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.

This vid did make me all nostalgic for Lara and her infeasibly large boobs array of weapons. I've never managed to get on with playing action games on the PC so I guess I'll be grabbing the PSP version in a couple of months time.

As for the vid itself it was a lot of fun to make and if a fraction of that comes across then I'm happy. As for the naked back it was, naturally, one of the first clips I laid down but it got lost in a mad whirl of clip shuffling towards the end. :D

Oh and thanks for commenting!

Its more of an exploration/platform game with some action elements - the main aim is to solve puzzles to get the artifact type thing.

The game is bringing back so many memories for me - its like catching up with an old friend whos got better looking with age!
