My First Attempt At Making A Fan Video

FINGERSMITH THE RIGHT WORDS VIDEO
1ST ATTEMPT AT VIDEO


I had just watched Fingersmith, and like anyone who has ever watched it I fell in love with it. So I decided to do a google search on it and happened on Youtube and the Breath me video. Well I loved this video so much I watched it a number of times a day.

Well I got to thinking, I had attempted to go to college for filmmaking 13 years ago, but had dropped out, yes a regret now!!! But in the past...

So I thought why not try my own hand at this stuff. I had the windows movie maker on the computer thanks to Bill Gates inclusive XP software!! So I thought I can do it, if it looks like shit then I can trash it and no one would be the wiser.

So I went through my music library on itunes and seeing as I love Tracy Chapman so much and her lyrics are so well written that they tell a complete story, and as if by fate they seemed ideal for the relationship between Sue and Maude, these 2 wonderful charcters that I had fallen in love with. So I found this song because I mean could it sum up the whole concept of this movie better?!?!

So from the song and a lot of time infront of the computer and learning rapidly things I could and could not do with the software or lack of knowledge. I came up with this little video.

I liked it and figured lets put it out there for the world to see, and if I get shitty responses then I need never do another one again.

Instead I got emails and comments with nothing but compliments about how people loved the fact that the words matched the clips.

I had noticed when I first started watching these fan vids that a lot of time it is just clips of the movie in some kind of a chronological order with a song that may or may not match the scene or the characters or the original storyline. Now I am not knocking you fellow vidders. I like the vids.

I just myself am more drawn to doing a literal interpretaion with my own story in my mind as to what is happening to the characters through out the video.

Now I could go into more detail on each video about my ideas for my own personal storyline. But will not for now but will if I am asked!!

So enjoy my first venture into the world of fanvids.

ENJOY
