New vid from Escapade

[gwyn]

New vid from Escapade 2016. A HQ DL is at my site here and it's also on Tumblr here.

Civil War trailer clips spoilers ahoy!

"No Rest for the Wicked - Steve x Bucky - Captain America movies" (Watch on YouTube)

Lyrics:

My one heart hurt another
So only one life can't be enough
Can you give me just another
For that one who got away

Lonely I, I'm so alone now

There'll be no rest for the wicked
There's no song for the choir
There's no hope for the weary
If you let them win without a fight

If one heart can mend another
Only then can we begin
So won't you hold on a little longer
Don't let them get away

Lonely I, I'm so alone now

There'll be no rest for the wicked
There's no song for the choir
There's no hope for the weary
If you let them win without a fight
I let my good one down
I let my true love die
I had his heart but I broke it every time

Feedback is adored!

Jesus, that made me tear up. Loved what you did with the "I broke his heart every time" lines.

Excellent job!

[gwyn]

Thank you! Yeah, it was that whole section with "i let my true love die" that made me think, this is the best song for Bucky and Steve.

Beautiful vid. Sadly I couldn't get your site to load for me (though downforeveryone told me it was up), but thankfully youtube worked.

[gwyn]

I'm not sure why you can never get into my site. I mean, it's old code, just plain html, and my work site I know doesn't show up on mobile devices and I need to hire someone to overhaul it, but I would think you should be able to get into something that's just plain old vanilla html. I know that some of my youtube vids are blocked in Germany--is this something that only Germany might be blocking because it contains mp4 and avi files? I just have no idea…

Anyway, sorry you can't, if you want the file maybe I can send it to you. Glad you enjoyed it.

[ratcreature]

No, there are no content filters by file type in Germany. Vids can get blocked on Youtube because there is an ongoing legal dispute over licensing and what Youtube ought to pay if music is used in videos. So if youtube recognizes music by artists/labels that in Germany usually collect royalties through GEMA (a performance rights and collecting organization), Youtube blocks it for Germany the same way US tv websites use geoblocking to make sure not to deliver content to markets where they gave the license to somebody else (if you are interested in details see this wikipedia article about youtube blocking in Germany).

I tried on my laptop in different browsers earlier and nothing worked, but actually when I tried again just now I could access the site (and download the vid in hi-res, so yay!). I think it must have been a temporary DNS resolution problem, i.e. for some reason the name server that was routing me just didn't know your site, and that why it didn't work for me.

And actually your vids page, when it loads for me at all, shows perfectly fine on mobile devices (on both my tablet and my smartphone) when you go to that URL directly. No frills old fashioned html is good on mobile devices (as long as there are no hardcoded tables with widths or such). The problem is that for some reason when you go to your top level entry page, mobile devices try to request a mobile site "m.gwynethr.net" that just isn't there (I don't know why that happens, my own old fashioned web site that has no mobile version doesn't have that problem). But you can get easily past that by checking "request desktop site" in the browser menu of your device though. So if anyone wants to download your vids directly to their phone or tablet from your site they can do that with just an extra ticky box in their browser menu at least on Android devices -- I've never used Apple stuff but I assume a similar option exists there.

Well, that was HEARTBREAKING and also gorgeous, wow. I love that song, and it's great for Steve and Bucky.


(oh ghod CW is going to totally wreck me)

[gwyn]

Aw, thank you. :-D Yeah, the first time I heard that song I was like, oh man, she wrote this for Steve and Bucky, didn't she? I've been sitting on it a long time, but it finally felt like I needed to do it. Some of those images in the trailer just were…yeah. Steve will burn the world down for Bucky.

[goodbyebird]

Awwww that was a superb vid!

[gwyn]

Thank you! I'm super glad you enjoyed it! \o/

[goodbyebird]

Downloaded for keeps, so yes, I definitely did :D

[dine]

another absolutely outstanding vid - you have such a knack for finding the perfect clips to put with amazing songs. I'm in awe.

[gwyn]

Thank you! I suppose I really ought to stop making the same Steve/Bucky vid over and over, but I just think every song is about them and I have feeeels.

[the_shoshanna]

I really liked this vid -- and was startled and impressed by your use of trailers!

[gwyn]

Well, hopefully I didn't startle you too bad. :-D

This was the first time in 20 years I wasn't at Escapade to see my vid play, it was really really weird. It's especially strange when it's a vid of your heart.

[minim_calibre]

YAY!!!!!!! I mean, I think I've already conveyed my enthusiasm, but YAY! I CAN NOW HAVE IT AND WATCH IT AT MY LEISURE!

[gwyn]

Yes you can! I'm so glad you liked it, it's always great to get that encouragement when you're flying blind and no one's seen it yet.

[sweetestdrain]

Ooh, I really liked this vid! Lovely song choice. And the use of trailers really made some of the more familiar footage seem new and fresh.

[gwyn]

Oh, thank you so much! I'm v. v. happy that you liked it! (the second trailier came out the day this was due, so I'm really glad to hear that those clips worked because damn was I vidding fast and furious to include those)

[ranalore]

OH MY GOD okay okay. Umm. Words. I have them. If CW gives me even a tenth of the feels this vid gave me, it will be worth the price of admission.

I'm not crying you're crying.

[gwyn]

Squeeeeee, I'm so glad you liked it! I have to get all these vid feels out now, before CW ruins everything for me. :-D

[machinistm]

I saw the vid posted on tumblr before, and came across it again today just when the song came on a sticky fanmix. Kismet! So much love for it ♥

[gwyn]

That is kismet!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. It was definitely a labor of love--I've been so ridiculously into that song for so long and just finally said, yeah, it's time to make it.

[daria234.livejournal.com]

Totally stunning <3

[gwyn-r.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you! That's a lovely compliment. ♥

[mackiemesser.livejournal.com]

EEEEEEEEE!

That was excellent!

[gwyn-r.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! All caps Es are a huge endorsement!! :-D
