BSG vid: The Ledge

[m_a_r_i_k_s]

I've finally finished making this Lee video. It's been the main project for me since autumn 2007 and it took me about three months to make. Now I feel kind of fagged out emotionally but relatively satisfied, which is nice - I think one of the most pleasant moments of the process for a vidder is when you give the final touches to your work and you

a constant struggle between what other people want him to be, what he _thinks_ they want him to be (‘cause sometimes his own interpretation distorts everything) and what he himself actually wants or needs to be; it reflects Lee’s thorny path of defining loyalties, reassessing the main principles of his being, finding them and loosing all over again.

And you capture this perfectly. I discover new layers with every viewing and I like the vid more and more with every viewing - because it shows me why I love this character so much! A wonderful way of self-analysis!

Many thanks! :)

Thanks, it's nice to know that people still watch... Lee is simply my favorite male character in BSG... if RDM didn't end the show the way he did, I think I'd make many more focused on him alone. The Ledge was one of those extremely intense in a Lee-way and complex vids, something that's also reflected in my other Lee & Laura video "Illusion & Dream", where even the structure of lyrics makes you think twice and really delve into both characters' POVs.
