Summary The story behind Duck Nation.

Links: You Tube | 4Shared



This is galwithglasses fault! She mentioned this song to me and the idea of making a Duck Nation vid was born. After listening to Jared's duck story, seeing the duck photos on SuperWiki, seeing the show/duck manips AND the con footage I felt the urge to document Duck Nation.

Thanks to maichan808 for the lend of her graphic eye. For a rather simple vid there was a lot of fiddling around. I have to say the thing I am probably most proud of is something that hardly anyone will notice. maichan808 suggested giving the polariods drop shadows. Well. I had NO idea how to do that so I played with all sorts of things until I discovered laying a feathered slug (black clip) underneath the picture gave me the effect I was after. Damn fiddly and I'm sure there would have been a better way to do that but I was pretty happy with the result. *g* I can't use Photoshop so all the pics are done in my editing program (Final Cut).

Thanks to missyjack for help with the photos and for the final manip in the vid. <3

Big thanks also so starrylizard helping me kick start this vid. I was stuck for a way to present the duck pics and she suggested the polariods (I have mentioned I use other peeps brains yeah??). Thanks also for the cheerleading sweetie. <33

And finally *heffa hugs* to greyowl88 for the boost of confidence (and for just...everything).

Also, the other manips are from Superducktral

I hope you enjoy. Comments are lovely. :)

CRACKALICOUSLY DELIGHTFULLY DUCKTASTIC!!!!!

This is absolutely wonderful! You are a brilliant rocking thing for making this!

My new happy place!

[ash48.livejournal.com]

YAY! I'm glad you like it honey.

I gotta say for a while there I didn't think it was going to happen. I'm glad I persisted though. It was such a fun moment in fandom. :DD

<333

What the Duck?!

[yourlibrarian]

Agreed and I'm glad someone documented it like this :) I loved seeing all the creative ducks!

[stir-of-echoes.livejournal.com]

Thank you for making my day. I have absolutely heaps to do today but now I'll be smiling throughout :)

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Yay! Thanks sweetie. I'm glad it made you smile. :D

I hope you get everything done you needed to. <33

[greyowl88.livejournal.com]

Sorry, Kitty, they all have been sent to the SPN set ..


(lol)


♥ LOVE, LOVE, LOVE for this fun video my Dear!!! :D

[ash48.livejournal.com]

HA!! That's awesome! :DD

I'm glad you liked it honey. Thanks for your feedback! <3333

[bowtrunckle.livejournal.com]

LOL!!! I love that the clip of Jensen hacking the duck is set to "Rubbery Duckie I'm awfully fond of you".

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Hee... that was one clip I knew I wanted with that lyric. :DD I got the feeling Jensen really wasn't too happy about all the ducks...

<33

[el1ie.livejournal.com]

Hee! Awesome and what a lot of work cutting in all those duck photos. What a talented fandom, some of those ducks were amazing! I haven't much of a clue about what was going on apart from the bits you've filled me in on in here, however, the way you cut in the con story from Jared this really made sense! I'm not sure if I should be overly worried about that...

Great job honey, you always have such a unique and inventive quirk with these vids that make them instantly watchable and memorable - BRAVO!

Now off to watch you last one, good grief I'm behind!

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Oh man... I think that's why this vid took so long. Putting all the pics into polariods took forever.

So many of the ducks are amazing. Fans really went to a lot of trouble to make them relevant to the show.

Thanks hun.

(I don't usually put out two vids so closely together. The other has been finished for a couple of weeks so I made this one in that time. Well, I started it a couple of months a go.)

Bwahaha! Nicely done!

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :DD

[maenad.livejournal.com]

... I may never stop giggling. :)

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Glad you enjoyed! :DD

[dotfic.livejournal.com]

LOL ducks! <3

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Hee, yes. Ducks. You would've thought. :D

<33

[fryttu.livejournal.com]

You're a genius! Thanks for making my day with this delicious crack.

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much! :DD

Hee... icon! :)))

[harrigan.livejournal.com]

This is SO awesome! It's even something I can share with friends and family who don't watch SPN!

{{{hugs}}}

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Thanks sweetie. And yes... hardly any reference to the show at all. :DD

*hugs* back.

[galwithglasses.livejournal.com]

Whoooo Hoooo! It turned out awesome. I couldn't figure out how it would be possible to add in all the stills and manips people had done and you figured it out. The polaroids are a great idea. It's cool to have con vids in there too. Who knew you'd get Jensen vs. Duck or Sebastian/Duck? Thanks for running (swimming?) with it....

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Thanks hun! I really had no idea either. I knew what I wanted to use but piecing it together was a *head scratch* for a while. I started with just have the stills by themselves but felt it was a bit boring. starrylizard threw a few ideas at me and that one stuck. :D

Thanks for the song! :DD

[linda3m.livejournal.com]

OMG that is hilarious!

[ash48.livejournal.com]

hee! Glad you thought so. :D

[deangirlxoxo.livejournal.com]

Love to bits. Thank you so much for doing this! :D

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Yay! And my pleasure. So glad you liked it. :D

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Ooh I like the new frame you chose and yay! So amusing! It worked out great! :D

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Thanks sweetie! I wasn't feeling too great about the wooden on and maichan mentioned it also, so I stuck to the cheesy, but cute duck one. :D

Thanks so much for your help and cheer leading.
:DD

[zebra363.livejournal.com]

Lots of fun! Those manips you used are great, especially Dean in a suit holding a duck. I hadn't heard the story of why they wanted ducks in the first place, so that was interesting!

[ash48.livejournal.com]

The manips are wonderful yeah? I cracked up when I first saw them.

The reason why I wanted to make this was so those who hadn't heard the back story had a chance to hear it. :D

Thanks for watching. (Not as gory as the last one. Though... it does have Dean slicing up a duck...*g*)
xx

Oh and...


SHOW TOMORROW!!! \o/\o/

[zebra363.livejournal.com]

Last Supernatural Eve of the year... it's better than Christmas! Enjoy!

LOVED IT - I THINK I SAW MY DUCK

[katrin vanhelsing (from livejournal.com)]

Yup I sent in two ducks (angel and devil of course). This is so cool. I think I even saw my ducks somewhere along the way.
Many thanks. You made my day.

Re: LOVED IT - I THINK I SAW MY DUCK

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Yay! I was hoping some peeps would spot their ducks. :D There were so many awesome ones sent in.

Thanks for stopping by. I'm glad you liked it.

[counteragent.livejournal.com]
