VID: Doctor Who (Rose-Centric) (aka My First Video!!!)

Title: A Modern Girl
Music: Modern Girl as covered by Camera Obscura
Made by: [livejournal.com profile] heidi8
Details: 45 MP version on MegaUpload; here on YouTube





Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] chaeche for the amazing beta, to [livejournal.com profile] deirdre_c for nudging me in the technical direction, and to [livejournal.com profile] sar_ha for major codecs assistance! This vid is dedicated to [livejournal.com profile] longtimegone on the occasion of her birthday!

I've had the idea for this vid in my head for about a year, but needed to, well, learn vidding and get a capable computer first. This is the first vid I've ever made on a computer, but back in the Dark Ages, I used to make vids about happenings in the world and at my college on a 3/4 inch editing system where I did the titles on an Amiga. This process is a lot shinier!

ConCrit is *really* appreciated! Thanks in advance for watching!

I like the editing and the pacing.... follows the song fairly well. I wish I'd seen more of the first two seasons, though, so I could give better feedback about the emotional impact....

Well, you'll catch up on the show someday,maybe? Thanks for the comment!

I find watching Rose vids so sad because of how it ended with her and the Doctor. But I do love the way you edited this with the words and images.

Thanks! I know it's weird but I wanted this to be a little emotionally tugging, so I sorta like to see it make people sad. Is that wrong of me?>

No, Vidding seems to be a way of compressing all the emotion of Rose's time. That's why they're so poignant. Because even if you don't use many clips of the last scene, you still know how it ends. You captured it all so well.

YAY!!! It turned out so great, hon! I have only watched a few episodes of Doctor Who, but I still loved it. GO YOU!!! ♥

Very good. That scene on the beach always makes me tear up.

[identity profile] heidi8.livejournal.com 2007-10-15 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I know! Awww, Rose!
Thanks for the compliment!

Oh, Heidi -- this is so good. The song is perfect, both in lyrics and style, and you've made some really fabulous editing choices. I love this, a lot.
