Vid: This Year (Doctor Who)

[fictional]

I made my first vid, you guys! It was on Windows Movie Maker, which I found to be a little bit like trying to make a painting with a rock instead of a paintbrush. Er, not that I've ever done that.

ANYWAY. Here it is. (On youtube. God only knows for how long. Aren't they yanking vids like crazy? What streaming site are people using these days? Are there any?) Concrit & tips very, very much appreciated.

Song/Artist: This Year by The Mountain Goats.
Vidder: kalichan
Fandom: Doctor Who
Summary: Every waking second, he can see: what is, what was, what could be, what must not. And he's gonna make it through this year if it kills him.
Spoilers: Through The Next Doctor.
Pairing/Characters: Mostly gen with hints of Nine/Rose, Ten/Rose, Ten/Simm!Master, and a smidgebit of Nine/Jack. Also features Martha, Sarah Jane, and Donna.

lyrics:
i broke free on a saturday morning
i put the pedal to the floor
headed north on mills avenue
and listened to the engine roar

my broken house behind me
and good things ahead
a girl named cathy
wants a little of my time
six cylinders underneath the hood
crashing and kicking
aha!
listen to the engine whine

i am going to make it through this year
if it kills me
i am going to make it though this year
if it kills me

i played video games in a drunken haze
i was seventeen years young
hurt my knuckles punching the machines
the taste of scotch rich on my tongue

and then cathy showed up
and we hung out
trading swigs from a bottle
all bitter and clean
locking eyes
holding hands
twin high maintenance machines

i am going to make it through this year
if it kills me
i am going to make it though this year
if it kills me

i drove home in the california dusk
i could feel the alcohol inside of me hum
pictured the look on my stepfather's face
ready for the bad things to come
i down shifted
as i pulled into the driveway
the motor screaming out
stuck in second gear
the scene ends badly
as you might imagine
in a cavalcade of anger and fear

there will be feasting and dancing
in Jerusalem next year

i am going to make it through this year
if it kills me
i am going to make it though this year
if it kills me

Btw, while I don't know how to vid, I am a storyboarding GOD because I've been doing it since I was tiny because of what my dad does -- so if you ever need help with that.

Please make the Torchwood vid too (it works for both generic Torchwood and heartbreakingly for Jack/Ianto), and so our themesong! Yes yes yes.

Also, dude, DEscensus trailer -- we just need to find a lot of non-HP footage (I have some ideas) to tell our story.

Thanks! I'll take you up on it. I could see that I improved in figuring out how to do it in even this one vid, so onwards and upwards!

I will totally do it ;-) I think I have a better chance of getting people to watch my shit in TW fandom anyway, right? *g*

I THOUGHT THIS TOO. I have no ideas, but you will tell me yours. Eeeee. Goblin music all the way.

Also, the trailer music, remember the trailer music!!!!

Do you have storyboarding paper? Do you want storyboarding paper? I HAVE SUPPLIES.

[kalichan.livejournal.com]

YES THE TRAILER MUSIC.

*bounces* I don't have it any more though, cos my harddrive crashed. Do you?

And paper... hmm. Intriguing notion. I guess writing things down would be better THAN KEEPING IT ALL IN MY HEAD.

*headdesks at self*

There is special paper for storyboarding. Maybe it no longer exists in the modern world, but we have closets full in my parents house. It has TV screens on one side and then lines to write descriptions and time stamps on the other. Then sometimes you put the TV screens are heavy cardstock and make a flipbook even, to see how it will work. It's so great.

Anyway, I totally do. I listen to it all the time. On my ipod. will send.
