timepiececlockIn my frenzied decision of latching onto everything Cowboy Bebop lately to stem my loss of Buffy, I've been watching several music videos. Not enough, of course, because there's nowhere near as many CB vids on the web as there are Buffy, but one makes do.
I swear, if I have to watch you-know-who get shot and die beautifically with a flock of birds one more time, I'll break my monitor.
I mean, hell, there were a whole TWENTY FOUR episodes before The Real Folk Blues, why don't people draw on those for clip source material?
Case in point: I spent a long time last night downloading a CB vid to the Rolling Stones song I love, "Paint It Black". An excellent choice for a Spike Spiegel song, very dark and bitter and action-y.
And what do they do? They fuck it up. It had a promising start with some fast editing that made good use of eyes and faces, but then swan dived quickly into coring convention. The clips are so I might as well have just watched episodes 5, 25, and 26, with this song on as reapeat in the background.
This is so disappointing.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sisabet was right. I should do it myself.
So here's a resolution:
By June next year (hopefully at least some of ya will still be around and talking to me by that point), I'll be working on a music video of my own.
I will upgrade my computer, get space, get software, find clips, put it all together, and even submit the freaking thing to a big-name website.
Hah. As for what fandom-- I'll work that out at the time.
EDIT: I watched Nightmare Drusilla's Spuffy vid to "Every Me Every You"-- yay! I've been wanting to see a vid to that ever since the middle of last year. She did pretty decently too... I didn't understand the significance or intentions behind some of the clips she used, but overall it was cool. And there was one really sexy clip transition she did from the medallion begining to work in the FE's cave in Chosen to Spike punching Fire!Hands in Lurky's cave in Grave, to the line "Something blue." Niiiiiice.
