Fanvid, say what??

[dollsome]

This is the first time I have fanvidded in ages, like, over a year. I have come to fear subjecting my poor old computer to the myriad evils of Windows Movie Maker, but some things are worth it, by Jove. (I'm also pretty sure I had homework today. Whoopsies!)

I was totally random in my song selection here, because this one's such a jaunty upbeat ditty about unhealthy relationships & perpetual heartbreak that I never quite thought to associate it with them. But then I just kept going, and going, and going, and now, somehow, there is a fanvid.

Props to oltha_heri, who is the DeWitt/Dom + Florence & The Machine fanvidding pioneer! Go watch her Hardest of Hearts if you haven't already; SO MUCH THAT IS PRETTY.

I feel like I should admit up front for the sake of things like honesty that I possibly went a bit overboard with the whole 'Roger is totally Adelle's substitute Dominic, zomg!' theme. Some things cannot be stopped!

These are all season one clips, so no need to beware of spoilers! Unless, you know, you're really behind.

(I may or may not have picked my embedding border colours to match Adelle's office. Hum dee dum.)

I'm Not Calling You A Liar

I'm not calling you a liar,
Just don't lie to me
I'm not calling you a thief,
Just don't steal from me
I'm not calling you a ghost,
Just stop haunting me
And I'll love you so much
I'm gonna let you
Kill me

There's a ghost in my lungs
And it sighs in my sleep,
Wraps itself around my tongue
As it softly speaks,
And it walks,
And it walks with my legs
To fall
To fall
To fall at your feet

There but for the grace of God go on
And when you kiss me, I'm happy enough to die.

Okay, seriously, what the hell is going on with those vids? This was AWESOME, too!!! DeWitt/Dom are just SPILLING AWESOMENESS ALL AROUND THEM. And Florence & The Machine? OMG. I have a... wait for it... D/D fic in production with her song Falling!!! Omg. This is getting better and better. Thanks for this :)

I loved the chair scenes going together. And how you matched the Dominic and Roger together. And HEARN TORTURE! (there is quite possibly something wrong with us, just you know noting that fact). I also loved the use of the scene with the white shirt (what Adelle's wardrobe is so the easiest way for me to recognize things), you cut that together with the music really well.

You're gonna make me give in and make me vid "Girl With One Eye" and/or "Blinding" aren't you? (I'd include Falling but I've been informed that one's going to be covered, I'll also leave Blinding to you if you want as it was on your mix. Oh Florence stop writing fucked up songs with good beats that go with fucked up ships I love.) I was totally going to mix it up and not use Florence + The Machine (or Tegan & Sara, but different story).

AND JUST KEEP POSTING ALL THE D/D IN THIS VOLUME PLEASE!!!!

And I just wanna check, did you get my comment with the 2x11 footage?

EDIT: I just checked you had Bird Song. Seriously way too many songs by one artist that suit them. or maybe we're that obsessed

I LOVE THIS. I love Florence, she has the perfect album for all my nefarious, sexy, messed up ships. I really love the Dom/Roger parallels and they are cut together SO WELL!

♥ ♥

I love how you intercut the scenes, especially the one in Dr. Saunders' office, Adelle watching Victor and then Adelle/Roger and then Adelle/Laurence. AHEEE. It made my heart go all flaily.

I also like Adelle sitting on the chair cut to Dominic sitting on her chair. Beautifully done.

I'm not calling you a thief,
Just don't steal from me

*whispers* he stole your heart and you're angry that you never realized it until it was too late

LOVE THIS! Thanks for helping fill the last few days with Dewitt/Dominic love! <3

This song is so beautiful, and so appropriate for them! And to be honest after hearing about Florence all over this comm I actually went on iTunes and bought the album, a decision I now feel very good about because they are so good and also so, so applicable to D/D.

And the editing was so well done! I liked the parts where you let the dialogue go over the music, because you chose the scenes so well and it had a really good impact. And I also like how you interspered the choking-her-on-the-couch-scene with the sex-with-Roger scene, especially the matching shots of her head falling back, that was very nicely done. Also, that is some of the best use of the walking and talking footage yet!

And the day this comm stops being crazy busy is going to be a very, very sad one ♥

OH THIS. OH THIS! IT IS JUST SO BEAUTIFUL. I LOVE IT SO MUCH.

I wish I could give you more feedback other than I LOVE IT OMGGG!! but I have to go to work. WORK IS GETTING IN THE WAY OF FANDOM LIFE THIS WEEK. DO NOT WANT.

[amzzzziohi.livejournal.com]

hfdshjki! AHHH! Seriously ♥ !!! I LOVE how you've blended the Roger/Dominic esp the choking with the bed scene!!! Serious awesomeness!!!
To think I almost went the whole day without posting something here
Lawlz, I encourage your posting of brilliance!!! ♥

[otahyoni.livejournal.com]

This makes me happy. You know, in its sad, twisted, depressing way. :) Ohhhhh, these two! ♥

Also loving the title manip. Man, these are pretty people.

[sevendayloan.livejournal.com]

OKAY, I DO BELIEVE IT IS OFFICIAL! FLORENCE + THE MACHINE SINGS ABOUT D/D.

Anyway, yesss, I kind of love you now. Nothing better than a new video in the morning! The clips were gorgeous, and I loved the way you interspersed the dialogue. Epic win! ♥

[morgan72uk.livejournal.com]

Oh - its so good. And clearly lots of Florence + the Machine songs are about the two of them... Also, I'd forgotten how amazing her response is to 'you're a piece of work' it shouldn't possible to deliver that line and be both evil bitch and heart-breakingly poignant as well. Cudos for using that moment so beautifully.

I really liked this! I thought the clips progressed really well, and the music created a very apt sense of angst. :)

[whirligigged.livejournal.com]

Aaah, I love how many parallels you found in these clips! Their little leaning back in the chair moments, and HOW MUCH DID I LOVE Adelle being pushed onto the couch/bed clips put next to one another. Lovely lovely lovely.

By the way, I recall you had a fondness for Ryan Seacrest and Simon? Midway down this article has a couple of paragraphs on "Ryan in Tears Over Split From Simon" and I thought it was kind of nice.

THIS IS SO AWESOME. ♥ I am still (okay, well, I only watched it, like, an hour ago) flailing over ep. 11, and this was just - I LOVE THEM MORE WITH EVERY SINGLE EPISODE, EVEN THE ONES HE'S NOT IN. HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?
