"One Night Only" 11-17-2009
November 2009 Contest Submission. I used the song from Dreamgirls to depict Kates chaotic life on the run. Full of heartbreak and disappointment.
Song: One night only by Jennifer Hudson

Wow! I can't believe no one's commented on this yet! Beautiful overlays! I could see that you put a lot of time into this. I especially like the part towards the end where they kind of piled up. I thought it captured Kate's frame of mind really well. The words that appeared on the screen were cool as well. The only criticism I have is that the song was a little loud for some of the audio and it made it hard to hear -- maybe you could turn it down next time? Even just on those parts. It was still a definite gold though. Good luck in the contest!

Thanks! I appreciate it! I was kind of going for the whole "Tabula Rasa" episode and Kate's state-of-mind in that one. Oh yeah, I'll take that into consideration, I'll turn down the music a little next time- it was fine in my editor, but then when you save it, it just turned into something different! haha!

I know what you mean! That's always happening to me with borders. I get them just right and then when I go to render my vid, they move!

Yes!! I always have issues with the sizing of clips- in my editor it looks like they match and then after I save it, it's not even! It's like I get an extra quarter of an inch around the video. I hate that!! I'm getting better at figuring out the sizing that I can't see though, and I try to fix it before I have to sit around for twenty minutes as it saves!!

Awesome job on this! I really liked all the Voice Over's you added in there. The whole vid just flowed very smoothly. Nicely done.

Nice Kate vid!

Oooh; Sara that was very awesome

I loved all the connections with Kate, Tom and the plane, they were really great and the audio you picked as great too

I think in some areas though it was a little cluttered, like there were too many things going on, whereas when it moved slower with the music it flowed a lot better

great job tho!

good luck in the contest

Really nice work! I thought all of the layered overlays worked well with the song and the feel of the vid and gave it a nice atmosphere.

I enjoyed it!

The song choice was excellent. But the audio clips from the show obscured the lovely soundtrack in some places. And the video could have been a little cleaner. As mentioned earlier, the video seemed cluttered. But I love the concept you're depicting here. I actually had a similar idea for a future vid, but mine was going to be comedic.
