New Vid

[crimson-37.livejournal.com]

Well, it's Monday morning, with Monday morning weather and Monday morning traffic. And all the lovely PROS-ness of this past weekend maybe starting to feel a bit like a distant memory...
Well, let's not let that happen!
Let the PROS-fest continue, I say!

I have a new vid up! Would you like to see?

If so, go here.
It's...
All That I Am by Rob Thomas.
Format: divx
Size: 46.4 MB

I do hope you enjoy it.

And if you feel inclined to do so, let me know what you thought. See us creative types tend to thrive on feedback. Without it we wither and die.

Wow. I mean, really, wow. I'm.... That was beautiful. The choice of music, the clips, the emotions, all of it. Damn, but you're good, woman.

[crimson-37.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much, honey. It's so good to hear that you enjoyed it so much, helps me know I am getting it right. :)
As soon as I heard that song the clips were already forming I didn't have choice really. :)

This is an absolutely beautiful songvid. I've watched it at least three times. I usually prefer more upbeat songs, but this... The lyrics, the clips, everything is just so wonderful. I was just telling a friend about this one last night. Rob Thomas put a lot of emotion into the song, and you made it even better with the lads. Thank you.

[crimson-37.livejournal.com]

Oh wow! Three times? I'm ever so flattered. Thank you very much. :D
Yeah, Rob Thomas seems to put his all into most of his songs. The lyrics of this and the rhythm of this one in particular just seemed perfect to me.

Thank you for letting me know. :)

I enjoyed this very much. Bodie really does breathe when Ray breathes, eh? Thank you for making it and sharing it with us.

[crimson-37.livejournal.com]

Oh, good, I'm so very glad you did. I can't imagine Bodie being able to breathe without his Ray. He seems to lose his way a little bit without him there, especially when Ray is in danger or hurt in some way.
And thank you for letting me know how much you enjoyed this, it was completely my pleasure, you know. :)

Just one word: *goosebumps* O~O Love it !!
Thank you for sharing :D

[crimson-37.livejournal.com]

And thank you for letting me know just how much you loved it. It was totally pleasure, honey!

[metabolick.livejournal.com]

Enjoy it is an understatement. I love it! Especially effective are the knife/gunshots with the heavy percussion beats - you've timed them beautifully. And your transitions are so crisp. The song is perfect. Thank you!

[crimson-37.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome. :) And thank you for letting me know how and what you loved about it. I'm thrilled it worked so well for you. I just had to do that song as soon as I heard it, I didn't have a choice as the clips were forming already.

[londonronnie.livejournal.com]

Already told you how much I love this, but there's no harm in telling you again, is there? *g*

Great work, sunshine - one of the best!

[crimson-37.livejournal.com]

No harm at all, honey. *g* In fact it is most welcome, as you are.

Great work, sunshine - one of the best!
Thank you, again. *g* ::blushes brightly::

It is one of my favourite vids so far... am I allowed to say that? Hmm... Yes, I think I am. :D

[angel-ci5.livejournal.com]

Finally got to watch this, this evening.

Wow!
A-maz-ing!

I don't know Rob Thomas or that song, but it's hauntingly beautiful, and is so perfect with those clips. And the timing of the action with the beats and rhythm of the music is incredible.
I was transfixed!
The way it all flowed was so gorgeous!
Oh, and my favourite ever Bodie moment is there! (I remember now you mentioned it was in a video, when I fainted over your icon! *g*)
Thank you so much!
I have to go and watch it again right now!

*Smiles winningly*

Thank you so very much. What wonderful complements and such a lovely comment! I'm so happy it you enjoyed it so much, I really am. It's nice to know I'm getting it right. :D I'm thrilled it worked for you too, and thank you for taking the time to let me know just how much. :)

Finally got a chance to watch this - downloaded it when you posted it and have been gagging to see it! I liked it from the first but agree with what Metabolick says, what really drew me in was from the knife timed with the heavy percussion, then the punches, the way you put it together after that is just very clever! How long does it take you to do a song vid? I have been trying to put one together myself here and there *she whispers* but am sort of padding along blind in windows media player - is that how you started, or did you know a lot more about it?

[crimson-37.livejournal.com]

Thank you, I am so glad you enjoyed it so much. And thank you for the lovely complements. :) Yes, I did start out blindly on Windows Movie Maker, I was so unsure of how to do anything but was desperate to put a song, I thought was perfect at the time, together. But over time through trial and error it has slowly paid off. And there is still so much to learn, new techniques, software, etc. How long does it take me? Anything from 6 hours 'If you were Gay' [which was put together for a friend and is not to be taken seriously] to few months. It depends on how much time I can devote to it and how excited I am about a project is a main factor too {the excitment factor I have also have found is my downfall too, not giving myself long enough to step back and review what I am doing. I'm only to happy too offer any help you might need. Whether it is helping with the technical stuff, or beta-ing, or compilation, or ideas, or whatever. Just so you know the offer is there. :)

[magenta-blue.livejournal.com]

Ah you sweetheart. Do you mind if I friend you? I would love to ask you a few more questions re: vidding as well, if you don't mind? I am totally clueless with vidding, I have made a good start I think, but windows media player keeps stalling on me, and I don't know if it's because I am doing something wrong, or what!

[crimson-37.livejournal.com]

I've added you, friend away. Happy to answer what I can on email. OK.:)

[snailbones.livejournal.com]

Wow - that's fabulous. I love the way you've timed the shots/knife to the drum beats...

::scampers off to grab the rest of your vids::

[crimson-37.livejournal.com]

I hope you enjoy them as much. Thank you, I'm happy you enjoyed this one. :)

[paris7am.livejournal.com]

Late to the party, but I wanted to say how much I love this vid - it's so visually beautiful and emotionally moving. Thank you so much for sharing your creativity and love of Pros with us all.

[crimson-37.livejournal.com]

Better late than never, I say. :) It was completely my pleasure. I'm so delighted it works for you and that you love it so much. You've made me very happy, thank you. And thanks for taking the time to let me know. :)

BTW, that icon, is simply beautiful.

[jgraeme2007.livejournal.com]

Really nicely done.

[crimson-37.livejournal.com]

I'm really happy you liked it. Thank you for letting me know.

[thebodiesnatcha.livejournal.com]

I've seen some great vids but that was pure genius, the shots to the beat was great, but more importantly you have captured the real meaning behind what they both do for each other. It's not mere duty, to utter commitment & love to do what they do to keep each other alive every day. Like I said pure genius.

[crimson-37.livejournal.com]

Ah, now that is lovely, thank you. It's good to see that this vid works so well for you. :)It always makes me feel good to know that people enjoy and get my vids. It really is about them two at the end of the day, isn't it? Thank you so much for your really lovely complements, I really do appreciate it. And you're new to Pros, I think, so I'm extending you a warm welcome on behalf of us all.

Thanks again. :D
