Laura Roslin Vs. Kanye West

[beccatoria]

Hi guys, 

So here it is, Laura Roslin Vs. Kanye West.  Go on, you know you want to watch it...  :)  

Plus, I need a decent Roslin icon, considering how obsessed I am with her...  But I can't find a good one.  Making this video was fun, because I couldn't decide if it was crack or serious.  I kind of like to think it's both.  There are some editing moments in there I'm quite proud of considering I'm using a fairly crappy programme and can't even manage basic effects.  

It was also a bit of a challenge to make a good video for Roslin, I think that's why I haven't tried before (which is surprising, since this is my fourth BSG vid, and, like I said, obsessed) because...yeah, mostly all she does is sit and talk.  It's awesome and terrifying talking, but it doesn't make for a great vid.  'Til now!  I think I did a pretty good job of "editing around her" so there's plenty of action.  

I should stop blathering now - here's the vid! 

Title: Jesus Walks
Artist: Kanye West
Character: Laura Roslin, also some Lee Adama and Gaius Baltar with a side of Cain
Spoilers:  Up to 2.20
File Size: 16.5 mb
Summary:  Laura Roslin is pulled between practicality, mortality, morality and religion.  Which is just a fancy way of saying, President Roslin's not allowed to rap about Jesus...  

This video contains strong language.

Whoo!

I don't know the fandom, but whoo! Seems like a very cool concept. Cool song. Cool woman. Very cool, dude. :D :D :D

Yay! She is cool. She's awesome. She's like, wandering around tossing people out of airlocks and planning assassinations and stealing babies (all in the name of truth! and democracy!) but, like, EVERYONE thinks she's this quietly authorotative sweetheart who's filled with compassion and grace. Like, fans of the show, AND all the people ON the show who she's ruthlessly manipulated. And she IS full of kindness and compassion and grace. Seriously, the character is fascinating.

As if you couldn't tell by the gushing I'm doing when I know you don't know what the hell I'm talking about! :)

I don't know your tastes well enough to say whether or not you'd like the show, but it *is* excellent in terms of quality.

Hee, I'm never suprised that I met you through Christina, you both have that adorable quality of going off on heavy-duty fannish rambling at a moment's notice ;-D. It's so cute.

She also speaks very highly of Battlestar Galactica, it does sound like something I'd like. I'm quite a fan of quality; that's what I like about Farscape. I'm sure I'll see it eventually *g*.

...at least it's cute! :) You should pick yourself up a copy. Then you'll know what my heavy-duty rambling is *about*. Of course, that might also render it less cute. AH! DILEMMAS!

Re-upload, please?

This link is still active. You can either watch it streaming, or under the streaming options (which are under the little embedded video thing) there's a place to click for a direct download. Then you've got to enter a couple of letters from a picture to prove you're not a robot, and then you get the file.

Simple, huh? I've been having trouble with YouSendIt lately...

Hope you enjoy! The amount of feedback I've been getting for this thing is INSANE. Like CRAZY INSANE. Like most people on galactica_vids get five to seven responses if they're popular. I got over twenty. I kinda...don't get it. But I'm not complaining. And I'd be interested to hear what you think!
