ash48Ok. So I'm a little bit excited by this...
Jim Beaver saw and COMMENTED on my Bobby Vid. A gal over on YT sent it to his face book and he commented by saying:
Okay, that may be the best fan vid I've ever seen. The editing and confluence of image and lyric is just amazing. You should be doing this for a living. Thank you. I'm really, really flattered.
And don't worry... I take "best fan vid I've even seen" with a grain of salt. Whenever someone says that my first thought it "Well you haven't seen many fan vids then"..*g*. However...The editing and confluence of image and lyric is just amazing. I will take because... damn! That's a nice thing to say. :)
confirmation is here plus some other nice comments I would never have seen with Erica informing me of this.
*bounces*

Date: 2011-03-29 11:26 pm (UTC)JIM!!! <3 and such lovely, well-deserved feedback! I always get so shocked when I hear that actors/actresses have commented on fandom-y related things!
OUR FANDOM IS AWESOME. WE ARE SO SPOILED! :D
*TWIRLS YOU*

Date: 2011-03-30 08:18 am (UTC)And yes... I was totally shocked to hear he had actually watched - let alone responded. Though I think Jim is genuinely warm about fans and fan stuff. He came across that way when I saw him at a convention here is Aus. It's lovely that he took the time.
*twirls you back*
:D

Date: 2011-03-29 11:33 pm (UTC)I knew he'd love it if he saw it!!!!! (You may remember I said as much) but I never thought he'd actually see it!!!!!! Whooooooooooooo!!!!!!!
Normally you know I'm not a fan of mixing Us and Them, but It's such a wonderfully clear (and sweet) vid that I think anyone with a knowledge of the character would be likely to get it.
Of course I'm like "that's my vid! Wooooooo!!!" even though of
Course it's not really!!!! :D :D
no subject
Date: 2011-03-30 08:24 am (UTC)YES, yes... I do remember you saying that. And me too. I didn't actually think he'd see it. Or, if he did actually take the time to say anything about it.
And the mixing of Us and Them completely freaks me out too ... it's why the "fan" episodes made me all sorts of twitchy.
But I'm glad he took it as intended - as a homage to the character rather than anything else.
And of course it's your vid!! Wouldn't have been made without you hun... :D :D
*smish* Thanks again.

Date: 2011-03-29 11:52 pm (UTC)Also in funny semi-relatedness, I was just rewatching some Harper's Island with the audio commentary on, and everytime Jim Beaver came on they all yelled "Beaver!" lol.

I think as vidders we gotta take what we can get. I have no idea why this makes me all kinds of happy. I suppose mostly that an actor from the show has taken the time to watch and comment. And to give a well considered comment at that.

Date: 2011-03-30 08:38 am (UTC)But I suppose I am also chuffed that he would be kind enough to acknowledge stuff we do too. He seems like a pretty down to earth guy. (at least I didn't slash him with anyone... ack!)
Thanks honey bun.

Date: 2011-03-30 10:15 am (UTC)Honey, that's amazing, not only did he see it, but said some really lovely and complimentary things too, which he didn't have to, so I say you really struck a chord with him.
I feel a bit dumb here as I haven't got around to watching it yet, still waiting for my sister to bring my DVD player back that plays divx so I can watch it on the bit TV!
Honestly though I'm so delighted for you, I'm with him, your talent and skill is so deserving of the praise, always had an inkling I'd like that Beaver fella and he's gone right up the scale in my estimation this morning!

Date: 2011-03-31 08:12 pm (UTC)Indeed it is! And although the "I've seen" is a good caveat, I definitely have the same reaction to "best fan vid ever" because there's so many good ones out there I don't know how anyone could choose just one. Yours would certainly be in the running though :)
Congrats!
no subject
Date: 2011-04-01 07:21 am (UTC)And yes. I kinda wonder how many fanvids Jim has actually seen anyway. I can't imagine him sitting there surfing for them. Though I know they show fanvids at conventions so I suspect he (and the other actors) would see those.
And I can never say "best vid ever" to any vid, even if I think it's brilliant because (as you say) there are just too many brilliant ones out there.
:D
