Vid: Brokeback Babylon

I came across the Brokeback Mountain spoof trailers when reading Wikipedia's article on Internet phenomena. I seem to remember a whole list, too, but apparently it's gone. Just go do some googling or head for YouTube right away - there are lots of them. Be it Back to the Future, Star Wars, Harry Potter, Star Trek - you name it. If it has fans, it more than likely has one or more of these parodies, too.

So, naturally, I looked for one doing B5. There was none. Now there is:



Why? - I think I've covered that already. If you want something done right, do it yourself.

Do I have a favorite part? - Lots. I was giggling quite frequently during vidding.

Any new challenges in vidding? - Lots. This is the first time I've used not only pictures but dialog. Imagine having thought of a perfect scene to use, just to find it ruined by music setting in... I also took my first tiny steps using After Effects to animate the text. Couldn't get it to fade in from the right though, I'm still peeved by this. Last and pretty much least, I had to cut the music, too.


That's the last of my vids so far. I'm not about to run out of ideas, I'll be running out of hands first...

Do I even want another internet? The one is keeping me busy enough...

*g*

I had to look up the term... And now I'm flattered :) Glad you like.

You win at the internet! Hobsonphile sent me, and wow! She was right!

That is pure awesome wrapped up in a youtube file. YOU WIN AT LIFE.

I should probably take this chance to tell you that I absolutely love your writing! In fact, "Fall from Grace" is my favorite PWP.

I'm honored and apologize for not giving any feedback before.

Wow, thank you! See, this is what I love about B5 fandom. It's like, 2 degrees of separation from everyone. *grin*

Not that I'm attempting to hint or anything, but I would love to see what you'd come up with doing a Susan/Talia one of these... ;)

Picking up on the not-hint (this is me being perceptive *g*), are we talking any vid or Brokeback style? And, just S/T, no J/S/T? ;)

I've been thinking about a "normal" S/T vid for a while, but have yet to find a song that has me thinking "Yes, that's it!"

The latter... mmh, never thought about it...

[info]leyenn

Duuuude. I would LOVE to see a J/S/T vid. I would sell you my soul. It's a bit grubby but I'm sure it's still worth something... maybe. ;)

I have many B5 song suggestions should you require any *ahem* not-hints. ;)

Now how could I resist an offer like that? Oh, that's right, I can't!

I'll have to think about it. A lot. And there's no guarantee *g*

I'll try and ICQ you some time if that's allright?

I know I'm a few months late, but I just came across this and it's completely made of win. :) I've enjoyed the various BBM take-off music vids over the last few years (I've got a great Lost one...), and this is one of the funniest ones I've seen. Great job playing with the scenes and changing them around - you made some of the sadder scenes in the series seem inexplicably hilarious. XD I don't even ship Londo/G'Kar, but I really enjoyed this.

Nonsense, it's never too late for sweet talk. Especially if that's the first thing you see turning on your computer after coming back from hospital. Thanks, you made my day already.

I don't ship them either, but taking these scenes out of context and completely screwing around with them was real fun. Maybe I should consider doing propaganda for a living ;)

I adore this. Hope you don't mind but I'm going to tell all my friends (well, my flist at least). :D

[info]tschilai

March 29 2008, 08:07:51 UTC 4 years ago

Of course I mind. I'm putting this up here as a means to keeping it ultra-secret after all ;)

Nah, please tell anyone I know, I crave feedback.

Mind telling me who's on your avatar? She's got a dazzling smile.

The actresses name is Jewel Staite but the picture is of her playing Kaylee in Firefly.

:D

Thanks.

Of course! Now that you've said it, it's obvious.

Shame on me for not recognizing her after meeting her last year at a convention *cough*

Thank you for clearing up my ignorance :)
