Discovered in Brandy Butter

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

My offering for December lst is my first songvid. It is not holiday related, but it is presented to all of you as a gift. It was done on a new computer with a new OS and a new program pre-loaded onto the laptop that the OS does not like. Go figure. I hope it works for the viewers in more ways than one!

Title: So Cold
Artist: Breaking Benjamin
Vidder: Kat
Size: 35MB

I have made it available for download at two sites:

There are so many people I wish to thank for their help and support. I'd name names but I hate to embarrass them, so to all of you, thanks!

Well done, you! I love it despite the fact that it's rather sad but it holds a promise which makes it all better in the end. The special effects are quite cool and the song fits like a glove. Hope there's more to come in the future. Thanks for sharing this, hon.

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much. It is just a bit sad, but we know things work out. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Great choice of song! You've used a few unusual scene selections too, and they're very effective - I like the Bodie running outdoors one. Thank you!

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

Thanks for watching the vid. I'm glad you liked the scenes. And you're welcome.

[angel-ci5.livejournal.com]

What a lovely song, very moving and it worked beautifully with the scenes in the video. Thank you!

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

Thank you for watching. I appreciate your kind words.

I am always admiring of anyone who vids. *g* This is a nice recapitulation of DIAG, and a gorgeous song. As always, I come away from a song vid with a new appreciation for the episode, as well as the lads. They are...wonderful, aren't they? Bodie, in particular here...it's amazing what music and lyrics can bring out. Thank you!

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

What a nice compliment. Thanks! I really have wanted to vid for a long time, and I still have many bugs to work through, but I loved doing it. And they are wonderful. As much as it is Doyle who is hurt, I see it as very much a Bodie ep as well.

[ankaree.livejournal.com]

I love this vid! Very touching, good use of clips and the song choice was perfect. You did a great job, Kat. Can't wait to see more from you *bg*. Thanks for sharing!

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

Thanks, hon. It's all yours. If not for you, I'd never have tried.

[gilda-elise.livejournal.com]

Great vid! It encapsulates the episodes really well, so the viewer gets the emotional punch of the original.

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

Oh, good. I'm so happy you felt the emotion in the vid. Thanks!

[loyseofverlaine.livejournal.com]

Your first? I'm very impressed. Your cutting and timing are excellent, and the clips work well with the song. Made me feel quite shivery.

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

Thanks, V! Yes, my first born. I've sent it out into the cold world to make its way. *g* I'm happy you felt the song and clips worked for you.

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

Well done, Kat! An excellent distillation of a seminal ep. The song chocie was so evocative of the mood of the episode, and you made me feel for Bodie all over again..

A lovely first pressie - thank you!

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

Thanks, S. I will admit, it was the only ep I had on the laptop at the time! LOL! But I'd wanted to use that song and I thought they worked together, so a songvid was born. *g*

[shaw012145.livejournal.com]

Well done ! Love the effects and hope to see more from you.

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it, and I do hope to do more.

[rosie55.livejournal.com]

This is great, nicely paced and the song works so well. I'm very impressed with this as a first vid, amazing! And very tempting to keep watching it, again and again!
Thank you so much for such a good start to the DIBB challenge!

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

Thanks a lot for watching my vid and for your kind comments. I admit I was nervous being first so I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I have a feeling this challenge will be fabulous! I'm excited to see everybody's tribs.

[hsv-fangirl.livejournal.com]

This very good! I was mesmerized while watching it!

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I appreciate your letting me know you liked it.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Oh yeay - lovely start to Brandy Butter, thank you! I especially liked the words "Let's give this another try" as they walked away from the laundrette together too! And as others have said, nice distillation of the ep!

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

Thank you, J. I'm so happy to be a part of this great project.

[ancastar.livejournal.com]

Hey, kiddo! Way to go. I guess you won't need that vid from me after all. :-) You should be very proud of yourself, being able to get that first vid under your belt. You realize it's all downhill from here, don't you? You'll soon slip into bleary-eyed Vid Farr (tm PRZed). It's inevitable. I don't envy you. ;-)

Seriously, well done. Can't wait to see what you come up with next.

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

Thanks, An! I loved every second of Vista and WMM having a huge battle. LOL! Seriously, I enjoyed myself doing this one, and I've already started down that slippery slope. Thank you for watching.

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

I guess you won't need that vid from me after all.

All I can say is: fat chance, frog lips. *beg* Keep vidding. I'm waiting...

[ancastar.livejournal.com]

fat chance, frog lips

I'm sitting on top of my mountain with the wind HOWLING around my house, and this may have very well made my night. :-D Thanks for making me laugh out loud!

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

Good grief, Take care! Glad I made you laugh.

[myrebelcat.livejournal.com]

Ohh... I really liked the wavy effect in the very beginning when the car's coming around the corner! That really the song off feeling unbalanced and unsettled.

Nice job!

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Rebel. I'm so glad you watched my vid. Cool that you noticed my intro. Makes me feel like I'm on the right track.

So Cold

[elizabethhelena.livejournal.com]

The music and the episode worked seamlessly. Thanks for the gift of hurt Doyle and running Bodie. :-)

Re: So Cold

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much for watching my vid. I appreciate that.

[melanieathene.livejournal.com]

I can't believe this is your first fanvid! I hope to see many more from you in the future.

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much! I hope to do more. I've always loved songvids in any fandom, and it was such fun doing one of my lads.

[bistokidsfan77.livejournal.com]

One of my all time favorite episodes. Beautiful vid.

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

Thanks for watching and commenting. It means a lot to me.

[shooting2kill.livejournal.com]

I think it's my age, you know, but for some reason I thought this was a story and I was saving it up until I had time to read it......! anyway, I enjoyed your vid very much and can only repeat what was said above, that I particularly loved the scene with Bodie running (I always love watching Bodie run). And the song was a good choice.

Many thanks for sharing.

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you got a chance to watch it. Thanks for the kind words. That Bodie scene of him running happens to be a favorite of mine, so I was happy I found a place for it.

[blkandwhtcat.livejournal.com]

This was great - thanks!

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

You are very welcome. Glad you enjoyed it.

[magenta-blue.livejournal.com]

Hello - finally got here!

I like the way you have done this vid and chosen the clips, they really suit the lyrics. And the screengrabs really work with the ending... makes it very dramatic! Clever to do a vid from one ep, I can imagine that was very hard to do, so well done, as it works fantastically!

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for the kind words. I had no clue what to do making my first vid so I forged ahead and hoped the viewers enjoyed it! I know I had a ball making it. I've seen single ep vids in other fandoms, and the song lyrics called to me. *g*

[magnifica7.livejournal.com]

Excellent! Fine editing - great song choice. I admire your vidding skills! :)

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I appreciate your watching the vid and letting me know you enjoyed it.

[siskiou.livejournal.com]

I'm way late to this (am currently checking out all the older pros newsletters and found the link there).
Both places no longer have the vid on file. Is it archived somewhere?
I'd love to watch it!

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

Yes, on my website:

almostpuresentinel.popullus.net

Just click on the Pros pic and you'll see all the stories and songvids on one page.

Also there is a link to my website on the user info page of my LJ.

Enjoy!

[siskiou.livejournal.com]

Thanks!
I'll head over there right now! :)
