Notes

This is a first for me. A promo vid for a fic. I have to say I was thrilled when geckoholic expressed an interest in Se7en. We came together and said, "yep, let's do this." Hee... and we did.

Making this has been awesome fun. Not only working the fab geckoholic and seeing this wonderful fic come together but also (finally!) having a good reason for using effects.

Go and read the fic! It's wonderful. You don't need to know the film Se7en to follow it. It stands alone. But if you DO know the film you'll love seeing how Gecko has managed to weave it into the story.

Comments are lovely.

Ooh, great job! So she's redone 7? That should be a really interesting fit. You definitely had the eerie part of this down -- I'll bet a lot of people pop over to check that out :)

Thanks so much! :D

Thanks hun! :DD

And yes. She's used the elements from the film and woven them into a casefic. It's pretty damn creepy (like the film) - it also feature post hell Dean which gives it an extra edge.

Thanks so much for watching.

WHEEE, WE DID IT! (I know, I've been saying that a lot today, but, you know, there were times when I wasn't sure that I'll manage to pull it off, so, small miracle here. *gg*)

And, it deserves to be said over and over again: you did SUCH a great job with the vid! It fits the fic perfectly, and the movie too.

Thank you so much for pitching me this idea, and for tackling it with me. YOU'RE AWESOME.

♥!!

*twirls you* It's DONE! It always amazes (and excites) me when a little idea or discussion turns into an actual thing!

It's been so much fun. It was a new vidding experience for me - I loved the idea of using fic for inspiration. :D

I'm looking forward to reading the fic again - see what you tweaked etc. :D

I hope you get lots of readers - it's an awesome fic! I just LOVE IT!

Thanks so much for working with me. I've had a ball. <333

ooooo, this was wickedly creepy hun! Fantastic job on this. I totally have to check out the fic after seeing this!

[bowtrunckle.livejournal.com]

OMG, this is a terrific preview vid--it makes me want to read the fic. It seems like the music would be a challenge, but, wow, it really sets the tone. I also really like the font you used. :)

[dragonfly-sg1.livejournal.com]

Nicely done!

[harrigan.livejournal.com]

Wow - this is creepy and jarring and effective!

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Thanks sweetie! <33

And DO check out the fic.
*hugs*

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Yay! I'm glad it makes you want to read the fic. That was the aim. (And do check it out. It's very clever).

The music was fun to work with actually. There's so many strong moments and beats. (It's the same music from the film).

maichan808 for the font for me. I loved them as soon as I saw them.

Thanks so much for your feed back.

Ohhhhh that was one kickass trailer! AND YOU TELL ME YOU CAN'T USE EFFECTS?! liar.

I loved loved loved the titles and the echo effect - it worked really well with the music and with the idea of the fic, which I will definitely read later today :D

Can I ask where the knife with blood clip is from?

[greyowl88.livejournal.com]

WOW!............
........
..............................CREEEEEPY !!!

The effects are great! And the sudden pop up of the image with the maggots on the arm made me feel like puking. lol.
This is really a great promo! :D *clap clap*

[smilla02.livejournal.com]

Wow! Seriously creepy and unsettling, but also very pretty (in an unsettling and creepy way). Can't wait to read the fic. <3

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :D

[ash48.livejournal.com]

yay! Glad you thought so honey. :D

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Wheeee! That's honey! I'm so thrilled you liked it. It really gave me a chance to flex my effect chops. Great fun to play with layers and the echo effect. :)

Please do check out the fic. It's a great casefic. :)

The knife is from Bloodlust. It's when Gordon dips the knife into the jar of deadman's blood and holds it up. I've always loved that clips. :D

Thanks again BB! Your feedback means the world to me.

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Thanks honey!!! :D Oh man...I just had to use the maggot clip. In fact... it was one clip I put in that didn't appear in the original story. I told Gecko I could take it out but she added a description of maggots so I could keep it in. \o/ :)

(hee... a little bit different to the ducks eh?)

Thanks again BB! :)

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Yay... so glad you thought so hun. Unsettling and creepy and pretty is good! :DD

I'm sure you'll love the fic. :)

[altruisticinteg.livejournal.com]

When I watched Se7en it gave me such particular feelings and you channeled the same feelings with this trailer. You are such an awesome vidder! I love your vids and this one is no exception!

[greyowl88.livejournal.com]

(hee... a little bit different to the ducks eh?)

Indeed...

[lightthesparks.livejournal.com]

This is absolutely fantastic. Perfectly creepy mood, awesome scene choices and great editing. Brilliant work!

[geckoholic]

IKR? There's talking about it and that morphs into actual ideas and then everyone gets to work, and in the end, this. o.O So amazing, that's why I love teamwork. :D

And I love the idea of inspiring a vid, heh! *gg*

THANK YOU, once again. You're so not the only one who had a ball with this. ♥

(Also, icon love. Bobby!)

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

That is an amazing video! Eerie, in the spirit of the film and an absolutely brilliant trailer for the fic. *stares in awe*
