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

[przed]

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.

Fandom: Batman Begins and The Dark Knight
Length: 3:58
Summary: Jim Gordon and Bruce Wayne embrace their inner bat.

Notes: Thanks to ancastar for taking a look, even though it's not her fandom.

The icon is just 'cos it's currently my only Bat icon. *g*

There are some really nice parallel edits and the way the scenes slow down to match the slow period in the middle of the song is just great.

It must have been bloody difficult to pull off too as the film is so dark, I don't mean content but the lighting in this case.

Thanks for letting the rest of us see it. ♥

That vid killed. Gonna watch this over and over and over...

Thanks!

on edit: I noticed you're on S&H and we've got a few of the same friends. Can I friend you?

Holy crap, this is AMAZING. Dang.

I really enjoyed this. The mood of the song fit Batman really well and it was interesting to see Gordon's perspective. Great job!

Ooooh. I love the editing, and I can tell it's not an easy material to work with... and there were a few moments in the middle that really sent the shivers down my spine, especially the slowing down and then the Dark Knight Joker bit.

Also, this vid apparently did what I couldn't for the last week or so and worked through my writer's block and I can get back to writing Bruce/Gordon fic that really needs finishing. So, you know: THANKS. :)

This sounded intriguing, and it's *you*, so well, had to watch really, didn't I? Wow, that was well done. I wouldn't have thought there was enough material to create a convincing relationship over the stretch of a song, but you did it. And the song worked really well.

Take a bow Clever Vid Person!

Very fitting song choice and editing. Thank you for sharing this. :-)

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.

Well done. I always love your work.

Wish I had your talent. Can't wait to see if you do take a run at Sherlock Holmes.
