[2 BSG Vids] Songs of the Unforgiven: Breakups on a Battlestar [Laura/Kara, Laura/Lee]

[beccatoria]

Songs of the Unforgiven is a cycle of five orphaned Battlestar Galactica vids. They are all short (between two and three minutes). They are all designed to stand alone as well as working as a series (and in couplets) so please, feel free to watch and leave feedback on either or both.

Songs of the Unforgiven marks the launch of VIDWAR: ROBOT APOCALYPSE, and I'MA BREAK YOU UP LIKE LAURA ROSLIN BREAKS UP WITH PILOTS, CHAILA. NOT EVEN SARAH CONNOR WILL SAVE YOU; LAURA CAN BREAK UP WITH HER TOO, YOU KNOW.

Oh excellent! I was hoping for some Sage Francis is this challenge and I *love* both of these songs. (Although, hilariously, I've associated "Bridle" with TSCC for months now. ;)

But vids! Both shots of Kara at "slave labor" especially hit me. Also Kara and Laura sharing Opera House/dreamspaces/religious quests! :D The build up is fabulous and I love the closing paralleled shots too when they're in such different places, but similar states. ETAing after rewatching: And all of the other parallels from the rest of it too really, they're gorgeous!

Oh, so THIS is the coloring effects one! I love how vivid it makes those moments. And, gah, Lee's confusion/betrayal makes me want to hug him in one of those sudden sympathy moments for him that happen to me sometimes! It almost seems like they have a rare moment of understanding at the end, but still don't quite know how to bridge the space.

Sidenote: I loved having the one photograph, the one of Billy and then Jacob one, in each. They feel like artifacts of what Laura won't ever let herself forget to me, like the Olympic Carrier and the blackboard in a way, and I like the emphasis.

Yay! So happy to oblige, and, ahem, you may yet get more of him from one of us... ;)

I'm so glad the parallels in the vid work to tie Laura and Kara together; they were in ridiculous few scenes together, and some of the ones they ARE in together are faked (shared dreamspaces, and the early sickbay sequences). For all their distant storylines, though, it is surprisingly how closely these two paralleled each other throughout; the twin funeral pyres in 4x11, for example, is something the show itself juxtaposed. They really were the theological poles of the series and, as with Lee, it's tragic they never got more screentime together.

And yes! This is the colouring effects one! I'm glad that you like the effect, I was worried it was a bit random but for some reason I still can't put into words it felt right, visually. Perhaps vivid is the word I've been looking for.

It almost seems like they have a rare moment of understanding at the end, but still don't quite know how to bridge the space.

That's exactly how I feel about it. <3

Eeee! I was hoping someone would notice that! :D
