Fingersmith fanvid (my first one ever!)

[dorksrcool]

Hello Kittens!

I FINALLY made my very own fanvid after enjoying them for years. I always thought I couldn't do it. After obsessing over Fingersmith (the book and film) for the summer I simply couldn't help myself....I had to make one.

If you have the time, please watch my vid and comment if you like it. I did what I could with Windows Movie Maker but have come to the realization that I can't really make something as high quality as I would like without purchasing better software.

This video is dedicated to Foomatic and all of the other vid masters. I hope I have done you justice on my first attempt.

I love this film and love this song. If you haven't heard of Dulcesky do check them out at http://www.dulcesky.com and discover their lush, haunting music.

Thanks.

Amy

Thanks!

Just watched your video (obviously) and thought it was well done. I love Sarah Waters and I'm not sure which on I like best Tipping the Velvet or Fingersmith.

I'm not nearly as patient to sit and do a video edit like that and not sure I actually could so now I'll request that if you are so inclined you might make one up for Tipping the Velvet.

Hello Heather! Thank you so much for commenting on my Fingersmith vid. I would like to make a Tipping the Velvet one sometime, but first I've recently created an Otalia vid. Check it out!

I have used Windows Movie Maker to create two recent vids. It is definitely not the best choice for video editing but for my purposes it works out ok. Honestly, I can't afford pricey software and this is also something I do occasionally. Movie Maker has its limitations and you can see them reflected in my vid but I did the best I could with what I had to work with.

I heard the song again recently and thought it fit these two perfectly. I wanted to make a vid with a compilation of some of my favorite clips and also attempt to have a coherent theme. My main goal was to match the lyrics with the scenes and I think I accomplished this.

Feel free to comment on Vimeo or leave feedback here if you are so inclined. I appreciate it!

Amy,

Just saw your "Fingersmith" video; wow, that was so powerful and amazing!

You have a real eye for images and a feel for great music, too.

More please?
