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.

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!

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/

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.

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*

[revbiscuit.livejournal.com]

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

[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.

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.

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

[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]

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

[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.
