Thanks

A mighty big thanks to counteragent for her bid and generous donation to the Queensland flood appeal. Also for the encouraging feedback along the way. *squish* Thanks to starrylizard for the song suggestion. I would never have thought of this song for Bobby. Thanks sweetie. And to _sharvie_ for taking a look and making some valuable suggestions. I know you're busy so I appreciate it. *heffa hugs* And *smish* to maichan808. Look at that awesome banner! \o/ It's like she can read my mind. <33


Vid Notes

When counteragent requested a Bobby vid she said "the world needs more Bobby vids". I agreed but it wasn't until I started looking for a song for Bobby that I realised why the world doesn't have more Bobby vids. Finding a song for him was hard!

When starrylizard suggested this song I kinda chuckled initially and didn't give it much consideration. Then I listened to the lyrics and started to picture how it could actually work. So I finally settled on a song that I thought was completely off the scale in terms of Bobby's character. But in hind sight I think (I hope!) it worked ok. I liked that it gave me the opportunity to use various POV's to show Bobby's character.

For me Bobby's story is often wrapped up in everyone else's. He's like an Everyman. The "go to" man when there's trouble. I loved Weekend at Bobby's for giving us more of an insight to his character. It also emphasised how much he does for others. So that became the focus for this vid. I didn't want it to be too heavy, because I don't think the show treats him too heavily, even though he obviously has his share of heartbreak.

Very cool! Chuckle worthy in fact; kinda reminds me of a pink umbrella and a wee, small car!

Always feel a bit sad at the lack of John, when I see Bobby always there in the "father figure" role. Kind of interferred with liking Bobby for the longest time, lol!

Thanks hun. (hee... don't talk about pink umbrellas!)

Oh really? You had a grudge against Bobby because he stole John's role as dad? How interesting. For me I think I love Bobby for that very reason... that he's been there when John hasn't. I think John would be very happy to know that Bobby was looking out for his boys. :)

(Plus...trust them to cast JDM as John. He goes on to be a big Hollywood name meaning they couldn't really bring him back.... :( )

I have a soft spot for Bobby I have to confess. At least they've given him a back story - though I love that he's still everybody's go to man.

Thanks for dropping by honey. I'm almost over the trauma of the pink umbrella and toes!!

The other day I was just wishing for a Bobby vid and telling someone there need to be more Bobby vids and then LIKE MAGIC your vid appeared!

I feel like you've captured him perfectly here. Bobby! \o/

This is wonderful!!!
Great music use, especially the bom bom bom part when Bobby is fighting monsters and when they all go down the stairs at the end (and many more)!
Great vid!

As awesome as the man himself.

I didn't realize the world needed more Bobby vids until I saw this. Now I know the world needed this one. Perfect song, I laughed and got kind of teary at the same time.

This is great! The song choice was unique but it worked really well :) And yes, the world needs more Bobby video!

Hee! You and counteragent are obviously on the same wavelength...(and not just in the request for shoes..*g*)

I am so glad you felt like I captured him. I did worry about that.

Thanks so much for your lovely comment. And yay Bobby icon! \o/

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much for your lovely comment. <33

Yay, Bobby deserves his own vid. This is awesome!

[marinarusalka.livejournal.com]

Bobby! \O/

this vid is as awesome as Bobby is.

[tabaqui]

OMG, that was the most awesome thing *Ever*, just....
BOBBY! In all his cute and cuddlesome and bad-ass glory. Wheeeee!!

Love it. :)

[greyowl88.livejournal.com]

GO BOBBY!!! \o/

I totally love those Bobby-bubbles in the beginning!
Also Bobby picking up the phones. And the "yees?". And the end with the old style photos and that other song version. And the hair part, and... just about everything else in this vid!!!! :D *clap clap*

I think you potraited him so wonderfully. Made my love for him grow even more.♥

[topaz119.livejournal.com]

Oh, that was so much fun, thank you!

[antarshakes.livejournal.com]

BOBBEEEEEEEEEEEEEH!!! this was so cute <3

If your goal was to create a great Bobby vid - goal accomplished! You're right, I wouldn't have thought of this song as being fitting but your vid convinces me otherwise. As a character, he does do a lot for others, despite the eyerolling and sometimes nagging (usually deserved) - and the vid shows that perfectly. Nice work!
