"The years and the hours, the seconds and minutes..."
So, here we are again, with another music vid (SGA again) to offer. One that ATE MY SOUL. Nomnomnomnommmm. Mmm, apparently quite tasty! Who knew? Well, other than almost every fandom I've been in…ah well.
Vid info, download links and an extensive, rambling vidder's note
Title: What is Eternal?
Song: from Trans-Siberian Orchestra's Beethoven's Last Night
Character: Rodney…oh, OOohhh Rodney
Category: episode-related (Last Man), angst, and does Rodney McKay count as its own category?
Spoilers: Yes, yes and very much YES. All of the show, particularly "The Last Man". Will probably make very little sense if you *haven't* seen season four, so don't watch if you have yet to be shown it, this means YOU,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Vidder's Notes:
So, I first got obsessed with Beethoven's Last Night several weeks before "The Last Man" aired, and at the time, I recall thinking, hmm, "What Is Eternal" could make a fun SGA vid. Maybe a Rodney piece, maybe the whole team, whatever. With no clear ideas jumping out at me, I put it on the back burner to stew for a bit. Then they gave us the season finale and it was OMG must do this vid NOW. Rodney, oh Rodney, so, SO perfect.
And thus began several weeks of semi-permanent exhaustion. Because, beyond eating my soul, this vid also devoured most of the hours I should have been doing useful things, like say, oh, SLEEPING. But, totally worth it. 'Cause…well, Rodney!
Still being kinda new to this whole vidding 'thang, I used this opportunity to test some new techniques. Like the image matte keying feature, which opens all kinds of new doors. (Coincidentally, I also discovered my computer reeealllly doesn't like having both Photoshop and Premiere open at the same time :-p) I hope what I was trying to accomplish comes through in the end…and that I didn't clutter up the video too much. :-p
As always, I'd very much like to know what people think (truthfully, with all the hours, and amount of SOUL this has eaten up, it's more like 'incredibly anxious to know" :-p), C & C is tremendously welcome!

*rewatches*
I think that I was just watching along, not really hooked until 0:31, "the man or the moment" and from there on I was all aglee.
Then the music change at 0:56, ohhh, and the entire section following that up until 1:11, wonderful.
I love how he "erases" the memory at 1:28.
"and traded his soul for a moment of glory" almost gave me goosebumps. Oh *Shep*.
I love the effects at 1:40-1:53, did you do something in particular with those clips?
The music and Rodney's expression at 2:38. Sigh.
And then the happy memories!
"not a thought or a dream that might echo in time" and the fade to the empty corridor at 3:22, hee.
And then the deaths! Waaaah!
Fabulous, just fabulous. *happy and gleeful* Thank you. :D

Yeah, John in Miller's Crossing remains one of my favorite parts of the whole show, darkside!John is just...so...*chills* and HOT and all for RODNEY! *squee*
Re: 1:40-1:53...I used a filter to fade to B &W, with a very low opacity yellow layer over it to give it a bit of a sepia tint, also, blurred a lot of the clips and there's a black feathered frame around all the images...err, yeah, I was perhaps having a bit of fun fiddling with effects on this vid..^_-
Again, thank you for the long comments! They make my day! ^_^
