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] utopiantrunks! *cough* ^_-
Size: ~56 MB
Format: .avi
Notes: Vidder's note on just what addled thoughts were passing through my brain as this vid sucked hours, days, WEEKS from my life, can be found after the download links.

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!

Great!

Wow, I really love this video! It's a great Rodney-Video and also a great video of "Last Man"!!!! Especially the last 1 - 1 1/2 Minutes are really, really great!

I love the scene, when you replaced Atlantis, which is rising from the ocean, with the Atlantis in the desert! That looked very, very good! And also, when you put Atlantis in the front and in the background we can see some scene's of the daily life on Atlantis: Awesome!

Every time I watch the video, I find some more great things...

Thank you very much for this Video!

Heee, thank you! I have to admit, the ending of the video, last verse, is my favorite. It's what I could picture most clearly when I started the vid and also my favorite part of the song, so I'm happy it so worked for you!

Thank you so much for commenting, means a lot! ^_^
