[personal profile] gnine
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* ^_-

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!

[livejournal.com profile] bluebrocade recced this vid. All I can say is, WOW! I've only just "discovered" SGA within the past month. I don't yet know the eps or characters well; didn't recognize all of the clips, and have never heard the music. But what an incredible combination you've created. Thank you for sharing your talent.

Do you know the comm [livejournal.com profile] vidding? You might like to announce this there, to get more exposure. (Although, with four pages of comments, it seems word is spreading quite nicely.)

Anyway, well done.

Heee, thanks so much! ...Meep, haven't seen much yet...err...sorry for spoilers? So glad you liked it, though!

Hmm, I think I'm actually a member of that comm, just never got around to posting...

Thanks for the comments, always makes my day! ^_^

sorry for spoilers?

No worries! [a] You warned about spoilers, and [b] without context, I'm not sure clips can be 'spoilers', and [c] I'm one of those weirdos who prefers to know what will happen later; I want to know the destination will be worth the journey.

Anyway, I've rec'ed in my LJ, too, so you may get even more hits.

Oh, thanks for the rec!

...And, er, yeah, I totally go for the spoilers as well, much to my sister's chagrin...she keeps trying to remain unspoiled and I keep squeeking and meeping and then she's like "what? what?...fine, just tell me"

Oh, fifth season spoilers, why much you be to tantalizing and yet so far away! Is it July yet? ^_-
