Leverage Vid - Two Fingers, My Friends

[eleanorjane]

Finally, this vid is done and I can salvage what remains of my brain. My first-ever vid, in fact, so feedback is much appreciated!

Leverage - Two Fingers, My Friends
Music: “Everything’s Cool” by Pop Will Eat Itself
Pairing: Gen
Footage: Leverage season 1.

Although Leverage is all about the cons and the banter, many of the characters are damaged goods. As Sophie says. “We’re all addicts, Nate - we’re addicted to our pasts.”

Anyone know a Leverage fandom or vidding community where I could/should be sharing this? ;)

(I am so nervous now, I can't even say. Argh!)


Pop Will Eat Itself - Everything's Cool

These eyes see only what they wanna see
These ears hear only what they wanna hear
These minds think only what they wanna think
These lies, these lies

You won't find no answers in this head
What you see is what you get
Watch as all the lights go out
Down and out, out for the count

Take your places, choose your sins
Everyone loses, noone wins
I have seen the future and this is how it begins

[CHORUS]
In chaos and riots, the screech of machines
No right and no wrong and no in between
Fall one by one, the queen to her fool
Dos dedos mis amigos - everything's cool
Everything's...

These arms hold whoever needs to be held
These hands take whatever they wanna take
These words fake whoever needs to be faked
These lies, these lies

Look for clues inside the baby's head
Hear the words yet to be said
Cue the music, fade to black
No such thing as no payback

Take this line, know where it ends
No return, no make amends
Is this the future or this is how it will end?

Here via the Leverage community (on LJ, incidentally). This was awesome!

I have comments! But they're sort of lengthy... I dunno, do you want concrit? Or at least length personal opinion. I feel like I should ask. In any case, it will have to wait because a) I've had quite a bit of beer tonight and b) I have to get dressed and go out gothing. POP WILL EAT ITSELF REPRESENT. But I will definitely send you lengthy stuff tomorrow. If you want. Um.

I just want you let you know I've bookmarked this, as I'm working on two Leverage vids, and I don't like watching vids for fandoms I'm working on whilst I'm working on them if that makes sense. ;-)

Oooh, that song just worked so well for Leverage! Especially the way you did it. I loved the way you cut the motion to the music, especially in the instrumental parts, and the way you used black & white to carry through all the characaters, and I am bad at talking about vids, but this was wonderful!

Did you do something unusual to encode the vid? I've tried to play it with Totem and with VLC, and it just shuts them down. I've played other vidders' divx files, so I'm not sure what the difference is here.
