This is one of those vids were I have a plethora of people to thank because honestly, this vid would never had survived without them. Due to their cheerleading and amazing ideas this vid finally came together in a way I'm happy with. Massive hugs and thanks to _sharvie_my wonderful beta, maichan808 for her feedback and generosity (she actually purchased part of this song for me!), mithborien and lsketch42 for their amazing ideas and help and to the lovely deirdre_c for her feedback and encouragement. :D

And thanks to Michael DeSanto for giving me permission to play with his original footage. And for telling me he liked it! :D *phew*

Vid notes:

When I first saw Stupornatural I so impressed with the work that had gone into making this fanvid. The idea, the script, the production and of course how friggin' hilarious it was. I also saw that there was a trailer, photos, the soundtrack and even a gag reel available. That basically gave me the idea that a fanvid would be an interesting addition to that. I know. I'm kinda mad... So this is basically a fanvid of a fanvid. :)

I tried to approach it as if it were like any other episode of Supernatural. I tried to use the footage in the same way I would use Show's footage. That in itself presented a few interesting challenges. But also, finding the balance between dialogue footage and non. And with the help of the wonderful ladies above I think, I hope, I'm got the balance right.

Anyway. I'm blathering on because I'm a bit nervous about this one. It's not really like anything I've done before.

No money made but comment are gratefully accepted. Even of the concrit variety. :)

I didn't know about Stupornatural before seeing a link to this vid so I quickly went off to watch it before catching this. Thank you for introducing me to it, it was hilarious! And this parody is absolutely wonderful! It reminded me so much of the legit opening sequences at times that it was almost eerie. I really love the way you approached the editing on this--dare I say, some of your subtle choices improved upon the original parody work--and you definitely found the right balance between music and dialogue bits.

*does the dance of joy*

Wow, this is such a lovely comment. Thank you. I was really hoping it would come across as a legit opening, that was how I first imagined the idea. I edited the music so it matched the their opening exactly. Then tried to edit the sequence as closely as I could.

Thanks so much for noticing. And commenting! :D
