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.

Glad you liked it because honestly it's all your fault!! I even robbed that thing you do with putting the climax in the last third instead of at the end.

I don't think speed vidding will ever come naturally but at least now I know I can have a fair stab at it.

And the Brad and Angelina thing is just one of those weird coincidences that seem to happen whenever Astarte's involved. I suspect she has strange mental powers.

yes, yes but i don't actually plan out my videos like that love, its all in your mind or an accident. Mostly i just sometime let the clips fall in some kind of story and hope for the best. Over thinking it what makes you crazy.

Damn i need to be in on your next Astarte joint activities.

Why am I having trouble believing that you are the vidding equivalent of an idiot savant? "I just throw the clips in the air and let them fall where they will", yeah, right!?

You should definitely join in the insanity next time. I don't know how you've managed to avoid it so far.

well sort of. Sometimes things happen by accident that seem like they always should have.

sand it's because unless i keep getting emails about it i don't check old LJs anymore. I need to get better. So do your part and email me with links if you think i should get in on it. :wink
