VID BACKLOG!

So yes, here it is, my 4.5 vid. Sort of. At the end.

But tell me, Becka, how do you really feel? ;)

Title: Moon vs. Sun
Video: Battlestar Galactica (2003)
Audio: Sun vs. Moon // Sage Francis
Summary: Laura and Gaius engage in a rap battle. God is the corrupt judge.
Warning: OMGSWEARING!
Editor's Notes: My thanks to cyborganize, chaila43 and metatxt, without whom it would be largely incoherent. Any problems remaining are solely as a result of my pigheaded obstinacy. ;)

I could not love this more if I tried.

*tries*

*explodes*

.....

I'll have to slow back down to normal processing speeds to pick some more moments that really stand out, but the way you use motion within the clips here is killer. Ooh, and "this is one hand clapping alone..." and the way that shot of Earth repeating really hooks me into it as a 4.5 vid. In conclusion <3<3<3

ETA of nothing, I am incredibly amused by chaila and nicole's icons juxtaposed here. :D

Hahaha I noticed that too. Hee! :D

LOL, I couldn't resist. XD

(Edit: Although obviously not intending to be dickish about the message of the vid.)

Dude, the idea that you'd be dickish never even crossed my mind. Your icon is a thing of beauty. <3

Rap battle! :D

(Except I'm out of relevant icons now...Hee!)

Aww, thank you so much. It was SUCH a relief to be able to work with BSG again after working with Farscape which has such static camera movement, so it's very gratifying to know you enjoyed that.

Also, I originally only had the Earth shot during the latter "the devil" section and I had nuked Caprica at the start as the background, but changed it because it just wasn't working, and part of my reasoning was this would more strongly key into what the vid would ultimately turn into (I had such trouble with the opening trying to keep it in keeping with the earlier section - the more serious take on Laura vs Gaius), and partly it was just visual, so I'm so glad you appreciated it.

And yeah. I was...perhaps unprepared for how emotionally cathartic I'd find the final section when it opens up to the whole mess of late 4.5 fail. Which seems a bit...arrogant to say, I guess, for my own vid, but also, I guess that was why I made it?

Also, yes - those to icons were made to be posted in succession!
