Vid: SIGNAL TO NOISE

[nymeria_dw]

Here is the end result of a long and difficult journey: I've wanted to create a video out of this song from Peter Gabriel for a very long time.  Since my friend Lucia - a *huge* P.G. fan - played it for me, I've felt that it was perfect for Farscape and the moral dilemma at the end of Dog with Two Bones, Season Three's dramatic final episode.

But the road has been long and difficult, mostly because this is still a new medium for me, and I'm learning - but having fun despite the difficulties.

My most heartfelt thanks go to diarmi   nebari_rebel   officersun524  for their patience, friendship, encouragement and technical advice (not necessarily in that order...)

Any mistakes are only my own, of course...

You posted it, yay!!! As I already told you - you really did great job here, taking this incredibly difficult song. I love your using of the wormhole equations and wormholes overlayed with images of Aeryn and the whole dynamic of this vid, with increasing tension and intensity. (And what a cool solution for the recording device, like this effect, wow:))) Well done!!!

He, he:)))

Thank you!!!!! *goodvibes*

It was a hard road, but I'm happy of the results (and happy that it's over! LOL), even more when one of my vidding mentors says such nice things about it!

The part with the recording device was more an act of desperation than anything else...
Arevhat told me it was a bit static - and indeed it was - but I could not think of another clip to place there that would be ok, so I used this "insect eye" filter, making it lighter with every passage, to give the idea of a signal that becomes clearer.

I'm deliriously happy that it seems to work. :-)

Thanks for stopping by!

*claps* This is a WONDERFUL video and all the time and effort you put into it really shows. I love your clip choices and placement, and you did a great job with the fades and the wormhole effect.

The song is very fitting for John and Aeryn but not in an immediately obvious way...it's a "demanding" song choice, if that makes sense, and requires more thought from both you and those of us watching. I love those kinds of songs =D

Thank you! :)

It probably caught my...ear because it's very much like Farscape, that requires some "hard work" from its viewers, but in the end gives back so much more.

Thank you for your support and encouragement, it helped me a great deal to bring this...monster to completion! ;)

I love the increasing tension in this vid and the way everything is tied together by the wormholes (without which John would never have found Aeryn). You did a really great job working the visuals in this and I love the "wipe out the noise" bit with the recorder becoming clearer with each repetition.

Ah, thanks!! *flower*

The recorder was mostly a way to go around a difficult passage, but it turned out better than I had anticipated.
Beginner's luck! LOL

Thank you for the lovely feedback!!
