Sweet Charity Vid: A Pain That I'm Used To (Batman)

Lo, these many months ago, sarren successfully bid on me in the Sweet Charity auction and requested a Batman vid. Specifically, she asked for a vid highlighting the friendship between Batman and Jim Gordon.

Many months later, this is that vid.

Oh, hon! Nice job. :-D

Some of the things that were challenges for you--lack of footage, POV--seem to have been alleviated. I don't know what exactly you did, but I like it! I felt like you somehow magically fond more Commissioner Gordon shots. Did you? Or did you just cut differently?

As before, I really liked how you used Gotham City and the bats to set the mood and to frame the action They worked well. I thought the parallels between Gordon's relationship with his son and the flashbacks with young Bruce were tighter too. All in all, wonderful work. I hope your bidder is well pleased.

Thanks!

I haven't made significant changes since you last saw it, but I have tweaked a few things. Changed the order of a few shots, found better Bruce/Batman footage, tweaked a few of the Gordon bits. (I'd have loved to have found more Gordon footage, but it's just not there.) It helped just to leave it alone for a month and then come back with fresh eyes so I could rip out what wasn't working.

I'm much better pleased with it now, and my bidder seems very happy indeed.

I'm doing a Holmes vid now. Shhhh, don't tell anyone. *g*
