I've wanted to make this pretty much since the movie came out but I've been beating my head against a brick wall trying to make a different vid that won't come together. Pretty soon I think people will pay me to stop making Captain America vids, I have so many song ideas. But in the meantime, there's this.

I should note that some spots of the vid are significantly different than the one I showed at the con and that is on the DVD. I wasn't happy with that version and made some changes later--sorry for the inconvenience.

ETA a couple things: I really regret saying anything about the person calling it cheesy and poorly edited--I just thought that was hilarious in a snickery sort of way, and I didn't mean for everyone to feel bad for me, so I'm sorry about that. Honestly I was just poking fun at it as much as anything. And 2, someone informed me that trelkez made a Cap 1 vid to Sorrow a few years back. I didn't know this, and this developed entirely independently of that.

With the caveat that I am a known connoisseur of cheese, I personally found this gorgeously understated and raw. I also though the editing was really good, and I loved that you pulled in not just the Steve/Bucky, but Steve's grief over Peggy and the Howlies and his sense of dislocation in time. He's reaching out to Sam and Natasha, trying to fit into the twenty-first century, but what's the distant past for the rest of the world is only last year for him, and I feel like the song and clip choices really pull in that quiet sense of unreality. And then to end it on that shot of Bucky learning about himself is just to bring that sense home, I think, because neither of them chose to wake up in this brave new world to find themselves legends and ghosts.

OK JUST PRETEND I SAID THIS TOO
BECAUSE IT WAS WHAT I MEANT YES

especially the song and clip choices really pull in that quiet sense of unreality. And then to end it on that shot of Bucky learning about himself is just to bring that sense home, I think, because neither of them chose to wake up in this brave new world to find themselves legends and ghosts, that's beautiful and just what the vid is about, yes. Living in the house that sorrow (grief) builds.

Yeah, I kinda regret saying anything about that comment now because I worry that people feel the need to make me feel better, and that wasn't what I wanted--I just thought it was hilarious and eye-rolly. But anyway, thank you for this lovely comment. I'm so obsessed with Steve trying to both survive without Bucky and survive in this strange new awful world, and now Bucky's going to have to do that too, and I just hope they can together.
