Vid: Road rage

[bop_radar]

I'm totally spamming today, since long weekends = fannish productivity! *g*

This vid was my attempt to overcome my phobia of vidding my favourite characters or ships. You'll notice that I still shied away from vidding Lee's perspective... but I'm getting there. I also tried to vid fast, since I'm not keen to repeat the weeks of wallowing in despair that surrounded my last vid. *g* So, nothing serious here... just a light-hearted attempt to stare down my inner vidding demons. Oh, and I only had the mini series and Season 1 to work with, so silly shippiness ensued.

Song: Road rage
Artist: Catatonia
Fandom: Battlestar Galactica
Premise: Apollo gives Starbuck road rage *snerk*
Warnings: spoilers for mini-series and Season 1, mild nudity
Download: direct download (33MB) or streaming at BAM
Feedback: Pretty please! *bats eyelashes* It's unbeta-ed, so there's only me to blame.
Lyrics:
If all you've got to do today is find peace of mind
Come round,
You can take a piece of mine
And if all you've got to do today is hesitate
Come here, you can leave it late with me .
You could be taking it easy on yourself
You should be making it easy on yourself
Cause you and I know, it's all over the front page
You give me road rage
Racing through the best days
It's up to you boy you're driving me crazy
Thinking you may be losing your mind.
If all you've got to prove today is your innocence,
Calm down, you're as guilty as can be
If all you've got to lose alludes to yesterday
Yesterday's through, now do anything you please.
You could be taking it easy on yourself
You should be making it easy on yourself
Cause you and I know
It's all over the front page
You give me road rage
Racing through the best days
It's up to you boy you're driving me crazy,
Thinking you may be losing your mind.
You're losing your mind.
You, you've been racing through the best days
You, you've been racing through the best days.
Space age, road rage, fast lane,
And if all you've got to do today is find peace of mind
Come here, you can take a piece of mine.
You could be taking it easy on yourself
You should be making it easy on yourself
Cause you and I know,
It's all over the front page,
you give me road rage
Racing through the best days
It's up to you boy you're driving me crazy
Thinking you may be losing your mind.
But you and I know
We all live in the space age, coming down with road rage
Racing through the best days
It's up to you boy you're driving me crazy,
Thinking you may be losing your mind.
It's not over, it's not over, it's not over,
It's not over, it's not over, it's not over,
you and I know
We all live in the space age,
you give me road rage,
Racing to the best days
It's up to you boy you're driving me crazy
Thinking you may be losing your mind.
Losing your mind

Thank you! I'm beaming right now, to think that you liked it so much.

With a special focus on being mesmerized by each others' mouths?
Right! Right! There was so much eye-mouth action in those days! They're entirely hypnotised by each other and it's brilliant.

I especially love how you snuck in the Kara-fantasy Lee sex at the end, there
Heee, hee, um, yes I couldn't resist. I actually think if someone had beta'ed this for me, they'd have probly told me to dump it, because it wasn't canon and it was too overt, but hey, this is an unashamedly shippy vid, and Kara was totally thinking about it and that's good enough for me! (Plus I kind of liked the idea of it fitting the lyric 'It's not over...') Oh, and it was too pretty not to. :-p

Oh, hell yes. Eye, mouth, eye. LOVE. Those were the days! (Although Bamber does it in the UB flashback...deliciously...mmm...what was I saying?) I'm telling you, those days shall come again.

No, no -- no doubts on the fantasy-Lee score, please! (snerk) As you say, the theme of this vid is Lee and Kara being hypnotized by each other. It fits perfectly! You couldn't resist, I can't resist, they can't resist. None of us should.

Hee! I'd like to see Season 4 be the rebirth of the eye-mouth-love trope! Resistance is futile. ;-)
