New Vid: Duet (Due South, Fraser/RayK)

[wistful_fever]

This video probably broke my brain a little. Just so you know. It's my love for Due South right there, encapsulated in four minutes, and it's the first of TWO Due South videos that I've been working on, if you can believe my brain has allowed that. And by allowed, I remind you, it's broken now. Never to be the same.

Wow. I'm so moronic about why I love vids - I only know that I love yours, and I love this one. I suppose one of the things I *know* I like about it is that you use images I don't usually see in F/K vids and make them work with the music and the vision of Ray you give us, which has that poignant quality that the best of the series gave us. Just - wow. Wonderful.

You are NOT moronic. That's a wonderful comment! ::hugs:: Thank you.

Given that I know ab-so-lutely nothing about this fandom, should I download this one? You know I love your vids SO much, but I fear that everything will fly right over my head if I'm not careful. I guess what I'm trying to ask is, is it context-heavy? Can a non-fandom person still catch onto something if not everything?

I have no idea if I'm an accurate judge, even if it's my own vid. I know that I try to make my vids as open to the widest audience possible, but I don't know about this one. It's very... character focused. When I think about it, it's kinda my love song to one of my favorite shows/relationships ever, and I know for a fact that there ARE some context-necessary shots that may or may not be made clear by everything else. I really wouldn't blame you if you didn't download. :) Especially since it's a longer vid, and who would want to be subjected to a long vid that makes no sense to them? I do not count, because I am just WEIRD about vids. I download fricken everything now. I'm a freak.

I did end up downloading it, because I don't think I'm physically capable of not watching a new vid of yours, and as expected I was like "huh?" all the way through as regards content. From a tech point of view, though, it was very well edited (not that I'd expect anything else from you) and I especially liked the use of stills. The movement also was a highlight for me - it's so fluid and just extremely well-placed.

The shot at 1:35 I really liked in particular. The fire shot at 2:25 reminded me of that moment in Queer, and the whole "flame on the beat" thing just always gets to me. (In a good way, obviously! :D ) From 3:39 onwards, when the vocals scale that peak, it's just non-stop chills, especially when the cutting starts going all frantic, and I don't even have a clue what's going on! So much kudos for that.

Hee! Nah, she'd probably not be too happy. :D

And how true is that. Callum IS RayK to me, so seeing him on anything else, even if he's such a wonderful actor, is always vaguely unsettling.

hi. hi. this is amazing. You blew me away. just - you get their physicality down so well, SHOW it to us so well in the vid. ALL of it, every bit, just so - details their characters and their relationship for me. And my god, what you did here with the punches is just - astoundingly amazing. Dude. You rock.

THANK you. This video really cost me a few strands of hair or more while I was making it, so I'm glad someone is getting enjoyment out of it. :D
