heidiGiven the presence of a lot of HP fans - including a number of Azkatraz and Infinitus team members at Dragon*Con, what better place to have the next Azkatraz+Infinitus Meet-Up?
As I just posted in the forums:
I can't believe it's been over a month since I last posted a vid - and this one is something I actually finished in June, as it was the vid![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
voleuse won by bidding on me in the vividcon auction last spring.
Title: This Is The Last...
Song: Stockholm Syndrome by Muse
Summary: "This is the last time I'll abandon you...."
Download it on MegaUpload or watch it
I made another version of the vid too, by running the video backwards ad re-synching it - you can download that version - the Stockholm Syndrome Dance Remix - here or watch it on YouTube
Note: I wasn't very familiar with the song beforevoleuse requested it - and that's exactly why I love doing auctions! I get to hear all these songs I never thought about in a particular context before, and play with them with a specific concept or image in mind, and it's a challenge, but such a fun one. The complicated thing in this case was that I had two specific sets of images in mind, like I'd had for The Hero Is Me, which I made for seimaisin back in February, but in that vid, I was telling two parallel stories, and here, the reason for the double-tracking of the video was because I wanted a moebius-strip type of thing going on. While they're fighting at the end of Episode Three, all their experiences together from the past and the future are in their minds and their hearts. At the same time, to us - to the audience, every single thing we see in the series *before* their battle begins is filtered through the knowledge that (a) there will be this epic battle where Obi-Wan will damage Anakin so severely, and (b) that about twenty years later, Anakin will kill Obi-Wan, basically at Obi-Wan's wish.
What amazed me when I was first putting it together was that there are almost exactly as many seconds of actual fighting amid the volcanoes as there are seconds in the song. I had to leave very little battle footage on the cutting room floor. It was lovely synchronicity!
So thank you,voleuse, for prompting the vid! It was a delightful head-trip to make and then to play with!
As I just posted in the forums:
Learn more about the events, meet some of the organizers, talk HP for a while, and enjoy nibbles and drinks at Fandangles at the Sheraton Atlanta Hotel from 8:30 until at least 10:00 on Friday night.
RSVPs appreciated but not required - you can text me if you can't find us when you get there. Or leave me your phone number and I'll text you sometime on Friday so you can text me back later.
We'll have some nibbles, postcards, a few sets of Azkatraz handcuffs and some sneak peeks at plans for Azkatraz and Infinitus.
