grav_ityHere we are again with another vid I didn't plan to make. I seem to be starting a trend. Or I can't get the Atlantis clips to work, you pick.
ANYWAY, I heard this cover of Poker Face on Wednesday, and by Thursday night, the vid was already starting to take shape in my mind. In the beginning, it was more about the relationships of the women with one another, but it ended up being about their relationships with me. And how they all became the ship.
(Seriously, if you'd told me that you could turn "Poker Face" into a touching duet about a girl and her mother using only a piano and the power of Broadway, I wouldn't have believed you. But here we are!)
So this vid is about people who didn't have to love, who probably shouldn't have loved, who loved.
I think my favourite part that I did on purpose is the bit where Kara stretches the ball into the pyramid, and my favourite part that just happened is Laura climbing down the stairs in time with the music. The whole Laura bit is kind of awesome, if I do say so myself. ;)
(I have NO IDEA what's up with that first clip of Anders! I swear it doesn't do that in the non-streaming version. Which makes it much cooler!)
This vid was a lot more literal at the beginning, but when I got to the bit with Sharon, I just kind of...lost the will to do it. I didn't want it to be super-violent, which is why Sharon doesn't get any clips while she's in prison, Six doesn't get any clips while she's insane, Tory doesn't get any clips in the airlock, and Racetrack is my closer.
Picking clips for Athena was tough. I kept being all "Hey that's perfect" and then "Shit, that's Boomer." On the bright side, by the time I reached the Six section, I knew better. I'm a little surprised that I gave some of Six's time to Tory, but I think I like it anyway.
Or on Sendspace
Once again, critical reviews are welcomed. I think I did quite a bit better this time (if only because I fixed the music), but I appreciated any advice and recommendations. If nothing else, I got better at cheating with this vid, which helps cover up my mistakes. ;)
