Falling down on lead wings, torn apart
Apr. 15th, 2009 06:21 pmI've been wanting to do another music video for a long time, but when I switched to Mac I lost my Premiere and all the surrounding tools that I had built up, so it's been hard to even consider tackling all that again. But I think this is something I'd love to do during my (very short) summer, and I finally have an idea I love!
The song is called "Destroying Angel" by Sneaker Pimps, and I want to do a video to it about Kara (and Leoben and maybe Lee and/or Sam) of BSG!
I've loved this song (and this band) for a long time, and their music has always felt perfect for vidding to me - haunting, melodic and weird, with very unique rhythmic patterns and instruments, which is exactly what I love to vid (that perfectly describes No More Good Guys, the song I vidded for Faith). The problem was that I could never get a subject I wanted to vid to match with their lyrics, but today I was listening to my iPod, this song came up, and I was like "....KARA!" It took the events of the end of season 4 to make me see the connection, but it's definitely there.
This is the song:
This is a live version, but it sounds incredibly close to the recording, and I thought you wouldn't mind the very cute (and androgynous) singer! ;)
( The lyrics and some thoughts. Spoilers for ALL of BSG. )
It's all still extremely sketchy in my head, but I can see this becoming something beautiful. It's an intimidating idea, because there is SO much source material and I don't even own all of it, but I think it would be a whole lot of fun. I do love my Kara, and making a vid of her would nicely round out a trio of vidded obsessions (Faith and Winchesters being the other two). Does anybody have any thoughts they'd like to throw in? Even if it's just to tell me that yes, this is a viable/good idea, or no, here's the issue with it... I just want to talk this out with someone else who knows the canon!
