Speaking of vidses...

gwynSo far, it looks like the Pretenders' "Don't Get Me Wrong" wins by a mile in the next Keen Eddie vid sweepstakes (sorry, Jo). Not that I won't do the others eventually, but at least this helps me since I could not make up my mind at all.
But in the meantime, my summer fling with cars and hot boys continues, and I have a new vid for the Fast and the Furious up at my site. It's QuickTime, 20.3MB, to "Stripped" by Depeche Mode. Thanks again so much to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mlyn for the song. The site is password protected, so if you don't already have it, I'll send it to you tonight after you send me a request. Not that I actually think anyone's interested in this besides three people I know.
I have never ever made a vid this quickly; I think all totalled, it was less than ten days, maybe even just a week that I actually spent time on it. I'd forgot how much I like doing movie vids, since I haven't done one since the Soldier vid way back when. The fact that there's so much less capturing you have to do (even in a two-hour movie, you really only get about maybe 40 min of clips max, which you then will distill even further to your 3 or 4 minute vid), and that you're either concentrating the storyline of the movie or retextualizing it completely, is kind of fun and very different than working with series television.
But I'm obsessed with these boys for right now I suppose because of the summer heat, and rather into this fandom, which always means vids. The vid hasn't been betaed, but I was really happy with it, so I slapped it up anyway. I kind of wanted to focus less on the racing and crime/cop story, to keep it on the relationship between Brian and Dom and that core part of the movie story that attracts me so much: two people who want something they can't have, and how much they need from each other. For some reason that really resonates with me and even though the song verses have some truly 'tarded lyrics, the chorus parts nail the relationship.
And not that in a million years anyone would rec it, but if you do, please link to the main entry page so people can see the password request link.
