What the heck....

Pick a clip (or a section/scene) from any fanvid I've made and comment to this post with that selection. I will then give you a DVD commentary on that snippet: what I was thinking when made that section, why I selected those clips, how I did certain effects, why I chose those effects, how I interpreted the lyric, what this moment means in the context of the rest of the vid, and anything else that you'd expect to find on a DVD commentary track.

yes I have plagiarised it from the fic commentary meme...

I'm a sucker for vid talk so.... here's a link to my vids.

Ok then . . . From "Forever":

Roundabout 2 minutes in, THE scene from Flesh Blood, with the brotherly gropping blended in.

Hi. Wow - you're really taken me back with this vid. Thanks. I hadn't watched it for ages. It's really weird watching now knowing everything that has transpired for them since then. I remember when I made this thinking that there was no way Dean was going to hell. When he uttered those words "I don't want to go to hell", I really thought he would be saved some how...

Anyway. I do remember making this section from the vid and I remember having discussions with my beta about it, because I don't think I was quite able to achieve a clear interpretation with it. And looking back on it I"m pretty sure I haven't...

The lyric is "The way you taught me to look past everything I had ever learned". My interpretation was that Dean's learned to look out for Sam, to be there for him, to care for him when he was hurt (and I thought the clip of him comforting him during his vision would symbolise that) but by making the deal he has had to look past that and do something that he knows will hurt Sam. So in fact go against everything he has learned.

I think I was thinking that Sam is the reason he's had to go against the very thing that has been ingrained into him since Sam was born and even though Sam hasn't exactly "taught" him this, it's something that Sam has made him do because he died.

Wow - complicated and I can see now that that probably doesn't come across at all. :/ Actually my brain often goes into complex and unclear interpretations .. it's why _sharvie_ is such a gem. She's not afraid to say.."What??" when I come up with these..

I'd be curious to know what came across for you in that bit... don't feel obliged to answer that of course. *g*

Thanks so much for picking out this bit. It's really made me think. :)

Sorry for the late reply . . . *hides*

It's one of my favorites, a great interpretation of a song I love, and I'm one of those weird fans who actually like S3, sooo . . . *gg*

Well, I interpreted it slightly different, but not much. I took it as Sam making him get over, uh, protecting Sam being his first priority, over thinking that it's more important than everything, more important than his own life (which he "learned" from John). And making him realise that he deserved being saved, too, partly by showing him that Sam would go just as far to protect him as Dean did for Sam, that he loves him as much.
Making sense? *lol*
