Finally!

So this is my 13th vid – and yes, it is what gives the number 13 a bad name! I called it “cursed” at one point – this was after my program crashed after my first complete draft and after my beta’s computer died during the beta process!

It’s been a long haul but I was determined to complete it! So I rebuilt it and 4 drafts later it’s finally here.

My aim here was to make a quality vid – well to a standard that I could achieve at this point in my vidding life. I keep looking at awesome vids and think – that’s what I want to make! But, I have to start somewhere and my hope is that with each attempt I improve a little more. It's the longest I have ever spent making vid - and not because it crashed.

I suppose I wanted to create a “mood” with this. And even though there is no story as such it’s about “Saving People, Hunting Things”. It’s an action vid – with lots of Winchester Wumpage – yep! I’m a sucker for hurt boys. But I also wanted to show a little of the toll it takes on the boys and really – it just all never stops. I also wanted a sense of relentlessness.

I can’t even begin to heap enough thanks and praise on my gorgeous beta _sharvie_ She has an amazing eye for detail and seems to know exactly what I am trying to achieve, making fabulous suggestions and comments – anything from clip choices, editing, pace and particularly, in this case, colour. Thanks Hun! (Happy birthday btw – hope it’s a good one - with computer up and running?!)

Comments very much appreciated.

OMG honey, that was FANTASTIC!! The shifts among b/w and touches of coloring and full color were amazingly cool and the editing seamless and wonderful. Terrific, terrific, terrific!! ♥

Thank you. Thank you. I am pretty happy with it - the colouring ended up being the thing that gave me the most angst - well, other than rebuilding the damn thing! Thanks for your comment. It means a lot. I better go and post it in some other places now so at least it gets watched - well, hopefully. :)

Very, very nice, sweetie. Both in the cuts, the timing and in creating the mood. Poor boys, they sure do endure a heck of a lot of whumpage, don't they?

Thanks so much for sharing.

Hey - thanks so much for taking the time to leave such a nice comment - I really appreciate it. (Hee! I changed my spelling of whumpage!! wasn't sure about that one)

Oh, I do love seeing the Winchester boys in pain! *^-^*

Nice touch with the black and white and colored scenes. And the song really works. It really doesn't stop for those two, does it? The baddies will just keep coming and coming...

Thank you so much for commenting. I enjoyed playing with the colour on this. I'm glad you thought the song worked - when I first heard it it spoke Winchester and SPN to me! :)

OMG! I have email! *lol* Yup, Hubby got it all up and running. Just in time for us to be done, eh? *shakes head*

What a wonderful finish! Yay! I think I said this before but you have just superb timing. Some of those transitions between b/w and color, like the prison girl and the final Sam falling, are just stunning. It was a pleasure to get to see this vid take shape in all its forms.

I'm thrilled you didn't take my advice and post this when the program crashed cause this is leaps and bounds beyond that previous draft and believe it or not, I learned so much about color use and timing helping you with this. For example with the above about internal motion and transitions.

Congrats on the beautiful and brilliant finish!

The vid was so cursed. Isn't it odd that the same day you post is the same day I get my computer back. Hmmm..... *squints eye suspiciously at computer* Interesting. *lol*

Hey Hun,

I can't believe you have your computer back the day I posted this!! It really was cursed. I'm so sorry!!

Thanks again for everything - you know how much I love you! :)
