LOL -- no you're totally right. The song's so freaking slow. A lot of scenes were just moving too fast for the song.
I really liked the long shot of Brian in the blue-lit back room while the piano plays.
That scene just makes my heart hurt. Of course, the reason it's a long shot is because it's at half speed. I think the majority of this vid was at half speed.
Also love the shot from 308 with Justin in the bar after Brian has walked off
I really liked making that part. "Our little group has always been and always will be until the end." That in contrast with Justin just standing there alone an disillusioned.
The 308 sex scene in slow? That's what I was talking about in the first paragraph. Very nicely done, imo.
Personally my favorite part of the vid. I'm so glad you liked it!
Oh, and I really love the merge between Brian dancing alone and the 309 opening sequence. That's just really nice and I've not see that combo before. It struck me as rather fresh.
That's exactly the reaction I was hoping for! While I was making that part I was kind of worried because *everyone* uses those scenes in their vids. I thought maybe if I spliced them it would seem more original.
there just seems this hint of inevitability to that scene that lends it to feeling, for lack of a better term, desperate, when set against this music
I decided early on that I was going to use this set of scenes for the ending. Brian and Justin didn't really have this beautiful happily-ever-after reunion. They were both still really damaged from the breakup. There relationship was still kind of fucked up. I think the reunion sex was a reprieve from all that. They were both just pretending everything was okay for a moment. Have sex now. Fix relationship later. So in my mind, it just fit to put that scene to those words.
Gah. Philosophising again.
I'll have highspeed again within a month. I can't send you the whole episodes until then, but if you want clips of my pretty source I can make clips for you to send sooner.
Thanks so much for the detailed feedback! You can see from my equally detailed reply that I very much appreciated it.
