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.

Richard Cheese makes me laugh at the most inappropriate things...

He's a freaking genius.

HEE! Oh that was great Becca! This is my favorite vidlet (I'm a sucker for anyone dancing or faux-dancing).

I especially liked how you transitioned from Colonial Day to the shot of Kara and Six fighting like it was some new dance move. Really great.

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. :)

OMG, that was frakking hilarious!!!!!! And also very creepy and horrifying. Perfect!

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.

Oooh I love this! It really reminds me of the opening Jitterbug scene in Mulholland Drive, where the joyousness becomes this oppressive fantasy that cannot be sustained and so instead reflects on the desperation of the subject(s).

also... Gaius as Richard Cheese makes me giggle. So appropriate.

tooooniiiiiiiiiight

I love all the baggage that the song comes with from the original vid. It's like a cover of a vid the same way there are covers of songs, which is an extremely cool concept.

I love Richard Cheese's music. He's almost made for vidding hilarity.

Gaeta and everyone looks ridic dancing, which is awesome. I love how you edit everything like a bizzare dance, even the ships. I love how everyone shoots everyone.
