Notes

When I saw The Brady's Bunch's "Sunshine Day" on the suggested song list I knew I had found the song I wanted to use. Growing up I ADORED The Brady Bunch (shut up!). It might well be the first show I "fanned". Hee...instead of writing or making vids I used to re-enact scenes in the playground (yes! I was very young...). And I had a crush on Peter (oh be quiet!)

Aaanyway. I'm not sure where this idea came from. I just liked the idea that in Supernatural we have this really dark, intense show and yet when we see the gag reel we see the Js laughing and having a great time. Yeah...that's it.

Feedback is always treasured. :)

*apologies for the glitch at the end of the DL. NO idea how to get rid of it. Stupid thing...

I love it! You've done an amazing job of merging the actual scenes with the ones from the gag reels, really nicely done! :) And the song is just perfect <3 I adore this!!

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much! So glad you enjoyed it. I love thinking about the fun they have behind the scenes. :)

Watching this made me sooooo happy and grin like a loon!*happy dance* \o/ ;D And the movements within the clips are as usual timed perfectly with the music. You are so scarily perfect at that. This vid is just so happy making, and as I mentioned on YT, just what I needed this morning. (Not because anything bad happened or so, more because I'm a bit moody. ;) )

♥♥♥ *twirls you happily* :D

Oh, and the YT version is now blocked here in Germany. Just managed to watch it once and quickly get my comment in. *headdesk*

[ash48.livejournal.com]

YAY! I'm so glad sweetie! \o/ Thrilled the timing works (you know I angst about that stuff...;D) It was all about the happy! ESPECIALLY FOR THE MOODY! *hugs*

Damn it Germany! It's the only country this one is blocked in. :( Glad you saw it before they blocked it.

*twirls with you* <333

Brill! Puts a big smile on my face, too. On a tangent: any idea when we'll get the gag reel for season 8?

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Thanks hun! <33

And no.. no offical date that I know of. It usually comes out around September. I usually hang out for it because I love watching (and vidding) the gag reels. :DD

[stormcloude]

Ugh, for some reason embedded youtube vids haven't been playing for me lately, but I went to the site because I love your vids. Also why hasn't anyone thought of this before? It was neat seeing the gag reel footage with the show footage.

I love the footage you used where the beat picks up at about the 1:00 mark and the way the gag reel footage is brighter and more colorful-- like the sun actually comes out.

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Hi! Thanks so much hun.

Also why hasn't anyone thought of this before?

Hee... deirdre_c said the same thing when I showed it to her. And I keep thinking that surely it must have been done before somewhere.

the way the gag reel footage is brighter and more colorful-- like the sun actually comes out.

Wheeee! That was the idea!! :DD

Thanks so much for the feedback hun.

This is my new happy place!!!! I love it!

[ash48.livejournal.com]

YAY! \o/

[auntmo9.livejournal.com]

Oh my gosh, I flailed when I saw the song, before I even saw the video because The Brady Bunch was such a HUGE part of my childhood, too!

You did such an amazing job at the use of clips from the show and then weaving in the clips from the gaga reels! They were just perfect for the song and this challenge! And bonus clip from The Brady Bunch at the end during the credits. Is it bad that that I want fic now of Wee!chesters watching The Brady Bunch on Nick at Nite?

I have a headache this morning and this is going to be my happy place today.

We're gonna keep on, keep on , keep on movin
Gonna keep on, keep on, keep on grooving
Keep on singing and dancing all through the night

[ash48.livejournal.com]

YAY! Thanks hun! So glad you liked it.

Oh the Brady Bunch! For me I just love that I was able to meld my first TV love with my latest TV love. Totally incongruous -which kinda makes it even more fun for me.

Is it bad that that I want fic now of Wee!chesters watching The Brady Bunch on Nick at Nite?

I would LOVE this! I wish I could write. I'd have wee!Sammy persuading Dean to watch it with him - Dean would be all "this is so lame" and then later he'd be humming the song. (or Dean would catch wee!Sam "performing" the songs...hee...)

Thanks for the challenge. It was fun! And I look forward to all the fun vids ahead.

Eeeee! This was soooo much fun that I grinned like a stupid girl the entire time!! Thanks for starting my Monday off the right way. <3

[ash48.livejournal.com]

YAY!!! Thanks so much honey!! \o/

(omg omg Jared icon...*swoon*)

[wendy.livejournal.com]

I LOVE IT!!!! Happy place forever!!

[ash48.livejournal.com]

YAY!! So thrilled you enjoyed it hun! <333

[dragonfly-sg1.livejournal.com]

A nice pick-me-up for sure! Thanks!

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Thanks hun!! <333

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

Bouncy and wonderful!! Love how you intercut the gag reel moments with shots from the show itself. Brilliant!!

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Thank you honey! Whenever I watch some of the darker scenes I think about how sometimes they were mucking around only moments before. I know they work hard but it's great to see that they can have a great time too.

What an awesome idea and you make it flow together so seamlessly. Partly, it makes me realize how good the acting is that they can go from one end of the emotional spectrum to the other without that showing up onscreen. I have to admit that I couldn't go back and watch the agony that is the final fight scene in Swan Song until I'd watched the gag reel. I think knowing these folks enjoy their work goes a long way to balance the awful angst that is this show. It sounds crazy but it's like coming up for air to see them goofing around. It's a nice way to come back to reality.

And the Brady Bunch! \o/. There's happy making right there.

Another great piece of vidding from you. Thanks for brightening the day.

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Hey!

Thank you! I remember watching the scene when Sam had been brought back from the dead and they are eating pizza together. It's all so serious and yet in the gag reel they are spitting out pizza a laughing. And the one in the panic room with not!Mary. Jared goes from major angst face to laughing...That always fascinates me so I suppose that's where the idea came from.

And the Brady Bunch.... what's not to love! (Though I wonder what people who don't even know the Brady Bunch must think...)

Thanks so much for your comment hun. <333

[eyestoowide.livejournal.com]

This is awesome. It's the perfect song for this challenge, and I love how you mixed bits from the gag reels with the actual scenes from the show. Really nice, I'll be watching again. :)

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!! When I signed up I had no idea what I'd do. I love making the lighter type vids so I'm glad I gave it a go. :)

Thanks so much for your positive feedback. <33

[maenad.livejournal.com]

That is very, very cute. I may have watched it three times now. In the space of half an hour. :)

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Thanks!!! Glad you liked it enough to watch it 3 times in space of half an hour! :DD

User deirdre_c referenced to your post from Quick Vid Rec (http://deirdre-c.livejournal.com/460580.html) saying: [...] INSTANT HAPPINESS upon application? Well, look no more! All you need is this vid! Sunshine Day [...]

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Yay! Great to know! :))

[denorios.livejournal.com]

I don't even want to think about how long it must have taken you to match the clips to the gag reels, but this is oh so worth it! Instant smiley happiness!

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

(I have to admit I used spn_sceneit to help me find some of the clips. I'd look at the gag reel and then not remember which episode it came from.../o\)

Thanks so much for watching and commenting. <33

[embroiderama]

Oh wow, SO MANY SMILES! ♥

[ash48.livejournal.com]

They always look like they are having a good time... :)

[runedgirl.livejournal.com]

It's impossible to watch this without grinning right along with the boys -- thank you for that!

ps - This also seems to sort of represent the way the boys actually cope with the emotionally stressful scenes - by cracking each other up as soon as the cameras stop rolling (and luckily for us, sometimes before!)

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Thanks!!

And yes - I suspect the fun behind the scenes helps with the long hours and the angst in the show. I think they like to create a fun atmosphere on set. I often wonder how they actually get any work done.

[meus_venator]

Oh that was so fun!!!!! Wonderful. WIth so much angst and sadness (which I love too), it's fun to see a vid like this!
Thanks!

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Yay! Thanks so much... thanks for letting me know you enjoyed it. :DD

[cloex-brosluvr.livejournal.com]

The Winchesters and a Brady Bunch song...haha who would have thunk it? It was perfect though.

Now all I want is fic of the boys watching The Brady Bunch when they were younger (and Dean singing...'Time To Change' when Sammy's voice starts changing...lol) Dean would have totally been Greg's alter ego, Johnny Bravo.

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Hee.. I know. I would never have thought I'd made a vid using a BRady Bunch song...

HA! Fic idea.. I was chatting on the other thread where this is posted about exactly the same thing. I imagined wee!Sam watching TBB and Dean complaining but then singing the songs later. Hee... Dean being Greg's alter ego....

(Um.. is that icon a manip? I don't think I've ever seen a pic of that...?)

Thaks so much for watching and commenting.:)

This is totally brilliant and wonderful :) I'm going through a tough time in my relationship with the Show and this just reminded me of the awesomeness :D

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I'm sorry to hear you are going through a tough time with Show - it certainly tries us sometimes, so I'm glad this helped you remember how wonderful it can be...:)

[sothcweden.livejournal.com]

Yay! Another happymaking Ash vid! The way the grim and serious scene transitions to the silliness of the gag reel is wonderful. Love it!

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Thanks hun!! The gag reel always fills me with happiness.... :DD

[antrazi.livejournal.com]

So cute.

At first I was nearly sobbing because I couldn't see it (youtube block for germany) but then I saw it: the link to media fire *big smile*
Thank you for that and thank you for the vid. I always love the bloopers

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

Yeah... Germany was blocked again. I think nearly all my vids are blocked there...:( Thank you for grabbing the download and commenting. <333
