Old Vid, New Link!

Hey guys! Courtesy of the awesome [livejournal.com profile] projectjulie I have hosting for my most recent BSG vid - "Jesus Walks," - music by Kanye West.

So if y'all want to see what boils down to, "Laura Roslin's not allowed to rap about Jesus," edited to reflect my new (comparatively) UBER WEBSITE (it has text and everything!) - still courtesy of the awesome [livejournal.com profile] projectjulie (previously she was just hosting that one vid).

Jesus Walks

And now, I shall mourn the fact that a) I won't see the season premiere of BSG until at least tomorrow evening, b) I still can't find webisode 10, though I found it dead interesting that in webisode 9 Tyrol is in touch with Boomer who's feeding him info about resistance members being release, suggesting she knows about his involvement, and c) I want to make a new music video though I have neither the space nor the time to do so. It would be Laura & Lee centric and, unfortunately, I would actually try to use higher resolution source material than the above. Grr.

Nice job with the editing. It can't have been easy with a rap song. Lord knows I wouldn't have the patience. And I really appreciated so many L/L clips. ;)

If it makes you feel any better, Webisode 10 was not very good. I expected a lot more leading directly into the premiere.

I was surprised to hear Tyrol mention Boomer. I guess we aren't spoiled for everything! Does she know about his involvement in the resistence or was she just letting her old boyfriend know his buddy was being released?

Boomer knows Tyrol pretty well. She also knows that Jammer must be involved in the resistance - his whole interrogation scene played like Doral knew. I can't imagine she DOESN'T know Tyrol's in on it. Either she's surreptitiously helping him a little or just figures she might as well cut the guy a break for old time's sake and lets him know Jammer's being released since...well he's being released anyway and Tyrol's going to be talking to him within a few hours either way. What I found most interesting was the casual way that Tyrol spoke about her - that must be SO weird for him.

Thanks for the compliment. It was...an interesting experience, but I really loved the idea of mixing Roslin with the song and that kept me going when the clips weren't working quite right.

Also, yes, the L/L clips were intentional! Kind of like a stealth ship snuck in there. I really wanted to keep Lee as a larger presence near the end of the vid, even if I weren't working to a slight agenda, because in a totally shipless view of the show, Lee's very important to the political aspects of the show that centre on Laura. Unfortunately he drifts away from both Laura and the political side of the show at the end of the second season so I just...couldn't wangle any extra clips. But I was pretty pleased with what there was.

oh hey, I just recced your vid using this link, and then realized that the DL URL is outdated -- edit it to reflect the shiny new vids page? or if you suggest a better LJ-post for it I can change MY links.

Thanks for the recc!

Also - I just edited the above post to link ot the website, so you're welcome to edit your recc to the shiny dirt simple! vids page if you like, but it's also accurate to just leave it pointing here too. :)
