Video: Suicide Note (REMASTERED)

[charmax]

Video Title: Suicide Note
Song Title/Artist: Suicide Note - Johnette Napolitano
Show: Angel
Summary: A reflective look at Illyria and Wesley's growing relationship and how it has come to mean more than expected.
Length/Format: 5.19, (WMV, Xvid)
Notes: When I originally made this the show had not long finished airing and so the only footage I had to work with had a huge WB logo and was not great quality. I always promised myself that I would remake it when I bought the DVDs and now eventually I have. Aside from the obvious improvement in picture quality I have made some clip changes to hopefully make things flow a bit better. I have also changed the transitions to get rid of the rather unsatisfactory white-outs and replaced them with something not as heavy handed. I have played with the colours this time too. I went for a muted blue/grey tone that hopefully reflects the mood of the video (and I was maybe just a smidge influenced by Supernatural).

Hi, I was linked here from lidi's LJ with the note that I should watch this vid because it was the best Angel one yet made. So, I came, expecting a mediocre video that would amuse me and pass the time.

However, I was surprised with an incredibly touching and beautifuly orchastrated video. The last scene is just so touching, and it wraps up the video so perfectly, I was almost brought to tears. It's an incredibly sad relationship (Wes and Fred, and Wes and Illyria) and you managed to capture the essence of it on film. Poor Wesley. :(

Anyhow, kudos to you! Next though you have to make a happy vid, 'cause now I'm all depressed. J/k...sort of.

Thanks for commenting. It's nice to know the vid exceeded your expectations.

I'm glad you felt it captured their relationship well.

You are absolutely right I should definitely make something more lighthearted soon.
