Bravo Two Zero Vid

[przed]

In between recovering from anesthetic and attending WorldCon panels, I've finished a vid. The source is Bravo Two Zero; the song is Simon & Garfunkel's Patterns.

It's in Quicktime format. To view it, either right click (PC) or Control click (Mac) on the link and download it to your hard drive.

I'd be interested to hear if anyone thinks it works or not.

Edit, Sept. 1: I've posted the tweaked and (I hope) final version.

fucking fantastic.
music blends beautifully with the images, both lyrically and melodically.

it's a keeper in my vid collection.

Loved It

excellent build and drama. Loved the cuts between him in prison and reflecting on his life. Excellent song choice -- had a hard edge which works for the movie.

I would like to see something stronger as the last clip - if the sense is that he still trapped, then I'd like to see it more viscerally demonstrated. Or if he is free, then something less abrupt.

Yes!

Very powerful vid, and a great choice of music (one I never would have thought of). You managed to convey the range of emotions in this movie very well. I do agree about the ending, though -- would like to see something with more visual impact (positive or negative).

Good news about TT at Worldcon! I was just a DragonCon this weekend and saw a presentation by OneRing.net on the TT extended preview, ROTK preview and spy shots, etc. Seems forever until November -- more Sean! more Sean! *dancing in glee*

Okay, I suck for not getting to this sooner.

But oh WOW. I loved this. I am a very bad girl in that I haven't actually watched BTZ yet, but yeah, this definitely makes me think I should get around to doing that one day *G* I love the timing of it, and all the back-and-forth cuts. Am very, very fond of the shot of McNab and the other prisoner to the line "From the moment of my birth..."

REALLY awesome. You rock my socks!
