Vid speed challenge: Combat Honey (Tomb Raider)

[charmax]

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 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 astartexx.

Yeah, I felt the same way about some ideas I had with your options and I will soon get back to them, this is less demanding than doing a series, which equals more fun on my part. This speed challenge just had the perfect feel of 'Dive in and let the tide take you to your destination!' and I don’t think yours was the shallow end of the pool, my dear!

Plus doing a ghosting blend just because you can and the music fits is kinda shallow too. And obsessing is part of the game, I don’t think anyone will notice the single frames I put in there, but they are MEANINGFUL! *shakes fist in scary manner*

And next time we make it a threesome and let Xandra kick our asses!

It'll be interesting to see what else you use. It was definitely easier doing films so pretty and so short!

Of course you realise that if you vid Brad and I vid Angelina than when Xandra joins in that leaves her with Jennifer Aniston. eek!
