Deadwood video - Bloody Mother

[charmax]

Video Title: Bloody Mother
Song Title/Artist: Bloody Mother (Alternative title) - Martha Wainwright
Show: Deadwood
Summary: This video follows Trixie's story through the first two seasons. Al, Sol, Alma and Doc have all been influential but at the end of the day Trixie relies on herself.
Length/Format: 3.14, (Xvid)
Notes: This is quite a simple video with no real bells and whistles because the editing reflects the song on that matter imho. It might also not be as accessible as some of my other videos are. It is character/arc driven and some knowledge of the show is probably needed to really understand it. Also, there is bad language in the song. If you know the show then that shouldn't be a problem for you at all.

Feedback loved.

Please do not upload to Youtube or MySpace Thanks!

I'm back with feedback, sorry it took so long- I've watched it about 3 times now and love it more each time. We both enjoyed it on the first viewing - the song choice is fantastic - with inspired lyric matches 'the poked & stoked' at around 30 seconds - in fact the whole early Al/Trixie sequence, and all the 'bloody m/fkrs'.

It's been a while since I saw the first season so I tend to forget the intense brutality and violence in that weird relationship. I love how you showed her growth and self reliance, and the final scene at the end was wonderful.

There was some lovely subtle internal motion and the the clips seem to have a wonderful radiance. I know the 'colour/cinematography' (for want of a better description) of show itself is very tonal and almost borders on sepia but did you add to that?

And are you watching S3 on Sky or d/loading at US level?

Thanks Andrea. I'm glad you liked it. The aim of the vid was to show Trixie's growing independence and I'm glad that people are picking up on that. It is quite a grim vid in many ways and I wanted it to have a positive side to it as well hence the decision to end it on a high point.

Oh and the colours were tweaked a little bit. I just can't help myself in that department. They are supposed to be subtle but I don't feel I've finished a vid until I've done it. As I said to Astarte it is a vignette lighting.

I am dling the season 3 eps but so far I have only watched the first 3.
