Another remaster job. VM video

[charmax]

Video Title: One Way Or Another (REMASTERED)
Song Title/Artist: One Way Or Another - Blondie
Show: Veronica Mars
Summary:
This is an episodic video to the episode 'Clash of the tritons'. 'One Way or Another' the song by Blondie is lip synched with Veronica's karaoke version.
Length/Format: 3.25, (WMV, Xvid)
Notes:
I am still on my remastering spree, wheee! (As well as working on my sweet charity vid of course) The main difference between this and the old version is DVD source. Yay. I've also put in a couple of extra clips, chopped the rhythm up a little more, refined the titles and added a touch more external motion. Shiny.

Episodic videos can be quite tricky to edit because clip choice is quite limited and there aren't the sweeping camera shots or epic panoramic views of a movie. So, with what was available to me I think it works. I am happy anyway. :)

Please do not upload to Youtube or MySpace Thanks!

This video has been retired.

Feedback is great.

Heh! You remastered the 'cute' vid of yours, well at least it was labeled that way in my head and for once it evens resembles the original one... slightly! *teehee*

The DVD footage really makes especially the bar scenes clearer and of course you still captured the pure sassy girl power Veronica radiates mostly in the show. That part is sadly often ignored in vids, which makes this one so much fun to watch on repeat!

Cute is good. :D And so is sassy. That's my Veronica!

and for once it evens resembles the original one... slightly! *teehee*
Hmmm slightly? Is that a compliment or what? Don't answer that. lol

Thanks Astarte.

Not exactly a nah-sayer of your remastering spree, am I? So I'm pretty sure, you know on what this comment was based, besides DVD footage makes me itchy at the moment, I ache for it on my current project. You know where you flip shit without the WB symbol making it obvious so you have to mask it out and then you go crazy and start masking shit for the pure joy of manipulating footage any way you want and suddenly you don't like the way the light breaks on Sam's face so you make it dark and soft and ambigious and then you run into your next WB symbol and you start crying... Actually no, the last part was made up! But you get the gist of this... Dean is pretty enough to not mask shit, so I'm happy the vid is mostly about him! *maniac grin*

And the point was, your Veronica all sassy, cute and cool is very, very good shit and SHINY with the DVD footage and all and I appreciate this on a level which is not healthy! *goes off to mask some more in her white jacket*

Hmmm, why does the word spree always make me think sniper rifles and postal workers?

I know what you mean about tv source. The main reason I've been remastering lately is because I'm waiting for DVDs for House, Supernatural, Veronica Mars, BSG so I can make the vids that have been eating my brain for months. I especially hate the WB and Sci-fi, their icons are huge and then they run friggin' what's up next ads all through it. arggh. With those stupid icons you can't flip or zoom without it becoming a bit of an issue.

I love the image of you trying to mask in a straight-jacket using your teeth and emphatic head movements! lol

Oh and are you watching that new show "Eureka"? If not you should.

I would think about shopping spree, you know getting new and shiny things instead of the same old and beloved, because you wore them down and now you see that the seam won’t hold any longer and the button on top is missing, because of the one hot incident at – But that’s my inner optimist… *wide grin*

Really, the logo gets in the way of so many cool things like smooth zooms and especially flipping – it’s so fucking obvious when you manipulate shit. At least you think your audience will notice it in that 15 frame overlay – right there. So yeah, you can make it go away, if there is no movement at that spot, but it’s amateur work and an annoying way to spend two minutes. It’s possible that I start over once I get my hands on the DVDs, actually that depends on my nerve wreck till then and anyway, I will need your opinion on my approach of things in both cases, because I’m not sure, if I’m currently going in the right direction and if I do, well, then this whole start over thing is a done deal.

Don’t you love it when inspiration hits you after you worked for three days straight on a vid, your blood-shot eyes look at the screen and your whole vid turns over before your mind’s eye? Yeah, the straight-jacket thing is also helpful with not banging your head on hard surfaces till you lose consciousness – sadly!

Eureka? Did read one bad review, but I’m gonna check it out now… Besides Sugar Rush is waiting patiently on my hard drive, so is a fanfic that needs four more sex scenes and it’s not like they get written by themselves and that I need to work on this vid NOW!

*goes off to the dungeon and plays by herself with the white foam coming out of her mouth*

So you think shopping spree and I think killing spree You say tom-ay-to, I say tom-ar-to (well tomate strictly speaking) still it makes me wonder if there isn't room in that padded cell for me.

So your fanfic won't write itself but apparently your vid has a mind of it's own!! Seriously, I do know what you mean and I would definitely go with the way it tells you.

Eureka is a lot of fun. Kind of like "the 4400" only with more laughs and more crazy inventions.

I will be glad to check out your vid. *fingerscrossed behind back* Actually I'm sure I will be able to overcome my supernatural burnout for you.

There’s always room for you in my padded cell, love, you know that by heart, don’t you?

Yeah, see the two paths-metaphor always has it catch and this time it would be WORK – I mean LIKE working my cute ass off to get where I want to be and this is something I need reassurance for, because one road leads straight to hell and the other to a mediocre or good action vid. But it’s Dean so yeah, hell looks like a lovely place to spend some time with him.

Eureka is on my watch list now, because I can’t hardly resist the funny… Especially not now!
