New vid - Veronica Mars

[gwyn]

A brand new vid, hot off the... er, computer. It's a Veronica/Weevil vid, because I am just that kind of a girl. I think they were meant for each other and should get married and somehow his criminal past will be magically erased and she will become a famous FBI agent and he will be her kept husband who tinkers with cars and motorcycles and they go off on his bike and have crime-fighting hot weekends together.

Anyway.

27 Jennifers
Artist: Mark Doughty
Fandom: Veronica Mars
File: Divx 26.4 MB

And then there was her...

Please let me know if you have trouble DLing or watching the file (especially if VLC doesn't work on it). I've had a lot of problems getting web files after all the upgrades necessary for Leopard, and not everything is working right, and this is the first file I've had with that .divx extension. My site's no longer password protected, in case you didn't know.

This one's for you, kassrachel. I hope it's not too crappy because there is nothing worse than a crappy dedication. And it's 96% violence-free! Squee, crit, links or recs, and pimpage are all more than welcome.



I think I just wanted to make a really light, fluffy, happy vid for a change because of the usual depresso-rama after VVC that I get into. I wanted to try to make myself happy. greensilver's Veronica Mars lunch at the con really made me nostalgic for that wonderful show, and especially for my beloved Weevil. Sadly, the best we ever got on the show was a hug, and what I wouldn't have given for even a peck on the cheek, but maybe someday I'll get someone to make a photo manip of them or something.

The song has been a vid for me for years, but it wasn't till VM came on the air that I thought it could really be a vid with an actual fandom. I have a Lord King Bad Vid idea for the two, already, but I wanted to make something light and cheery. And I just had to RUSH -- I mean, I don't usually make vids this fast or give urgent requests for songs and what have you. Unfortunately I also wasted hours and hours trying to make a cute title card, but with my inability to do anything Photoshopish, I failed miserably and had to resort to plain ol' credits.

To me, the school is filled with "Jennifers" -- all the bubble-heads and vicious bitches and whiners, but Veronica never fit in with that group, even when she was in it, so she's the "her" Doughty sings of, the one who stands out from the crowd. And of course, Eli knows that so very well.

I didn't get this beta'd so it might suck, but I was happy with it, I guess, and didn't really feel like getting my glow tarnished by anything critical -- which isn't to say that if you have something critical, you can't say it, because you can, now that it's done and out there. I believe anything that's out there is fair game for comments of any kind. I hope you have as much fun watching as I did making.

Lyrics for 27 Jennifers
I went to school with 27 Jennifers
16 Jenns, 10 Jennies, and then there was her

It’s the sweet shine of,
Yeah, force of divine love
The blessed arrival of you

You might be the one that I’ve been seeking for
You might be the strange delightful
You might be the girly who shall end all girls
You might be the sweet unspiteful

I rode the bus with 27 Jennifers
15 Jenns, 10 Jennies disapproved of her

Yeah, get from my sight, man,
Gladness is a blight, and
Happiness stinks up the room

OH MY GOD eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

You can't see me but I'm jumping up and down with glee.

My train of thought went like this:

Hey, new vid from Gwyn, awesome.
Hey, it's VM, that's even more awesome.
OMG IT'S FOR ME!!!!!!!

::clutching vid to my heart::

Okay, hang on, I'll be back in a second and maybe even coherent by then.

Oh, Gwyn, this is adorable! The song is awesomely disenchanted high school and fits VMars perfectly, and I love what you did with the rectangular and square frames and also with the jail lineup.

Oh my god, AWESOME. This makes me grin and at the same time (and actually, for the first time in a while) miss VM. I love what you did with the cropped frames, or whatever you would call that effect -- it works really nicely with the song's quirky tone and emphasizes the pile-up of all those useless Jennifers. Useless except the one that Weevil's been seeking for, of course. (And yes, he and Veronica were totally MFEO. I am with you.)

So much love for this vid!

(Also, how much do I adore that you vidded a Mike Doughty song? EEE. He is totally my wisecracking songwriter crush.)

Eee! I really enjoyed that!

[musesfool.livejournal.com]

This is adorable, and the song is *perfect*.

This is so totally adorable, and it made me so very happy, and cheered me no end! I wasn't particularly a Veronica/Weevil girl, but in retrospect he's just about the only guy that I think could keep up with her, and he's definitely the only one that was really always there for her.

Love. It.

This was great! I loved it. :D

[belmanoir.livejournal.com]

LOVE LOVE LOVE! Awwwwww. I love Weevil and Veronica together, they are so cute and devious and HOT and YAYAYAYAYAY!

[gattagrigia.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, I automatically thought VM and Torchwood Veevils - hmmm.... if anyone could do it it'd be Gwyn...

but yes to this vid! What i liked the most was the 27 jennifers on the third iteration turning into VM - brilliant!

[bop-radar.livejournal.com]

I don't watch VM (or didn't? has it ended?) but I thought this was very cute.

[ncvids.livejournal.com]

Weevil/Veronica, OMG YAY! This is awesome, I love it.

[dualbunny.livejournal.com]

This is so much fun! :) I was also always a fan of the V/W vibe, so it was especially nice to see this show up. Also, is it too early to get in line for the LKBV? ;}

(I posted a comment 2 days ago where did it goooo. Woe.)

This was really sweet! Excellent song choice. I was really fond of Weevil and the snarky banter he and V had going. He had that right combo of not putting up with her shit but also being loyal.

This was adorable!

I was pointed here by par_avion, and I'm so glad I was, because your video was fantastic. I loved the song, loved the editing, and I'm not sure if you did color correction or something, but the whole things just looked fantastic.

Duuuuude! This was absolutely delightful. It made me all nostalgic for VM.
