Slipped Away, Avril Lavigne
Na na
Na na na na na

I miss you / Miss you so bad
I don't forget you / Oh it's so sad
I hope you can hear me / I remember it clearly

The day you slipped away
Was the day I found
It won't be the same

I didn't get around to kiss you / Goodbye on the hand
I wish that I could see you again / I know that I can't ooooooooooooh
I hope you can hear me / Cause I remember it clearly

The day you slipped away
Was the day I found
It won't be the same

I've had my wake up / Won't you wake up
I keep asking why / And I can't take it
It wasn't fake / It happened you passed by

Now you're gone / Now you're gone
There you go / There you go
Somewhere I can't bring you back
Now you're gone / Now you're gone
There you go / There you go
Somewhere you're not coming back

The day you slipped away
Was the day I found
It won't be the same

The day you slipped away
Was the day I found
It won't be the same

Na na
Na na na na na

I miss you


→ I started this video in early November just after my Battlestar Inferno video. I'm not sure why I couldn't make it come together until now. But I do wanna thank Dayl for encouraging me to finally get it done. I did it. So now it's done. Thank the Lords of Kobol!

→ My whole theory was this video was that it wasn't going to be a shipper video, or a triangle video, but rather a statement. That both Lee and Sam lost Kara, long before she ever died, and that it has a lot more to do with Kara and her perpetual frakked-up-ness, than it has to do with either of them.

→ I think I did have some reservations at first about using the song. Something about using a song with lyrics like "na na na na na" and "I miss you" just screams, STOP! PUT IT DOWN! to me. But this time, I didn't listen. Go me.

→ I almost didn't put coloring on this. I was this!close. I'm not sure what happened there.

→Whew!

Ohhhhhhhh, KC. *SO* beautiful!!!!! I really love the colouring and your editing, oh my gosh! Your subtle use of motion blur in here was REALLY great; almost unnoticeable at first but it really packs a punch. And that last shot of the little girl (who I'm assuming is little!Kara) fading through into adult Kara was just gorgeous.

Yay the Kara/Leoben paint!sex scene, too!!!!

*worships at your feet*

Thanks Kayl! I'm glad you like the coloring I was actually going to leave it out, but I changed my mind last minute. There's a couple parts in there where the fade is less than subtle hahah but I'm glad it works! And right, that's mini!Kara!

Thank you Kayla, you really should be watching this show you know!!!

it looks like it took you quite the while, it was soooo beautiful miss kc!!! this is one triangle where it could end either way and my insides would sigh happily. Great song choice-brilliant editing of course, you rock!

[info]crickets

March 3 2008, 01:11:12 UTC 4 years ago

I worked on it for a while back in November and have been pretty blocked for it ever since. But I finally got it done, thank goodness! I really feel the same way about the "triangle." Although I kinda that creepy cylon guy, too, ahhaha. But whatever. Kara is so awesome she could end up with Hotdog and I'd be happy. Hotdog's not too shabby himself. LMAO. Wow this veered a little to the left I think. *applies the breaks* Thank you Laura! :D

That was great. It felt more like a character study on Kara than a shipper video. *sigh* Is it April yet?!

This is so sad, you've really highlighted how much kara fucks up all her chances for happiness. But in a weird way it also gives me hope that maybe this season will be different for her. That her 'death' will have changed something inside her.

Aw, yes, poor Kara. But that is what makes here so fun to watch in some ways. I cannot wait until this season. So sad it's the last, though. BTW! Thank you very much for watching and commenting! Got so wrapped up talking about the show I forgot to say that! :D

OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODS.
Wowowowowowow. Ok, this was awesome. The editting was killer. it brought tears to my eyes. I'm not lying. Kara ftw! \0/
You are like my vidding idol. I don't know how to vid at all but here's hoping I'll learn someday and then someone can be in awe of me as much as I am of you. :D

[info]crickets

March 3 2008, 04:41:08 UTC 4 years ago

Hey you! Thank you honey! *blushh* Aw, tears? Seriously! *hugs*

You know if you decide to get into vidding, I recommend Vegas or Premiere (I don't use the latter but I've seen some of the things people have made with it) and if you do use Vegas I can give you tips when you're in need!

Quite an amazing video! And a daring song too! I myself wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot pole! lol! (Maybe because I watch too many PB&J vids to that song) But you made it work amazingly. I love the subtle effects and the different angle you shown to Kara's relationships. Great job!

[info]crickets

March 3 2008, 04:43:01 UTC 4 years ago

Ah yeah I was kind of afraid of it, and honestly it was such a long time ago (november) that I don't even know what compelled me to pick this song. Maybe I heard it on the radio or? I dunno! But I think it worked out. Sometimes it's a little daunting picking something that been done so often, ya know?

And thanks so much!

Hi! I followed the link from [info]bsg_creative and I just have to say this video is AMAZING! I love how smooth it is and how it flows and goes together with the music.

[info]crickets

March 3 2008, 04:44:38 UTC 4 years ago

Howdy! You are totally awesome for letting me know where you got the link, first of all. And secondly, thank you so much for taking the time to come on over here and watch and comment! I'm glad you liked it! ♥!

That was amazing. I was a little wary because of the song choice but you pulled it off. It was gorgeous and broke my heart. Thanks for sharing!

[info]crickets

March 3 2008, 05:24:52 UTC 4 years ago

I know, I know! I was very afraid the song might scare people off so thank you very much for giving it a chance despite the song! I really appreciate it! And I'm glad that it exceeded expectations! :D

Thank you so much sweetie! By the way, I've added you!

[info]hollywoodgrrl

March 3 2008, 14:12:56 UTC 4 years ago

First of all BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!

Second...I adore you for putting it this way --> that both Lee and Sam lost Kara, long before she ever died.

Third of all BEAUTIFUUUUULLLLLL!!!!!!!!!

I adore the concept of it, and the editing of course. You had some incredible masking there and just...KARA!!! I loved the last shot a lot. :)

Srsly, I adore your coloring. I love it especially in this vid because it's so slight. You can hardly tell that you did something, and yet you did! You made a tutorial once, right? Where be it? :P


[info]crickets

March 3 2008, 19:28:30 UTC 4 years ago Edited:  March 3 2008, 19:38:08 UTC

Thank you, thank you! I love getting comments from you! *tacklehugs*

And yes, I totally did. I should probably re-post it here or something. Anyway, it's over at LVI: here.

A lot of people had been asking me about my coloring and so I did a tutorial showing how I got the coloring in my most recent vid at that time. So, while it is completely relative to that vid, my goal was to show how I used the effects so that people could apply them in their own ways? Not to create a "definitive guide to coloring" cause... well I'm just not that good. Hahaha.

In You Passed By, I used one layer of curves over the entire track, and then on individual clips I either used nothing, one layer of color balance, or a layer of CB combined with brightness/contrast. So it's definitely not as intensive as the video in the tutorial I've linked you to! (Which is very pink and blue!) Always kind of evolving. I rarely use saturation anymore, for example.

And there's a huge part of me that wants to do some vids with no coloring at all haha. I dunno what that's about. Hehe.

Anyway, good luck!

Wanted to ETA to say that BSG is one of those shows where they do different coloring things for different scenes/locales so it's hard to get one coloring to match every clip you're going to use. Hence the differing effects on clips.

First of all, I have to say that I think it's awesome that you had the guts to use this song - I personally love it, but I know that some people might be turned off by it - but I think it's awesome you went ahead and used it anyway. Balls. Nice ;)
I think the coloring you decided to use worked very nicely too - very subtle, but still very pretty!
→ I love that little bit of motion blur you used right on the beat - it looks so cooool. I think I told you before, but it totally reminds me of in SPN when there's like a spirit or something..so very nifty indeed
→ I love that you showed her actual death right in the beginning - I think that worked really well to set the stage for the rest of the video, going back and showing that she was 'gone' long before that
→ 1:12 Awwww Kara/Anders. I love this part. A perfect fit with the lyrics, and that last shot of him standing there with the plane taking of just...breaks my heart.
→ 1:57 I told you this already too, but I love those beats there - the similarities between the two pairings. Just looks cool and creative and awesome.
→ 2:17 favorite part of the whole video, so intense and the shot with that coloring and the light coming through and it's just all so pretty and...yes. *loves*
And lots of squeeing for Leoben ;) Totally
Plus the ending is just gorgeous and I love that it comes full circle with the boxing match and then that shot of her at the very end..Oh Kara.

In short....or not apparently...I loved this SO so much. Amazing my love :)

Extremely cool effects and coloring, like always. :) I like the editing of her continually walking away too.

...both Lee and Sam lost Kara, long before she ever died...
If they ever had her at all.

I love this video and keep playing it. The last fifteen seconds from Kara/Sam on Caprica to little girl Kara fading is particularly poignant. Many vids grab me with their beginnings (yours are no exception) but I like the endings of your vids very much as well. So touching. And I miss Kara. How many days?

Thank you for your hard work! Oh, and I really like this song. Haunting.

[info]crickets

March 7 2008, 21:20:41 UTC 4 years ago

Aw well thank you very much. Oftentimes I'll get the idea for the ending long before my beginning is "settled" so perhaps I just put more emphasis on it? Sometimes, the ending is the first thing I lay down, actually! I'm glad you enjoy them! And I'm glad you liked this so much. Appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment!

♥!

Sorry I didn't watch this yet! Finally getting me caught up on some vid watching! YAY!

Anyways - I LOVED that! Beautiful. Glad you decided to use the colouring, looks really great! It's a great character study and not just a shipper vid. The whole thing is just gorgeous! *loves*

Hey and thanks for getting me into the show, tis Awesome! ;)

I really love this video. It was one where I had to watch it more than once until it clicked and I was like, "What the hell! This is awesome!". Looking at not just Kara really, but looking at how Kara effected the men around her. It was beautiful. My favorite part was at the end when you went into Leobon. Your use of clips were excellent.

[info]crickets

March 30 2008, 15:51:03 UTC 4 years ago

OH KARA.

That one was sad, and awesome, and yay, Kara/Leoben! I loved it, too.

WHY ARE YOU SO AWESOME, ZOMG. ::fangirls::

Do you have Sam/Leoben vid? ::looks wide-eyed:: I might DIE if you did.
