Yay festivities!!

HEY EVERYBODY! Welcome to rat_jam weekend!!

Guess what! revbiscuit has made a DS vid special for rat_jam! (It's fantastic -- I keep watching it over and over -- and it's her first vid ever which blows my mind a little.)

We'll be opening the chatroom for the Viewing Party in about an hour, so in the meantime, check this out!

*puts on Kermit-the-Frog hat*

And now...to get you ready for 38 hours of viewing festivities, allow me to present the lovely and amazing revbiscuit!! Yaaaaaaaaaaay!!! \o/

...

Greetings, fellow rat_jammers. I am revbiscuit. I just wanted to say thank you for all the fics and vids I've enjoyed since I discovered fandom. In this spirit, I offer you my very first vid.

If you like it, go and thank the lovely lipstickcat, and especially the ever-so-patient taverymate, who gave me such comprehensive feedback that if I knew where she lived I'd send her my weight in chocolate. If it's a load of pants, it's because I either couldn't or didn't follow their advice. Needless to say feedback of any kind will be most welcome.

Music: Learning to Fly by Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers.
Fandom: due South - Spoilers for the whole show.
Pairing: F/K, F&V friendship.
Summary: A journey of discovery (with bizarre stunts).

Download .wmv file (14.6Mb) from here or, if you prefer, you can stream it at my imeem page.

Just a word of warning: It does this little 'skip' thing with the title if you view it with VLC player. I have no idea why that is or how to fix it, but once it gets past the first second or so, it seems to be fine.

eta: Yes, this is the right post for leaving feedback on the vid for revbiscuit! Please comment & tell her how awesome she is!! \o/

Fnee fnoo fnah? I am incoherent.

Is this where we feedback the vid? Because that vid was so amazing, I had to smoke a cigarette after I watched it. Yup, that's my feedback. That vid was like really good sex.

First one, huh? That's one gifted vidder.

Thank you! I'm so happy you liked it. I'm not sure how I feel about the fact that it might encourage smoking, though. *g*

You rock! Like an extremely large rocky thing. A boulder! You rock like a boulder.

Seriously, that was excellent. Particularly the bit where Ray K looks like something's been shoved somewhere interesting and the lyrics are 'what goes up' Hee!

Thanks for this!

[revbiscuit.livejournal.com]

Hee! Thank you. I've just had more food, I *feel* like a boulder now.

That was amazing! I can't believe it's your first vid! I loved it so much I had to give everyone in the chat a blow-by-blow account and it made my face hurt with :D. Especially the bit where Fraser's conducting Mahler and it's in time with the music! \o/

[revbiscuit.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Conductor!Fraser rocks, doesn't he? I had that bit in mind for the bridge right from the start. Glad you liked it, too.

Wow, that was great! And this was your first? *big eyes* I am even more impressed. I loved the section with Ray and Stella's divorce and Orsini "stealing the crown"--that was brilliant.

[revbiscuit.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the lovely comment. I'm really fond of the whole Stella section. I have a lot of time for her; sometimes things just don't work, no matter how hard you try. I'm really happy no-one's turned up at my door throwing cabbages actually, and yes it is my first one. Mind you, it took me long enough to make it!

Rev, don't forget to post a link at ds_noticeboard!! ♥

[revbiscuit.livejournal.com]

I won't forget, thank you. I was going to do it Monday, wait until people had come back from MJ.

[eledhwenlin]

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. You are made of AWESOME. I heart this vid like woah. :D

[revbiscuit.livejournal.com]

Yay! Consider it a thank you for all the stuff you've written.

[kill-claudio.livejournal.com]

This is your first vid? *dies of jealousy* This is unbelievable. I was going to comment with all the bits I love, but really, I love the whole thing so much it's impossible.

[revbiscuit.livejournal.com]

Thank you, that's so nice. I don't know what to say. I've never had to respond to so many nice comments before. I'm really happy you liked it.

[ignazwisdom.livejournal.com]

Oh, I love it! What a cool vid, and to such a great song. I hope you make many more :)

[revbiscuit.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much, I'm really happy you liked it. I'm thoroughly enjoying learning to make vids, and I am planning another one even as we speak, just not totally convinced about the song yet.
