Quickie vid rec

[gateslacker]

Yeah, I said I was gonna do better about updating. I need to do more quickie posts and updates rather than feeling the need to have substantial, wordy posts (and then end up "saving" it up too much and then feeling like there's no time to get into it all)

But it has been a hugely transitional time for me and there's lots of boring stuff to say about it. LOL.

Okay, moving on. THIS VID!!! It is a wonderful Sam character study and I LOVE how the vidder manages to convey Sam's entire arc in 4 minutes. I thought the interspersing of dialogue was very cleverly used and be on the lookout for this really cool transition between Wee! Sam and adult Sam. I am always amazed at this sort of thing because wading through 8 plus seasons of footage and then finding just the right two clips is a rather daunting, time-consuming task. Oh, and I've never heard the song before but I like it.

Well I can't seem to get under the 13 min/mile mark very often but I am maintaining that over greater distance so I'm gonna count it as a win.

Happy December 2nd!

Pretty darn cool! It'll take more than one viewing for me to unpack everything in that vid. The Wee!Sam transition was really cool - I also liked the juxtaposition of Sam's demon-killing outstretched hand with him reaching out for help (I think, like I said - need to watch again!)

Yeah, you definitely have to watch more than once to catch all the nuances. The only quibble for me is the weak-ish ending but maybe I just didn't get what the vidder was going for.

Happy December 2nd!
