New Vids-The Sound of Music
Jun. 5th, 2010 11:45 amI think of all the subjects I vid regularly, this movie is one of the most emotionally present for me. I know some people think musicals are hokey, but that's okay. I really have to thank my mom for recording this for me when I was a kid. I'm sure she doesn't remember doing it, much less realize how much the movie has stayed with me, even influencing my writing and the development of many of my protagonists. (Although she probably knew I wanted to marry Captain Von Trapp for a while. *snerk*) I have some others in various stages of completion, but I decided to share these two this weekend. Hopefully a few people will enjoy them as much as I do.
Where Will We Be? is an older vid, relatively speaking, but it's one of those that I consider to be a benchmark for me as a vidder. I'm still pretty proud of the editing, I have to say. I'm not sure why I never shared it before. Maybe I made it during one of my self-imposed fandom exiles or something. Whatever the case, here it is now! Preview image is different from the one in the
Sweet Maria was the product of some random inspiration, and actually it was a bit of a response to the first vid. Ever since I made it, I had been trying to do a Georg/Maria vid that I actually felt satisfied with, and suddenly I realized that I needed to do something more lighthearted because nothing else was going to feel right after the effort and energy that had gone into Where Will We Be?. So, I went for something simple and fun instead of trying to do anything technical. I think it came out pretty well, especially considering that I'd had like zero sleep when I did it. Anyway, 1:00-1:12 would make the whole thing worth watching even if it hadn't.
