There are not enough True Blood vids, so I clicked the link from the vidding comm on Dreamwidth the minute I saw it, and wow. You manage to highlight a lot of character developments in such a short span. I love the frenetic pace of the vid, the clips you chose are great, and while I don't know the song and will have to watch it a few more times to catch the resonances, the song choice overall really worked for me. Excellent, thanks for posting!
And yeah, there are definitely not enough True Blood vids out there. At least, not ones that are all Bill/Sookie or Eric/Sookie. Don't get me wrong - I actually like both pairings - but there's so much more to the show that one could vid than the shippery stuff.
I'll honestly say that the pace was so frenetic I wasn't able to keep up with the lyrics (my fault), but the editing was so enjoyable that it made up for it in spades! Also, is it really an ‘ensemble character study’? I felt like I was watching Jess's story for the most part. OH AND! At 2:10 when Hoyt cries out with the music: AWESOME!! And dude there's a lot of great zooming in and out that made the whole piece feeling even more kinetic that I imagine it would have. And and and there I saw an eye-zoom or two! HWG's left her mark :P I definitely enjoyed all the blood and guts too, whooo. Ambitious, man, and very enjoyable!
The lyrics are mad crazy fast, so I understand completely. Thanks for saying so, though, cuz it reminded me to post the lyrics! :D
Haha, it is Jess's story, but it's also observationally, at least, about everyone around her.
One eye zoom was recommended in lieu of a different zoom by HWG, but the other eye zoom was something I put in by myself. Until you mentioned it, I didn't even remember HWG's thing for eye zooms, huh.
Wow, such an excellent vid! I was very happy to find this, especially since there don't seem to be enough True Blood vids. I loved the fast pace of the song and editing. Had no trouble making out most of the lyrics without having to read them either. *is not a native speaker* Have downloaded and watched 4-5 times already, thank you. :)
Thank you so much. I'm glad the lyrics were not an obstacle for you either. That's something well beyond my control, given that Amanda Palmer LOVES to go fast on some songs. :P
I usually don't watch a lot of True Blood videos (even tho I like the show), but I had to watch this one. I love Amanda Palmer, and this is the first video I've seen to any of her new songs. This was great in so many ways! I really loved the characters you chose to match up with each of the verses-you chose perfectly! Loved the fast paced clips, loved everything!
