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.

Yay! I'm glad you liked it! And absolutely, they've seen horrific violence. Their story is so sad. I'm not entirely sure it is possible to reconcile that, the same way I'm not sure it's possible to reconcile what the Cylon did to humanity. But I do hope it's possible for these people to learn to live with their lives. Although, as I hope the vid shows, it's a fine line between the ones who can and the ones who can't. And if they can't, well, that's brutally understandable?

Anyway, thank you for taking the time to leave feedback.

I have to admit, I'm not sure which explosion you mean; there are a few in there but neither of them use freeze frames so it may just be an accidental trick or your playback?

As to using Pinnacle, it's...okay. A little weird, but I'm persevering. At the moment the thing I like most is the ease with which one can use overlays whereas in WMM it's very hard if you want any sort of fades included.
