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, beautiful and heartbreaking and OUCH. I love the minor characters (Gaeta is my especial pet, and that shot of Lee walking right by him without a word was just... OUCH.), and I wish the show gave a little more weight to their perspective. I also loved the Kendra and Laird sections- that was just heartbreaking. and the cyclic aspect... funny in a not-haha sort of way.

Gorgeous stuff!

Thank you! I'm really glad that it's connecting with people. The view of the civilian characters and minor characters like Gaeta and Dee and Laird are severely underrepresented. I kind of liked the chance to delve into that and show all my favourite character (Laura) as someone terrifying and distant. I also feel I have a real new appreciation of Gaeta after having vidded this.

Thanks again for taking the time to leave feedback. I really appreciate it.
