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.

Um I really like your brain a lot. This idea is frakking insane and frakking brilliant but oh the editing!!! The sequence from about :10 to :18 with the different fights as dance moves was AMAZING. The connections you made between all the clips were pretty sweet, but Gina holding the gun on Cain to Caprica getting shot, Eights shooting and getting shot, Tigh reaching back to hit Boomer and then Chief getting smacked, and Sharon's arms getting stretched out over the bed to Gina reaching for food were little bits of editing GLEE that made me squee a little at your brilliance. Also the whole overarching idea of Cylons v. Humans as a mambo makes me giggle uncontrollably.

XD I'm so glad you like the 10 - 18 section. One of the earliest ideas for this vidlet was to make it a dance vid, and while I'm not sure I succeeded on a vid-wide level, that's one section where I think it kind of does. It's also the section that went through the most redrafts so it's very gratifying to know it was worth it.

As to the rest, while my brain appreciates the compliment and while I did do the editing and storyboarding legwork on this, my brain must share credit with cyborganize whose insane idea this was originally (the mix of music/remix/themes), and tallulah71 was actually the one who used all those cause/effect disconnects in her original vid. There are quite a lot of homages/clips taken from the original and recontextualised here.

Not all of the cause/effect stuff is the same as the ones that she uses, but the very, very awesome Gina/Cain/Caprica shootout, Eights/Cally/Helo and Tigh/Athena/Tyrol were all iconic moments from the original I recut into this one. (ETA: that makes it sound like I literally lifted them from the original vid; what I meant is, I recut similar sequences from the source material).

REMIXES FTW! :D
