Flyin11's Dark Angel Videos Thread #3

[ML Fan]

As Aerie and Rissa have mentioned there is help out there for depression and credit counseling, I think that often the hardest thing is the first step and that is asking for help. I wish you the best of luck.

Finished up a new video about Max ;D Hope it worked out...I don't know, it just seemd like a perfect fit to me. Some parts might not seem to fit but it's the best I could do. Now on to some other ones that I surely know will work. Enjoy ;D

Here's a video I did about Max done to a song by Switchfoot called This Is Your Life. It shows various highlights of Max's life and asks if she is living her life as who she wanted to be and if her life was everything she dreamed it would be after the way her life was when she was at Manticore. It just seemed like a perfect fit to do a Max video to. It also gave me a chance to be a little creative as well...Enjoy!!

I've wanted to make an M/L music video using Switchfoot's song "Learning To Breathe" for awhile, you gave me some ideas. Thanks as always for sharing your work with us.

[Flyin11]

Thanks ;D No problem....I'm glad I was finally able to finish it and get it out...It all depends on how much free time I will have as to when I can get them out...I can still work on them every night and during the weekends..So I don't think it will be too bad and I can do some more again Switchfoot is ok...I just really liked that song for a Max video Haven't heard that song yet ML Fan but then again I only have the "The Beautiful Let Down" album. Some people were suggesting the use of Meant To Live for a X5 video but I just can't see it or picture it in my mind. Glad I could help you out somehow too though ;D

People tell me I'm obsessive about storage for my computer, but everything I have is backed up twice. And not on my hard drive. I mean on CDs and Zip Disks.
Not to mention having them all on a second computer

Flyin11, what if you left the fandom and I couldn't access the Max and Logan vids you made.

I can still work on them every night and during the weekends..So I don't think it will be too bad and I can do some more again

You don't have to rush it. It will happen.

I don't expect a new video from you every week, if fact, it's better to keep us anticipating. ;D I love anticipation.

Your new Max vid is very good. No Logan, but we can't have all of them with Logan. I try to remember that Dark Angel was Max and her journey through her "little life."

I really enjoy all your videos.

[Flyin11]

Thanks for the support Aerie..That means a lot Means I'm doing something right ;D Leave the fandom? LOL Well nothing is forever so you might want to keep backing them up Atleast I'm here for now anyways ;D I've tried to just take my time on the recent vids...Looks like it pays off compared to rushing...but I don't want to push it past 2 weeks, it's just that a lot of stuff has been going on and it knocked me off track for a while with this one...but I'm already eager to begin my Smallville one and my next 2 Max/Logan videos...and I have a Max/Zack planned as well

Funny you were a little sad with the lack of Logan, orca was too over at the Post Pulse forums He was yelling and picking at me This video just seemd to be a mainly Max video although I snuck that one clip in there of Logan...but I have about 4 or 5 vids planned for him as well....

I'm not just posting for the sake of chatting LOL cause I only want to post when I have something ready but I felt the need to explain myslef a little bit about the past video "This Is Your Life" cause one of the other friends of mine on another board posted this:

oh i love the last one..but at the end of the video it seemed that you just wanted to end it and just added a bunch of scenes

I'm not mad or anything...just wanted to explain why the end of it had those scenes and what could be in the future..Here's my response:

Sort of yes and sort of no on the end of the new vid...I did run out of ideas cause I had already used up the Jam Pony/Delivery person scenes at the beginning so I decieded on those...There are so few clips that I haven't even shown yet so it was tuff....so in a sense yep, I added a few different clips at the end but they weren't without the meaning to the video that I was creating...

They still showed her life....Her life use to be not caring about anyobody else and just worrying about herself and getting by (the stealing and fighting for survival) but she also showed that new side of her with Cindy, Kendra, Sketchy, Joshua, and the others...which was one of caring...So that went with "This is your life are you who you want to be?" Showing her as the caring type of person that she never was back at Manticore and most of her life was about caring and helping others while trying to survive....So in a sense, yes...some of the scenes seem to be just thrown in but they weren't without cause to the video meaning...The whole vid was suppose to show highlights of her life anyways, which was mostly working at Jam Pony, some fighting, and just "Kicking it" with her friends....

Some of the videos now aren't going to fit exactly perfect and some will...Sometimes I try and aim at creating a story rather than trying to keep everything in sequence as well...The vids are going to change a little bit every so often cause well, quite frankly I think my best work was in my past videos...like the first 30 or so and those songs are done andgone..I can't use them again so some of the GOOD songs have already been used. We'll see....Most songs today use so many dern metaphors and crap that I don't know what they are going for or saying...not like some of the hits from the 80's where they spoke out in exact reference to what they were trying to say instead of making up crap that's no reference to the song. It gets hard and now when I try to incorporate a different menaing or metaphor in a vid I do, I think it's throwing you guys off cause everyone is so use to me like getting right to the point...It's experimenting and some are going to go to the words perfectly while some parts and sentences might not make any sense...It's hard to find a song that's perfect all the way through now n days...If I didn't experiment then I would have been done a LONG time ago...so we'll see what's on the road ahead

I think that everybody likes the vids a whole lot when I can keep all the scenes in order of their happening..? I've always wondered that anyways, but it can't always happen like that so some can be in order but then some will have to be just various scenes...that's just the way the songs work...Some might have a cene from AJBAC while the next will be from The Pilot...Just the way it works out sometimes. I've already pretty muched used the BEST songs in all my earlier work that went well with the in order clips and I think that's why everyone likes the earlier work better than the new stuff...I'm guessing anyways

[Aerie]

I'm not just posting for the sake of chatting LOL

Good to hear that Flyin11 because the rest of us post when we have nothing to say. It never stops me. ;D


What I first noticed about your vids was the way the movement of the scenes, as they merge into each other, is so perfect. Second was how the action flowed into the lyrics. (Or should that be the opposite)

If it helps the creative juices flow please come here everyday and pour it all out.

[Flyin11]

Thanks Aerie I'm truly very lucky to have fans like you

[Flyin11]

Still haven't forgotten about everyone...I have been busy to say the least since the last video and I thought I would get it done last week then this past weekend came with the concert and all and last week was the Star Wars movie....I just finished watching the Season Finale of 24 and Smallville had their Season Finale Saturday here in my state so now that leaves American Idol, Lost, and Alias to finish watching tomorrow night and Wednesday night and all my shows are done...more evening time ;D I should have this one done hopefully by tomorrow night or this week by the latest...Only have to add in a few clips and maybe special effects and it's finally done...So I will have a new Logan/Max vid soon..Peace

[ML Fan]

Yay! A new M/L video to look forward to.

[Flyin11]

Finally finished it up ;D Sorry for the LONG delay but I have been busy and do do this in my free time and I just haven't had much free time lately My first video done with different software as I gave the Sony Vegas Studio a go but it will probably be the last time with the software as some of the clips didn't get recognized and I can't use them so I'll try something else next time but I still think it turned out great...nothing different than the other except it's probably a little better quality with a lower file size

Description:

I wanted to do a pretty easy video to Logan and Max and it's done to another good song by Slaughter called Spend My Life. It's from Logan's point of view showing the good times he has with Max and that he wants to spend the rest of his life with her....

Thanks groupie ;D I know it's very simple but I wanted to get back to basics...back to the way I originally did them....to words that fit what I was portraying...cause I don't think a lot of people were catching on to what I was saying or doing in my past few videos...so I was just getting back to basics

[Flyin11]

Videos seem to be done...For the time being atleast Thanks for all the support and good times!!!

Sent this to a fan by email earlier this week that best explains the situation:

I haven't done a new vid in a little over a month now and am not sure, but the last one I did may have been it. I have tried to do another one on numerous occasions only to not work on it cause I have lost the desire to do so. I have recently joined a online league with Star Wars Battlefront for the PC and it requires a lot of committed time to get ready for upcoming tournaments and matches I will be entering. It's a lot of fun and I'm glad that after 2-3 years of being absent from the online scene, I am able to get back into it again. I have to also say that I haven't watched any DA DVD's for about a year now. A lot of episodes to watch and not a lot of time. Unfortunately I do still have quite a few amount of songs left on the table right now. I can't say when I might do another one and when it will be put up but I might try and do another one real soon. I just don't have enough time anymore..sorry guys but life goes on
