Vid comment:

So this officially hits the top of my list as the most fun I've had making a vid. This presented a number of new challenges which I relished.

This vid really does show my age! Though not all TV shows are as ancient as me, so there's (hopefully) something for everyone. I've been wanting to do this for a while (ever since "Supernatural 5-0" and "Supernatural Dukes") and I took my time over this (for a change).

Special thanks to the lovely deirdre_c for her encouraging words and to my wonderful beta _sharvie_ whose eye for detail never ceases to amaze me (and keep me on my toes!). These gals helped give it the spit and polish it needed.

No money made, but comments gratefully accepted.

This was awesome--especially since I just finished watching all four seasons of Starsky and Hutch. I'm going to get meta here for a second, but I love how it does what vids do best--recontextualize. In this case, it shows the blend of genres, and possible influences, in Supernatural by using the visual style and theme music of a bunch of different shows--and relying on the audience to pick up on those cues just from the theme music. In other words, what vidding is meant to be.

(Can I also say, putting in a stripper moment and a black police captain in the Starsky and Hutch section? Kind of awesome.)

Hey ivy03,

Thank you for your meta on this. \O/ SPN lends itself to so many "styles" of TV shows. I was banking on the audience knowing some of these shows in order for it to work.

Yay! I'm so glad you picked up on the stripper! It was the closest I could get to the exotic dancer Hutch is staring at in the opening sequence. And yep - Hendrickson as Captain Dolby! Just had to do it.

Thanks for your wonderful comment.

I think the only reason they put Hutch ogling an exotic dancer in the credits was to establish his heterosexuality since the other clips in the credits included Starsky and Hutch as very flaming hair dressers, Starsky "dipping" Hutch, and of course ending with Starsky being blown into Hutch's arms. Gayest. Credits. Ever.

Oh yes, yes! and the shot after him watching the dancer is Starsky blowing in his face! I did love 'em!
