vid - All These Things That I've Done - Battlestar Galactica

vid title: All These Things That I've Done
music: The Killers
source: Battlestar Galactica
duration: 3:51
notes: After a conversation with beccatoria about the duality of the sleeper Cylon (the final four - Saul Tigh, Sam Anders, Tory Foster, and Galen Tyrol), I wondered how they saw themselves. I think Tigh sees himself as two people, while Tory sees herself as "becoming" her real self with the knowledge of her true nature. Tory is an extremely complex and interesting character that I had to explore her in vid form for the Manifesto Challenge at thearchive2.
summary: Tory Foster's Manifesto. A season four Battlestar Galactica character study of Tory Foster.

TORY VID! YAY!

This is great.

You use the acoustic version of this song to great effect, and the way you pick up on the choppy strumming with the cuts really pulls away from the general perception of acoustic as being something softer. It also works really well within the confines of the vid.

Basically I want to praise the editing style, but I'm not entirely sure how, because what I mean is...you make really good use of the fact the acoustic track is choppy in terms of the cuts, but also in terms of when you let the clip hang because there's silence in the background, when the single guitar has stopped strumming.

And as always, I love your use of lyrics. :)

Thanks for sharing!

CYLONS ARE LOVE!

I like editing to acoustic versions. It comes with the original version, but there's a new layer. The sounds are different.

I've been trying to use longer clips and get more emotionally involved for the editing. I usually go for flash over emotion. Hopefully I'm finding a good balance.

Thanks!
