderfalls. Hee. Thanks!

Irony yay!

The 3-in-1 dry clean shot was very cool, I loved the smoke and fire, and I adored how you cut the Willow/Tara close and the Xander/Anya far for the split screen - and the close up one is wider! I also liked the page flip at the end.

I agree with you on the Anya cut, but I had no problems with ghost!Buffy - I thought it looked fine. The credits were good too - it felt counter-intuitive, which went nicely with the vidlet's premise.

Thanks, Flo! I actually thought the page flip worked remarkably well, which is odd because it is such an Effect. I'm glad you pointed it out.
