I am _never_ doing this again.

*already planning next project*


Title: Backdrifters
Song: "Backdrifts (The Honeymoon is Over)" by Radiohead
Vidder: [livejournal.com profile] sapote3
Fandom: Torchwood
Rating/Warnings: Let's say R for violence and makeouts. Slash, het, potentially third-catagory aliens.
Summary: Angsty everybody/everybody, hopefully Gwen's POV.

My laptop is named La Poderosa, and it has been to five countries. I love the damn thing. It is six years old. It is kind of slow. It is slow enough that I can't see my changes without rendering the whole video.

That would be why this took a really long time.

Since I can't run WMM, I used Blaze MediaPro to cut up clips and Debugmode Wax to put them back together.

There are plenty of beginner's mistakes in this video - the letterboxing, the DivX logo, a bit of choppy audio editing. I know that even though it looks done to me now - after a day and a half of proofwatching - there are things in there that I'll decide later need fixing. Still, for a first attempt, I'm rather pleased.

This vid turned out quite sad and angsty, which fits the lyrics, but this song is actually in my life because I fell in love to it on a trip to Florida years and years ago. I associate it with camping in orange groves and watching alligators jump after ducks on the river. Why has none of this bucolic mood made it into the vid? I do not know.

All comments and concrit welcome.

ETA: No matter how much I nag her she won't get an lj, so I'm going to go ahead and give the lovely and talented caffieninni credit for some early betawatching and also for enduring two months of nonstop vid talk. And for being the only Gwen/Owen shipper I know.

This is lovely! And also a bit creepy, which seems a wonderful fit for the show (of which I've only seen a couple of eps). Glad you endured the difficulty of making it so that you could share it. :D

Thank you! Making it was a lot of fun. Unexpectedly lengthy fun.

The show is so creepy, usually when it doesn't mean to be, which gave me plenty of inspiration.

Thanks again for the feedback. It means a lot.
