Vid - Mambo Italiano (REMASTERED)

[charmax]

Video Title: Mambo Italiano
Song Title/Artist: Mambo Italiano - Groove Armada
Show: Alias
Summary: Sydney Bristow and her many aliases.
Length/Format: 3.01, (Xvid)
Notes: There are some minor clip changes from the original vid and some of the effects are toned down. All for the better I think. The main difference is quality and screen size.

SQUEE!!

Ahem. Yes. :D *downloads at speed of light*

I so wish I had money to bid on you in sweet charity. Sigh.

Duuude. You remade it! Even though it didn't really need it.

*downloads*

Oh, I was just wondering... You wouldn't mind if I were to make a Dark Angel vid to this song? I've been wanting to make it ever since I got obsessed with this song (after watching the original of this one).

I don't wanna seem like I'm copying you or anything...

*watches*

Squee!

Still so awesome.

... Yeah, I don't know what else to say lol.

I prefer the older version. I think the effects were the ones that made the vid what it is. I miss them in this version. It looks a bit, I dunno, empty without them.

It's always nice to wake up and see that Charmax made an Alias video. Even if it's remastered.

*Downloading*

Still one of my favourite Alias vids. Nice to see you refreshing it a little :)

Hi, I dloaded this vid last night, and haven't had a chance to watch, but I loved your LoM vid, Club Foot -- and recommended it for Vividcon's Nearly New show, to boot. *g* So, um. Anyway. I decided I wanted to keep up with your vids, so... here I am.

Hi!

Hey, this was great! I've watched it about five times by now, and it really jazzes me.

I only know the fandom from a couple of other great vids (Atom Bomb and This Girl Is Making Bets), but that's not really a problem, because this vid is so accessible.

It's about a spy lady who is cool, and sexy, and has disguises, and fights! And Gina Torres is in it too!

Really. What more could one want. *G* And it works, because it's so jazzy and the motion carries over so well, and it just makes me go Eeeee.

I haven't seen the old version, so I have no idea what effects you took out, but I think the vid definitely doesn't need extra. I think you don't even need the white flashes at the beginning.

Love the bit at about 00:33 where the music slows and you have these gorgeous slow zoom shots. I also really like the intercutting between the two red wig scenes, and the spinny fighting.

I think this would make a great Club Vivid vid, too. I'd dance to it. *g*

GUH. If only I could pull myself up from this puddle of drool I would say something more substantial but I can't so...GUH again. Oh my, so very hot. How did I miss this first time around?

*fans self and goes to watch again*

Here through MaryCrawford's rec. It does make me get up and dance. Very cool! I love all the contrasting wigs, the colors really make things move, somehow.

Oh, this is just so much fun! I'm most of the way through S4, and I love watching Sydney's changing looks, and I love the way you intercut some of her similar looks. I admit, too, now I'm intrigued by what the original was like. *g*

I watched the original before the remastered one. I really enjoyed the first one when it came out, even my aunt watched it and thought it was great.

Still love what you did for the titles.

I think it's great that you're going back and remastering some older vids, coming back with more experience and know how, giving something that was already awesome a fresh look.

You have a great knack for choosing great clips and for picking some of Sydney's best "aliases". I love how almost every clip has red in it, which gives flow. The refined effects are excellent and you pulled every one of them off expertly.

marycrawford recommended this, and I am so happy I watched! What a wonderful vid! Go you indeed! :-D
