After the depressing meltdown of my external hard drive and losing so much stuff (the vid files were backed up, but the two working vid files can't really be backed up due to size, and all the music is gone till I have time to figure out how to get it off my iPod and safely back onto the new hard drive), I figured I'd inaugurate the new drive with starting over again on rebuilding the updated Bride of Don't Fight in the Snow, and making a vid. It's so unbelievably, deathly hot here that all i can think about is sitting, even though it's stifling, and working on something. It's not like I could actually go outside and do something productive. Hell, just swapping out a lightswitch today had me in a puddle of sweat!
But I need your help, oh Buffy and Angel watching friends list! (Which I realize that a large percentage of is right now either at Writercon -- I seethe with envy -- or Comicon, but alas) I definitely feel like the old Buffy and Angel series database is getting a bit musty/rusty. I can recall a lot, but there are some things that are failing me as possibilities.
I'm looking for some more thematic clips, and then some really specific ones. I'll list the thematic first:
- Any clips where guys are in danger from women, preferably if the women are supernatural (along the lines of Xander and the preying mantis teacher/ inca mummy girl/Drusilla in BB& B). Bonus points if the women aren't just kicking their asses, but about to eat/torture/kill in some elaborate way, and if the clips seem visually funny, that's great (like the way Xander panics in BB&B). I don't want to use anything that's painful or sad, like Gunn killing his sister -- this is for a lighthearted vid.
- Clips where guys are reacting in a shocked -- shocked! -- or scared way. Facial reactions are often the hardest to scan for when you're looking for clips, and 7 and 5 seasons' worth of scanning for looks of surprise or horror are maybe a little too much without help. The funnier the better -- early Wes is obviously going to be a good resource. (I need a LOT of these, so feel free to suggest like mad.)
- Clips where anyone's kind of skulking around or using funny physical motions (a la Spike's hilarious mugging for the cameras in Restless)
More specific:
-something/someone that would work for "Jekyll" and a different one for "Hyde"
- Some kind of "zapping" kiss -- stunning or knockout or something a long those lines
- A guy shouting loudly, or longly
