VID (really!): The New Age

[promethia_tenk]

So I made a vid . . . my first . . . please be kind *frets*



Title: The New Age
Fandom: Doctor Who, Moffat era, Clara
Song: 'Radioactive,' by Imagine Dragons
Length: 3:04
Spoilers: Through 'The Rings of Akhaten'

Summary: Clara Who

A/N: For Elisi. Who likes vids, I hear ; ) And without whom this would not exist.
This has basically been eating my life for a month and a half.
I assume this song is horribly over-vidded?

Lyrics: 'Radioactive'

I'm waking up to ash and dust
I wipe my brow and I sweat my rust
I'm breathing in the chemicals

I'm breaking in, shaping up, then checking out on the prison bus
This is it, the apocalypse
Whoa

I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my systems blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm radioactive, radioactive
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm radioactive, radioactive

I raise my flag, don my clothes
It's a revolution, I suppose
We're painted red to fit right in
Whoa

I'm breaking in, shaping up, then checking out on the prison bus
This is it, the apocalypse
Whoa

I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my systems blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm radioactive, radioactive
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm radioactive, radioactive

All systems go, the sun hasn't died
Deep in my bones, straight from inside

I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my systems blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm radioactive, radioactive
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm radioactive, radioactive

Wow, I'm really impressed! There is some really cool parallel imagery in there. And plus, it's just a really good song. Nice job, especially for your first vid!

[bendingwind]

Omg that was INCREDIBLE. The cuts were awesome and the imagery is perfect and i am sliiightly biased because i'm a liiittle obsessed with that song rn but seriously GREAT.

[kaffy_r]

Really good song, great consistent imagery - first vid? Really? Fine, fine work!

[elisi]

It exists!!!!



And you dedicated it to me! ♥ ♥ ♥

Everything is beautiful.

[owlboy]

I am obsessed with this song/band now because of yOOUUU

and your timing is excellent

[purplefringe]

Aw man, this is your FIRST VID? That's not fair! Your first vid is NOT SUPPOSED TO BE this great! The timing and use of the beats is perfect, all the parallels and jump-cutting are fab, and I think there are lots of meta-y layers in here that I shall have to watch many more times to discover. Do you have a download link?

[ms_prue]

Aaaah this is all kinds of brilliant and clever and beautiful! Well done!

[lokifan]

Excellent!

[thisbluespirit]

Wow, this is amazing! Lovely! (And when I saw that moment with Clara that you started with there, I wanted to vid it, and I'm so glad that someone has, because it needed to be done.) ♥

[kass]

Oh, this is thoroughly lovely! I love a lot of the clip juxtapositions -- Amy shooting the Doctor with the water pistol, River shooting his hat -- and you hit a lot of powerful emotional buttons here. And the song, which might have seemed over-the-top for a human POV character, feels just right for the Doctor. I like all the different ways the metaphor of radioactivity can work: the gold light of regeneration, the ways in which he can't help being dangerous to the humans around him. Beautiful stuff. And for a first vid, holy wow! I hope you will make more. <3

[honeynoir]

Hellooo, this is amaaaaaazing!

I'm really admiring the... rhythm -- the cuts and the beat and the events. Did you get all the important bits of four seasons into one vid? Because I think you did. <3

And first vid what. Vidding talent! (On top of all the other talents, ofc.)

[niyalune]

AAHHHH this is wonderful ! The pacing, the timing, the movement are just excellent. And you used such gorgeous shots ! I also love all the parallels and the meta OMG, it's basically perfect. You're so, so good at this :D

As for the song, it has been vidded a lot in several fandoms, but I love it and I think you made the best use of it I've seen yet.

[calvinahobbes]

This is really, really excellent. I am so impressed with your mastering of source, the way you've combined the clips, and how smooth and intense the movement is throughout. Wow! I'll be re-watching a bunch of times.

[flowsoffire.livejournal.com]

Wow. This is seriously your first vid? I know nothing about vidding, but this is simply stunning! Great song choice, and the result was stunning. I simply loved it!

[fannishnonsense]

Wow, this is amazing, especially for a first vid!

[lonewytch]

OMG your first vid??? Vey impressive, it's brilliant for a first. I adore this song anyway, and this vid totally gave me shivers. Some really interesting mirrors in there.
