fanvid

[fahye]

Despite the best efforts of Windows Movie Maker to hamper my progress by crashing without saving whenever the gleeful whim took it, my fanvid is done!

I have not vidded in about two? three? years. This is probably the second vid I have ever actually finished. I have no amazing editing skills and no flashy software. But I had fun. Still, any comments would be greatly appreciated, because knowing me I'll start another one soon.

This is an official disclaimer to state that I did not cut each and every clip out of the episodes; I do not OWN the episodes in any handily choppable format, so I used other people's videos as a source. I did not steal any editing, any transitions, nada. Just hacked them all to pieces and rebuilt from scratch. But apparently it's worth mentioning, even though I doubt I'll plug this in any communities or whatnot :)

Anyway!

Moving On, a BSG fanvid. Mostly pilots, but with some ensemble shots thrown in where appropriate.



When I think about my life
I wonder if I will survive
To live to see 25
Or will I just fall?
Like all my friends
They just keep dying
People round me
Always crying
In this place that I like to
Call my home

But not everybody knows
That everybody goes
To a better place
And not everybody knows
That everybody could be living their last days
But the hard times will come
and we'll keep movin' on
We're moving up
Keep movin' on

Life!
Hope!
Truth!
Trust!
Faith!
Pride!
Love!
Lust!

On without the things we've lost
The things we gained
We'll take with us

And all I've got
Are these two hands
To make myself a better man
I wonder if I'll ever see the end of this
With all this rain
It just keeps falling
On my head
And now I'm calling
Out to someone else
To help me make it through

Life!
Hope!
Truth!
Trust!
Faith!
Pride!
Love!
Lust!
Pain!
Hate!
Lies!
Guilt!
Laugh!
Cry!
Live!
Die!

Some friends become enemies
Some friends become your family
Make the best with what you're given
This ain't dying
This is living

Said we're movin' on
And we got nothing to prove to anyone
Cuz we'll get through
We're movin' on and on and on and on (etc.)

Keep movin' on

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeehhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

It is lovely, Fahye Fahye! Also the first one I have downloaded. :P
The only problem is the footage - the quality drops in parts - but it cannot be helped. :D Also, you've matched to the lyrics wonderfully.

*pats head and grins*

zomg I just watched this.

Fucking awesome omg.

My favorite part is Kara's THERE IS NOTHING HERE being over LIES. Yes, I caught that.

I drool at the WELL-EDITEDNESS OF THIS. Also the song is really great for BSG too.

*puts on iPod*

Ooooh, pretty. I am so very impressed.! I've got no idea what goes on in this fandom, other than the occasional rave review on your journal,but quite a bit seems very clear after looking at this. ;) I really like the way you cut it all in. I was bouncing with the Life! Hope! Truth! Trust!... stuff. Heee. Now I want to make a fanvid. However, I have no idea how to go about it on a Mac when all the clips I want are on DVD and, um. Television. Working on it. :)

In conclusion: this rawks.

'What goes on' is kind of terrifically hard to explain. Clearly you must WATCH IT. The more talented writers that see this show, the better.

I'm fairly sure there's a video editing program that comes with most Macs, but yeah. You'd have to get a DVD ripping thing as well.
