Haha, 'Turn On Me' lives again. I still need to find another song that fits for these two... I swear I'm going to do another one, one of these days.
Good to know you liked it! This was obviously a fun one for me to make (and I bet you can guess why.)
Ooo, that was cool! I loved the split-screens and when you do edit to the beat, some of your beat use is crazy good. Sayid's splits-attack, for example, looked great to the beat. This is quite good for WMM!
krozure: Thanks! Yeah, some of the lyrics were kind of spooky, including that one. I like the moral police too! Hopefully now that they're both on the beach and working together (without interference, too), they'll get answers from Juliet.
Split screen comes from Rehan's website, made for Vista. (The one for WMM has many different split screens; the one for Vista only has a few because it's still in beta.) It's a transition, but I figured out how to use it as an effect.
Thanks again!
That was AMAZING! Ahh does the split screen feature come with the paid version of WMM?
Freckles: Thanks! Like I said, I thought about attempting Vegas, but then when I couldn't even understand what people were trying to explain to me, figured that the headache was best saved for another day, haha.
And yeah, I do like how they've grown as a friendship through to the end of S3. I think they're very much on the same wavelength as far as 'When dangerous work needs to get done, it needs to get done,' and they both tend to be all-business when it comes time for that (obviously Sawyer is a little less successful, but, well, he was never a commando and doesn't know 37 ways to kill with a blunted putty knife. Or his feet. Haha.)
And thanks for confirming it wasn't slashy, because, like I said, I was trying to keep it as canonical as possible.
Trey: Thanks! Yeah, I know the song's a little less crisp than it could be (Napster only had the album cut, which is full of Wall of Sound/Phil Spector-type effects, which accounts for the non-crystal-clear tone), but I'm glad the video was successful all the same. I don't know htat you're supposed to understand all the lyrics anyway, as the song itself is pretty... well, strangely-written. But good to know it felt right.
And yes, I do think they've had a really interesting relationship, but then again, I repeat myself. You've outlined it nicely, though.
Uruviel: Thanks as well! I figured a Sayid and Sawyer video hadn't been done before. At the very least, I'd never seen one. And they deserved one.
Wow, cool to see a vid with these characters together! Nice beat use.
great vid Kate!!! You know, Sawyer and Sayid had such an intresting relationship. At first they loathed eachother, then somehow they formed a mutuial respect, which formed into somewhat of a friendship. You captured that essence nicley. Beat use and split screens were great, but just the song, i dunno its not your fault, it just seemed mushed together so i couldnt understand some of the lyrics (but luckly your cool enough to post the lyrics up so double props for you!!!)
I golded this for a reason.
Excellent job. I love the way you've utilized WMM. Obviously you've picked up some extra effects (like the split screen), but it wasn't Vegas and yet it was still awesome. I got a lot of respect for that.
Sawyer and Sayid have been great (especially at the end of season 3, LOVED their relationship at that point) together and this video goes above and beyond displaying that bond they share. Excellent work. I really enjoyed it.
And I don't think it was slashy at all, it was a great buddy vid.
Again, nice job. A+++++ and fifty gold stars!
Just thought I'd mention that I watched it again, and this song is now stuck in my head.
Sassy - Thanks, and thanks for beta-ing! Glad you enjoyed it. And man, people seem to like scenes of them fighting a whole lot. Haha.
Kaja - Thanks as well! I figured it hadn't been done before (and I adore both characters), and the song seemed perfect. I tried to keep it as canonical as possible as far as the grudging friendship/respect that's built up in S3 (I wanted to not have a slash video, in other words, but some of the lyrics and some of the footage was a bit tricky in that sense.) Thanks for liking the editing and beat use, heh.
