Vid speed challenge: Combat Honey (Tomb Raider)


Video Title: Combat Honey
Song Title/Artist: Combat Honey - The Wannadies
Movie: Tomb Raider
Summary: One geek's love for his warrior woman.
Length/Format: 2.28 (Xvid)
Notes:
I am a teenage boy in a grown woman’s body.

This vid came about because both myself and [livejournal.com profile] astartexx are in the process of heavy, time consuming vid projects and needed a way to let off steam. Yes, it's kinda weird to undertake another project with such little time to conceptualize/edit but I suppose that’s where half the fun is, just go with the flow and have fun! That's purely what this vid was about. It allowed me to just be frivolous and not be all heavy-thinky about it.

So the main points of the challenge were that we both exchanged various songs for various movies and gave a prompt for each. We had a full 48hrs from start to finish to get ourselves organized and to have the finished product ready. Oh and the vid should have been 2 mins or under but because the song I picked was just over that mark it seemed silly to edit it down just for the sake of it. I'm sure you don't mind, do you, Astarte! ;)

And did I have a good time making this? Yes, surprisingly I did. I feel good about it and I'm glad I did it. Heh maybe I work better with a deadline? *holds lids open with matchsticks*

I am seriously intrigued to find out what you went with for your challenge [livejournal.com profile] astartexx.

I have way too much fun watching this one. ;D It's like you've taken all the guilty pleasure from watching Angelina be a badass and concentrated it into a 2 1/2 minute drug. Y'know, if drugs could be minutes.

Plus as long as I have this, I can have all the fun without the boring parts. ;} Have I mentioned lately that I *adore* it when you vid action movies? :D

This was just pure unadulterated fun, made very quickly with no pretence at deep and meaningful. It's just Angie doing her thing.

I love vidding action too but unfortunately with action comes fight scenes and I hate editing fighting. That'll be something I'll promise myself to work on next year when that end of year vidding meme goes around.

The credits are fun, aren't they? I just couldn't resist.
