I adored Too Much Light. Showed it (along with your Jungle Bunny vid) as soon as I got home and xlorp said: perfect match of song/tone/editing/show for the first and subversive/sick/provocative for the second (in other words - we both liked them).

austin bands, woot ♥

"with themes of disorientation and sex"

I may be stealing this phrase and incorporating it into as many situations as possible. And, indeed, for the vid. Well done! And I've stopped looking for you-know-what now, so that's a testament to the vid right there. Not that you-know-what wasn't fun. And a testament of its own kind, too.

I dearly loved Too Much Light at the Bar and am glad to see that you made it home safely without being blown up.

"Too Much Light" had me in stitches. Each time I thought the whole premise could not get any more wrong, it got wronger. (That's a compliment. Incidentally, I am unfamiliar with the fandom, but it didn't matter!)

Ian - I adore "Too Much Light", as I think you could tell from the many, many, many times I told you this when I got to see it before VividCon, but I am going to tell you again.

I ADORE THIS VID.

I could not possibly have imagined that a song (?) like this one existed out there - someone at the con mentioned in review that perhaps you were sneaky and actually wrote it yourself in order to have something perfect to vid for LoM; I would have no trouble believing that. Your choice to have Gene come throught the doors, and then *do it over* when the vocalist changes his mind on the word he wants to use is pure genius. This one is right at the top of my "high rotation" vid list right now, and I don't see it getting bumped anytime soon.

As for your lovely Alice in Wonderland, I was so happy that you took it and ran with it, and that it resulted in more vidders working to create two more of the one-minute vids. Maybe next year we can figure out three more fandoms. The new season's premieres are just around the corner...

(p.s. many many thanks again for this wonderful icon which I stole appropriated am allowed to share with Lum.)

Alice in Wonderland was fookin' awesome. I remember once having a conversation with someone about the idea of timing a vid entirely to the vocal track, except it always just seemed like... well, a fairytale. (I'm so witty at 2:30 in the morning.) But this is just all manner of awesome and funny. Bowie = Queen of Hearts, naturally. Much love.

There's Too Much Light In This Bar - I don't know why, but this vid in particular reminded me of The Gentle Art of Making Enemies. Like if I didn't know you made both, I would have made that assumption anyway. I think it goes down to the fact that you have the most amazing grasp of matching/translating visuals to audio/words that I've ever seen.

I am extremely frightened of your insane goodness.

Have just watched "too much light" and have yet to stop shaking. That. Was. Fucking. Awesome. The song was a thing of beauty and the clip choices just perfect. And Gene! Jesus H Christ. You've just distilled his essence into 30 seconds. Brilliant, brilliant video. This one will go straight to my "repeated watching" folder.

PS. Post on lifein1973 please, I would like my fellow fans to experience the awesomeness of this vid.

Alice in Wonderland was very clever indeed!

Both of these vids are awesome. Truly. I am speechless.

Linkied from comm. The LoM one is probably the best vid I've seen in a very long time. Fucking genius.

Can I second everything everybody has already said about the Life On Mars vid? :D

I didn't think anything would equal my love of Charmax's LoM video, but this has joined it! Fantastic job!

I especially like the ending!

(here from lifein1973 rec)

Here from the LoM community - absolutely adore the vid. Fantastic work!

And then I had to check out the Alice in Wonderland one - WOW. That's hilarious and totally awesome. :D

I just watched Too Much Light in this Bar because it was recced at the LoM comm. That really was wonderfully cut. Great track, clever timing. Thanks for sharing.

There is Too Much Light In This Bar is fantastic! Funny and clever and with unexpected moments. I know this is one that I'll watch again and again.

Came over here from LoM comm, and I must say - your "Too Much Light" vid is just the best thing I've seen! Great job of editing and timing :)

Do I need special plug ins to view this. I get the sound but no picture. I have Windows Media Player. Thanks.

Wow, I love the Too much light in this bar vid. *is in awe* Fantastic work!

GOOD GOD!! How much did I love this???? So much I can hardly put into words how over the top, bone chillingly, awe inspiringly, gasp worthy this vid was. I had to download all sorts of stuff just to watch it (because I am technologically stunted) but it was more than worth it. And the final scenes with Gene were UNBELIEVABLY brilliant. I love it, everyone must watch it, it is a work of genius.

This video is -so- good. Totally freaking awesome.

Would you mind if I uploaded it to Youtube? Im sure a lot of fans would love to see it...

I know very little about this fandom, but I'm so glad I downloaded this. It's so... scary, somehow. Brutal. I fucking love it. And despite not knowing the source, I also don't feel confused beyond what I think is the projection of the character's own confusion.

I am awed by Too Much Light in this Bar. The technical mastery and originality of it blows me away, not to mention the humour and the feel for Sam's confusion. You've done a truly amazing job here.

I'm taking the liberty of reccing this in my own lj. Please let me know if you'd rather I didn't.

I've watched 'too much light' several times, and it improves at every viewing. Thanks for making it and sharing it. It made me laugh.

So, I finally got back to school (with its uber-fast internet connection that is LIGHT-YEARS ahead of my dial-up), and got to see this vid. And it was quite possibly one of the closest things I've had to a religious experience, I kid you not. This is amazing and awesome and everything about it is spot-on for Sam, Gene, and LoM in general. It's everything I love about the show and its trippyness.

Fan-freaking-tastic job!
