vid title: Choose Life. music: Transpotting monologue (Ewan McGregor, Irvine Welsh, John Hodge, and Danny Boyle) with Lust for Life (Iggy Pop). source: Supernatural duration: 1:03 notes: Created for Vividcon 2009's challenge show, IDIC. |
summary: What life will Dean choose?
notes added:I don't like having to expand on my vids unless I want to do so, but I feel like I have to explain my reasoning for making this vid for the challenges vidshow. The theme used for the challenge, as always, is left open to interpretation.
Simply, the Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations aspect is the different possible lives Dean has been shown within the series.
Not as simply, the theme was "IDIC," which I researched and found the concept to be a joke. The first thing I read put me off doing a challenge at all because of falseness of it, but I went a different direction than expected because I couldn't get behind the concept. Within the show it's a prestigious Vulcan award of merit, celebrating the vast array of variables in the universe – the sea of possibility that a Vulcan-trained mind can navigate. In the real world it's a cheap ploy to sell replica merchandise to fans that the actors wanted nothing to do with. The challenge was kind of hollow for me. I decided to go with how the Vulcans went from violent wars to generally adhering to a philosophy of non-violence. The vid explores if Dean would trade his violent life for a more peaceful one, which is a lie.

Very cool! I look forward to parsing it more on my rewatches.

Date: 2009-08-22 05:24 pm (UTC)Dean's face on "wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning" kills me. Not!Sam on "choose your future" gives me chills.
Awesome, AWESOME ending.
P.S. Rennie!!!!!
P.S.S. This has been the VVC vid that has most consumed me this year, which is not surprising since last year it was your I Want You (So Bad).

Hopefully I can make something next year that consumes you too!
