three Star Wars OT vids

[lotesse]

I didn't entirely mean to make three of these - I started with a remaster of the Luke-centric vid that was the first thing I ever made, and that only got uploaded behind lock, but then there was all this footage that I wanted to use and I love the visuals of the OT almost as much as I love the characterization and then I realized that I could do a trilogy to Regina Spektor songs. So that is what I did. I'm listing these in the order that I made them, because they kind of served as a vidding journeyman project - although I'd still really appreciate concrit and vidding tips!

the one where being everyone's messiah is actually kind of rubbish:
title: human of the year
fandom: Star Wars Original Trilogy
music: Regina Spektor
length: 4:07
summary: {Luke character study} hello, hello, calling a Luke Skywalker to the front of the cathedral, you have won

I don't have much to say, but I really liked these, especially Leia's, and that you incorporated extra footage - I'm not sure how obvious they are to people who don't already know which are which. I enjoyed the lyrics and visuals sometimes matching up in a really obvious way, and sometimes not so much. Also, the shot of Alderaan at the end of Leia's was just ... ouch.

Fascinating and lovely musical choices. I think the vids are strongest when you manage to use longer shots, with thoughtfulness and subtle motion, but feeling like they mirror the simplicity and directness of the music, rather than just being lengthy for the hell of it. I think you achieve this best in All The Rowboats.

wonderful set of vids!

... eeeeeeee. :D I am currently experiencing a massive revival of Star Wars FEELS for, uh, obvious reasons (I haven't seen the new movie yet, but I can't wait) and in order to keep myself from exploding until I can see the movie, I went looking for vids and ran across these ones. These are so great. :D The Han one is my favorite; I have ALREADY watched it at least three or four times (and how much do I love that you included that utterly lovely goodbye scene with Luke and Han from the deleted Return of the Jedi scenes - still so sad it didn't stay in the actual movie!). But they are all absolutely gorgeous. ALL THE FEELS. ALL OF THEM. :D

Thank you so much for the awesome comment; I'm really glad you've been enjoying these vids. I had such a good time making them.
