Vids

[annavere]

Been trawling YouTube the past couple days, looking at 12 Monkeys fanvids. A lot of them are of the spoken word style, which is not really my favorite, I guess, but I must be an outlier because the style seems ubiquitous. After much clicking, I found a cache of song-driven ones. Here's my favorite of those so far, for very obvious reasons:

I was completely unsuccessful at locating any type of fanvid for Cassie/Ramse or Cassie/Deacon. Still, for my shipping tastes, one out of three is not bad!

Meanwhile, my brain insists that this song fits the show perfectly:

On a different note, given a week for the film to percolate I have indeed become fannish about Hard Core Logo - which mostly means dreaming up really dubious crossover ideas, but someone made an absolutely amazing John Oxenberger vid that breaks my heart and deserves to be showered with praise. A Bad Dream

Also, duh, that phrase "breaks my heart" is exactly what the unrecognizably different Sims, Cullen and Oxenberger have in common. Mystery solved.

This whole post is just me practicing my embedding skills, basically.

I'm so happy that you found sdwolfpup's vid! If you don't mind, I'll point her at your post about it—I know it will mean a lot to her.

...and, um. I LOVE Bryan Ferry, and you may have just seeded a vid bunny. Would that be all right with you? And if so, would you like to help?

[annavere]

By all means, share my post with her and consider the Ferry vid concept free to a good home. I would certainly be happy to help in whatever way I can. :)

This song always feels very 12M to me, especially Ramse. I haven't vidded it for a couple reasons (primarily that the song doesn't have a real ending). But it always makes 12M pictures in my mind. :)

Maybe this is a reach, but couldn't the song's lack of ending be considered in light of the ouroboros concept as befitting the show? I say this because it's such a fitting song, I'd love to see the result if you ever change your mind.

It could...after a bad experience or two in my early days of vidding, I made it a "rule" for myself that I don't make a vid until I know how it ends. It's been a pretty good rule, but if you think this song is worth it, I can do some more intensive thinking about it. :)

[annavere]

It's a perfectly good rule. I have one of those for never posting part of a work in progress.

I'm experimenting. It's not a song I would have normally picked for a vid, but that's not necessarily a bad thing—I get stuck in a rut! And the lyrics really are perfect. I'm feeling a pretty strong Cassie POV in it. What do you think?

[annavere]

Definitely the lyric reflects Cassie more than anyone else, although that didn't fully click until you mentioned it! What leapt out at me was the line "sweet picture tastes bitter" (which is very much in line with Cassie saying that losing the moments is what haunts her). And hatred is a huge motivator for her, so that fits, and it's such a dark song it really does match up so well with her particular character arc.
