BSG Vid: Trapdoor Trigger

[beccatoria]

Ironically, my first occasion to use my shiny new icon for a vid post and it's not even about the Cylon. I'm sure the subjects of this vid would disapprove mightily. ;)

Title: Trapdoor Trigger
Video: Battlestar Galactica (2003)
Audio: 90-mile Water Wall // The National
Spoilers: Through 4x14 Blood on the Scales.
Summary: The arbitrary brutality of civilian life.
Editor's Notes: As always, my thanks to cyborganize for the beta. Also I used Pinnacle to edit this, which was an...interesting experience. I'm still trying to work out how I feel about it.

OH RELIEF. When I first read that first part, I thought you meant you wanted to vid this song and I'd stolen it from you, and I was like, NOOO MAKE IT ANYWAY! But apparently not and I can just be happy I made something you wanted appear in the world AS IF BY MAGIC. ;)

I'm really glad you like it and yeah, I'm completely on the same page with you about Laura (SHOCKING, NO?) She's not oblivious at all, but I'm sure that's how she seems. I mentioned in another comment, one of the reasons the white board fascinates me so is that to me, it's clearly such an expression of her love for her people, the only way she can care for them all at once. But at the same time it's such a coldly mathematical thing; so many terrible things have been done in service to it. What does it look like from the perspective of the numbers?

Anyway, thank you for your feedback. It's always wonderful to receive!

Oh dude, no not at all. (How do you steal something you don't know about?! Silly!) I'd only ever thought "that should be a vid." But I think that about half of the songs by The National. Clearly I had no brilliant idea like this one.

I THINK YOUR BRAIN MIGHT ACTUALLY BE MAGIC.
