BSG Vidlet: Sunday Bloody Sunday: Mambo Remix

[beccatoria]

Because clearly, ten just wasn't enough, here is the first of two planned bonus vidlets to round out my thearchive2 project to a Cylonic dozen. The next one will be for the actual bonus challenge (crossover) but this one is Mod's Choice, and the Mod chose a remix.

Title: Sunday Bloody Sunday: Mambo Remix
Video: Battlestar Galactica (2003)
Audio: Sunday Bloody Sunday - Richard Cheese
Summary: Remix of tallulah71's vid Sunday Bloody Sunday. Humans and Cylons. Are you ready to learn how to mambo?
Editor's Notes: This was cyborganize's crazed, genius brainchild, but man was it fun to make. MAMBO! I'd also like to thank tallulah71 for permission to remix her vid, and thoroughly recommend you go watch the original if you haven't seen it. Hell, if you have, go watch it again.

Wow. This was really skillful. You really made a lot of the lines of the song work in this wonderfully insane way. I was hysterically laughing and horrified (at the imagery, not your vidding) at every turn. I especially liked the way you used the Lee-Boomer gun moment and the way you juxtaposed the Boomer-Caprica alliance and then betrayal. The juxtaposition of Athena about to be raped and Gina's arm reaching for the food was absolutely chilling. Also, this vid has an impressive understanding of the complex rhythm of the song. Great, great vid.

I've never heard that version of the U2 song. What a cracked-out version. :)

Thank you! I'm especially glad the timing works in terms of the rhythm of the thing because there were a few problematic sections that I cam this close to just giving up on and living with but in subsequent redrafts I managed to get them pretty up to shape, I think.

I'm also glad that the horrified-laughter element came through strongly.

And that you noticed the rape-sequence. It's kind of sick, but one of my earliest ideas for this remix that wasn't so existent in the original was to have a massive mess of all the human/cylon sex-stuff leading up to those shots of Athena and Gina. So I'm kind of glad the response is good-chilling now, "WTF were you thinking you freak!" ;)

I'd never heard the song either until cyborganize told me about it, but I may now have to get a whole album by this guy...
