VID: Another Life [TSCC - Cameron/Derek] [Tightpresent Exchange]

[beccatoria]

Title: Another Life
Video: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
Audio: In Another Life // Vienna Teng
Summary: The next time around, or perhaps the time before last. Cameron/Derek
Vidder's Notes: This was my first exchange, and I made this for hmmyeahokay. It was actually pretty fun and challenging as my recipient's first choice was a ship I'd never really considered before, but the characters' rare interactions are fascinating. I hope I did it justice.

I really love the choice of the music here, and the way you capture that push-pull relationship between Derek and Cameron. Great job!

[beccatoria]

Thank you! Derek and Cameron really do have a fascinating relationship - I'm glad the exchange pushed me toward examining it!

This isn't a ship that I ship, but I find it really fascinating. Inspired song choice.

Thank you! I feel similarly - I vidded it for an exchange where the first choice request was for this ship and it wasn't one I had previously thought much about, but through working out an angle from which to vid it, I began to find it really fascinating. Even if you don't ship it, these two have a really interesting and possibly underappreciated dynamic.

I really liked the images you put together for the verse about China in the Cultural Revolution - taking a geographically, time-restricted thing and making it work for something so non-related is great!

[beccatoria]

Thank you! Yeah, I was really...worried about that verse because it was so specific? And I really thought it was gonna kill me trying to vid it to the point I decided I liked the song but kind of...didn't pressure myself to mentally hook that verse up with images. Then when I actually started and DID start noting down specific images I wanted to use, out of the blue, it was the FIRST thing that came together and I sort of felt like...it shouldn't fit that well? So it's immensely gratifying and fun to hear it worked for you too. Thanks for letting me know!

well, I totally wouldn't be watching a Cameron/Derek vid (anything involving Derek) if it weren't YOURS. but of course because it is it's totally interesting! I love that you managed to find yet another angle on TSCC's apocalyptic psychodramas. the bridge with all the technology is obviously my favorite, but there's so much twisty fascination here.
