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.

Hey, I would love to know about the scene 0:59 - 1:07 from the vid 'hurt'. What made you choose it and what ever else you want to say about it.

Heya hun! Thanks for asking...

So it's the bit "What have I become, my sweetest friend?" ...

I remember wanting to show Dean reflecting on how he sees and treats Sam since his experience in hell. I just loved that lyric because I felt it made him seem aware that he had somehow changed. Hitting Sam and loosing his temper instead of comforting Sam and trying to maybe talk to him.

I started that whole segment with the clip of the eye because the eye became a motif throughout the vid - a link to his time in hell. I then just wanted to show Dean loosing it with Sam and then later regretting it. "Sweetest friend" is such a lovely way to describe Sam I think. He is "sweet", even underneath his betrayal of Dean and he is certainly a friend...

The way Dean rejected Sam during Season 4 is a major reason, I think, why Sam ended up turning to Ruby instead of him. And him hitting Sam here is the beginning of his turning away. I wanted to show Dean reflecting on that.

I hope that's clear ... if not let me know hun. Thanks so much for asking. :D

Thanks, you made it very clear. I had the feeling before that I was missing something about that scene, well, now I don't anymore.
I find it fascinating how you put so much thought into your vids. I can relate to beeing so thorough and exact, I'm that way with things that are important to me.
*hugs back*
