OM(cylon)G!

Dude, you're my hero. I had a really shitty day at work (as all days back after vaction are) and came hom to find this at the top of my flist. You star.

It's great! I'm going to have to watch it many more times before I get thefull effect of all the overlaying choices you made, but I thought the chaotic, color-filtered effect worked well for a broadcast from the cylon god. I also liked how the still pictures formed the beat to the melody of the moving footage, but that the beat almost subsumed the melody until it was the melody that felt like a background sometimes? Or, you know, stuff that makes sense.

One image that worked beautifully was the water-computer-hybird "strings" as a cage over the end visuals. Awesome.

I am also excited by the fact this is so say we all ii: makes me hope for an iii... ;)

Ick. Shitty days ay work can be awful, so it's good to know that vids can make the day suck less.

Working with the still images was difficult, I must admit. I thought it would be easier and faster than working with the actual moving clips, but damn, it has it's own issues. I wanted the stills to connect more with the hard drums. The lyrics aren't very important in the end because it's the same thing over and over again. By the end, you know what it says.

Good eyes, sniper, I'm glad you got the strings bit at the end.

I have plans for at least a 3 and 4. It depends on how the series ends.
