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 finally got a chance to watch this today. My inner teenage boy thanks you and well, I thank you. :)

It's great fun and lots of action, kinda like the movie(s), only better. Knowing that you made it in 48 hours is both impressive and depressing.

Thank you!

It was nice to be able to just use the parts of the film that I loved and leave out the tedious bits.

It was a lot of fun to make and the deadline was strangely liberating, less time for self doubt and indecision.
