Vid: Handle with care

[bop_radar]

I'm going to view and post on the latest FNL episode later today, but meanwhile I have a vid for you...

Title: Handle with care (cover by Jenny Lewis with the Watson Twins)
Fandom: Friday Night Lights
Description: ensemble cast vid
Download: direct download (23 MB) or streaming on YouTube
Notes: This vid is dedicated to my fellow FNL fans on LJ. Season 1 was probably the most perfect season of television I've ever watched--not one flat episode. In comparison, there's been somewhat of a Season 2 malaise, however this show still has more heart and soul in one five-minute block then most of the shows out there manage in a whole episode. So I set myself a challenge: to construct a vid using footage from just the latest three episodes. It was amazing how much I had to leave out!

The vid's unbetaed and deliberately left a bit rough, since I was pushing myself to complete it in one week. The downloaded footage is a bit grainy when there's lots of movement. And yes, I do hope to make some more polished FNL vids one day.

For those of you not already watching this amazing show, please consider watching the vid to see what you're missing! ;) And if you like the vid OR the show, at all, please PLEASE sign this petition to save it.

Oh wow, that's only three episodes? I never would have guessed that, it feels so complex!

Loved all the continued movement connecting the clips--it made your mood changes back and forth between joyous and angsty so fluid. And I think that sums up what I enjoyed the most about this. It covered the whole gamut of emotions over and over, and each time the tone changed, it felt completely natural. :}

Oh, and you asked about the clip weirdness and Java Jive. I did see again, but I'm really thinking it might be something on my end. It's the most noticeable to me on clips like, near the beginning (0:10) with the waitress, and the one of the coffe maker (0:15) and Lois. Unless the video is pausing on purpose there. But it didn't quite line up on the beats, so I think it's the weirdness again. Seriously though, if no one else sees it, it's gotta be on my machine. And it's not like it keeps me from enjoying them. ;D

Thank you! :) It's such a great ensemble show--it gave me buckets to work with, and I got a kick out of deliberately restricting myself to three eps.

Yay! Thanks--I had a lot of fun with that, and i'm really glad it resulted in a natural emotional journey--that was an important goal when I was vidding multiple characters to the one song.

Thanks for the f/b on Java Jive, but yeah, it does sound like it's an isolated thing as others are finding it fine. How curious! Perhaps it will clear up over time? *randomly hopeful about the mysteries of these things*
