Better Elsewhere - SPN J2 BigBang Vid and Art

[heidi]

I was lucky and thrilled to get veronamay's fic "Better Elsewhere" in this year's spn_j2_bigbang and it was an unbelievable experience to get to create things for her wonderful story!

First, you can check out the (high-res) artwork I did with the program at pictosaic (may load slowly).

Summary: An alternate version of 2x20, where Sam is caught in the djinn's spell ... and things are not what you'd expect. Some things never change, though: Dean still wants to save people, Sam's still hunting things, and at the end of it all family business is the only thing that matters. Wincest.

I really loved the first vid, it worked so incredibly well with the fic. The audio overlay of some of Jared's dialogue from Gilmore Girls and a few short clips for Jensen in Smallville really added to the content as per the fic and were so seamlessly meshed I wouldn't know that they were from other shows (well except that Jared looks like a total baby in one clip, but he's adorable so it works). :D Seriously great work.

Also, I think the song you choose for the second vid was perfectly toned.

He is such a total baby! And Dean was a total stalker for a bit there, and it worked as Sam's character just spot-on, so it was a lot of fun to do.

I actually never watched GG when it aired, so I've gone back and re-watched a lot since then and he's so ickle (in a gigantor sort of way) and so much fun to edit.

The song for the dialogue-free vid was by Jason Manns, who's one of Jensen's good friends, and who's performed at various SPN cons. I heard a song from him only because Jensen sang backup for it but for some reason, I loved all his songs and his voice just so much that Jason's stuff has become 15 of the top 50 songs I've listened to in the last year. So it was fun to finally have a story that meshed so well with one of his songs, so I could play with it all.
