LotR vid (B/A)

[zasjah.livejournal.com]

In honor of Boromir's death on February 26 I put together my first B/A fanvid: Time, by Sarah McLachlan. Technically it's nowhere near perfect (getting rid of interlacing for example is my next project), and trying to compress it to a size that was a) not eating everyone's bandwidth and b) retaining at least a modicum of audio and video quality probably took more time than making the actual vid. I have tried other formats but found that WMV produced the best results. If anyone cannot watch this format for some reason, drop me a note what /will/ work for you and I'll do my best to comply. And if anyone has any suggestions about how to better the vid, I'm more than open to suggestions!

I would like to thank jtriskell, makamu for the helpful comments on the first draft and cruisedirector and przed for the encouragement.

Please right click and save to spare a poor woman's bandwidth!! :-)

Time here,
all but means nothing, just shadows that move across the wall
They keep me company, but they don't ask of me
they don't say nothing at all.
And I need just a little more silence
And I need just a little more time
But you send your thieves to me
silently stalking me
Dragging me into your war
Would you give me no choice in this?
I know you can't resist, trying reopen a sore

Leave me be, I don't want to argue
I'd just get confused and I'd come all undone
If I agree, well, it's just to appease you
Cause I don't remember what we're fighting for

You see love-- a tight, thorny thread that you spin in a circle of gold
You have me to hold me
a token for all to see
captured to be yours alone
And I need just a little more silence,
and I just need a little more time
The courage to pull away
there will be hell to pay
the deeper you cut to the bone

Leave me be, I don't want to argue
I'd just get confused and I'd come all undone
If I agree, well, it's just to appease you
Cause I don't remember what we're fighting for

Time here,
all but means nothing,
just shadows that move across the wall
They keep me company,
but they don't ask of me
they don't say nothing at all.

Leave me be, I don't want to argue
I'd just get confused and I'd come all undone
If I agree, well, it's just to appease you
Cause I don't remember what we're fighting for

Oh, nicely done! Lovely interweaving of the lyrics and scenes. I was really in the mood for A/B, too. :)

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it and that you thought text and image fit! And yes, I have been in the mood for A/B too for quite a bit again, but for some reason I couldn't write about them. So I had to make a vid. *g*

That was beautiful! I'm completely at a loss for words.
*loses power of speech* *goes to the corner and sobs*

*hands you a handkerchief to dry your tears* I know, I cried myself when I was editing it, the original material is so intensely powerful.
I'm so glad you liked, thank you for most kind words!

Thank you so much for reminding me of all the reasons why I fell in love with Boromir *g*

You're most welcome. I fell in love with him all over again as well when I was making this vid. :-)

Oh, and I /love/ your icon!

Lol, if you like that Boromir icon you should visit here:

I'm only sorry I have stretched my 50 userpics to the limit, or I'd be using even more of Wizzy's stuff

Those are very very pretty icons indeed!!! Thank you for the link!

Has the URL for the song vid changed? I can't seem to get it to work.

But thanks so much for wishing to share this! *warm embrace*
