Festivids: "Much Ado About True Love" and "Girls Chase Boys"
It's been a long, long time since I made a vid. The last one I created was for my brother's funeral over three years ago. That took a lot out of me and kinda squashed any vidding urges I had for quite a while.
When I sawskygiants' Festivids requests pop up on the pinch hit list, I was lured in by the thought of making a "Much Ado About Nothing" vid. I've loved that movie since the first time I saw it, with its amazing banter and chemistry between Emma Thompson and Kenneth Branagh. I dithered long enough that the pinch hit was claimed, but the idea had taken root and wouldn't let me go, and since it had been so long since a vidding idea grabbed me so hard, I decided to go for it. I spent a few hours looking for music, and with that nailed down, the vid came together over three days. There were a lot of meetings that week at work, so multitasking FTW!
With a solid version finished, there was a bit of time before the submission deadline. I had the source already and a different take, and the vidding bit between my teeth, so in the time left before Go Live, I pulled together "Girls Chase Boys".
I hope the condensed timeline in which I made these doesn't show too badly, not to mention the music alterations and cuts. I was certainly blown away by all the positive comments left on the posts, especially the ones fromskygiants. With that kind of enthusiastic and detailed feedback, I would make vids for her any day. :D
I tweaked a couple things in the updated version, and built subtitle files for the first time (!!!), so it's taken me a bit to write up a vid post. Vid in haste, review in leisure?
You can watch them here or on A03:

If anyone wants copies of these, let me know and I will upload them.

I tried to disguise that I made them both, so I'm glad to hear that you didn't immediately suspect that.
Yay, Festivids!
