Vid Title: the girl or the weapon? Vidder: kiki_miserychic, miserychic47@hotmail.com Musical Artist: Michael Andrews Fandom: Firefly/Serenity Summary:Who we gonna find in there when she wakes up? The girl? Or the weapon?
This is distinctive and ... very creepy, actually! All of the coloring is really effective, and the oversatured red is a nice touch especially. That and the music made the dance scene feel more ominous than I've ever seen it. And the vid as a whole is gorgeous!
Here via rec from hollywoodgrrl and...I really don't know what to say. Wow. Your editing on this was absolutely amazing, especially a lot of the overlaying images. The part where you time to those pulses in the music, for example.
I came via hollywoodgrrl's rec (http://hollywoodgrrl.livejournal.com/81991.html). This is really beautifully vidded and executed. The editing is amazing. I love the dancing in the beginning with the vibrant color and it abruptly becoming muted. River is an astounding character and you've definitely done her justice here. Awesome job!
Is she the girl or the weapon? In the end it doesn't matter, because Simon will always love her and save her, and she will always love and save him, and oh the Tams are absolutely my weak spot. I love them to a ridiculous degree.
It's hard for me to get into Firefly/Serenity vids now (especially Tam vids!) because I know all the source so damn well and have seen it vidded in practically every way imaginable. However, you brought a unique and spellbinding approach to the table, and combining that with the haunting beauty of the music had me entranced. Beautiful, beautiful job.
That was so amazingly gorgeous. Just beautiful editing and cuts. I knew Summer made use of her dancing background, but I guess I never realized it was to such an extent. I felt like I was watching a ballet or something. I loved this so much, thanks for sharing it.
this is a magnificent experimental vid! I love the unusual instrumental score and the virtuosity of River's story told in colors, movement, and impressions. and I thought your psychedelic style suggested one rendering of the synthetic and mind-bending way River herself perceives the world.
Thank you. I adore Michael Andrews' score and wanted to use my favorite pieces. It matched River's state of mind and being so well. I wanted to try and capture what I could of how River sees and interacts with the world around her.
Hey, I recently lost all my files and I'm trying to re-collect all my fav. fanvids I had saved. Do you happen to have a bigger version of this for download since the stage 6 link is dead now? If not I'll happily take the smaller one but I just wanted to check first. :)
Hey, I just discovered this vid via a long and somewhat circuitous route. I love the way this vid takes place almost entirely in River's head, the way nothing is one single thing for her, the way everything is shifting and unreliable, and the thing barriers between her mind and her reality.
(The stage 6 download link is dead, do you have any plans to re-upload it somewhere else? I'd like a higher resolution vid, if you were willing.)
