A Sinner, A Saint (Jack/Elizabeth) "Call Me" by Shinedown // Pirates of the Caribbean I know - it surprised me, too. I haven't done a PotC video since last February, and frankly, that one was baaaad. So here I am trying to redeem myself with a gorgeous Shinedown song and another Jack/Elizabeth video. :D Slightly AU I suppose, but it could just take place after Elizabeth sinks Jack with the Black Pearl at the end of Dead Man's Chest. Jack was never able to fully change himself to be good enough for Elizabeth, and this is him wondering how she will think of him after he's gone. How do YOU think she ends up feeling? :D #38 - Top Favorites (Today) - Film & Animation #39 - Top Rated (Today) - Film & Animation #91 - Top Rated (This Week) - Film & Animation Tags: pirates of the caribbean johnny depp call me shinedown |

The Crow and the Butterfly (August Rush) "The Crow and the Butterfly" by Shinedown // August Rush This song can be found on Shinedown's new album "The Sound of Madness." Slightly belated birthday present to Paula (quadrophenia718) - it was supposed to be done on Friday but I got backlogged! Ah! Special thanks to my boyfriend's older brother, who (unbeknownst to him) lent me this movie so that I could acquire the clips. :D A general August Rush video, focusing mainly on Louis/Lyla and the connection they feel with each other and their son. I babbled about how much I loved this movie and how much I hated the critics who hated it, because I thought it was a lovely story and a beautiful film. Paula agreed with me so I thought an August Rush video would be fitting for a birthday gift. Hope you like it! And... this is my favorite song from Shinedown's new album. And that's a very, very tough decision. Tags: crow and the butterfly shinedown august rush |

Away from the Sun (Severus Snape) "Walk Away from the Sun" by Seether // Harry Potter Belated birthday present for Samantha (blondychik1). Sorry it took so long, hun! Special tremendous stupendous thanks to my younger sister (mcflurry24) for asking me to use this song MONTHS AGO for a Snape video. I'm not sure this is what she had in mind but hopefully she likes it! Slightly AU. It takes the story of Snape's descent into the dark arts to a more detailed level, with Lily a bit more involved in the process. She's inexplicably drawn to him while at the same time, she's repulsed by his violence, anger, and thuggish friends. They get into frequent fights, over his choice in friends and over her romance with James. Snape lives in constant fear that his master will find out about his love for Lily and dispose of her, while Lily is in constant fear of Snape losing his life at his master's hand. Lucius Malfoy constantly targets Lily just to get under Snape's skin, but when Voldemort finds out about a prophecy, and targets Lily and her family, Snape is finally faced with a choice between love and duty. Danielle Panabaker and Steven Strait play the respective roles of young Lily and young Snape throughout the video.

However, he has to deal with the good and the bad, and with Dan and Blair, it's all about whose will is the strongest.

Sickness - A Blair/Chuck Video "You Make Me Sick" by Egypt Central // Gossip Girl Yes - in case anyone cares, my poor little heart broke during the finale, but luckily I had this little gem mostly finished! Here's a little something for you Blair/Chuck fans, to a relatively unknown song. To Chuck, Blair is like a sickness... but he just can't get enough. This one's for ficmuse, who was newly converted to Gossip Girl about a week ago and decided Blair/Chuck was her "shiny new ship"! #54 - Top Favorites (Today) - Film & Animation Tags: gossip girl blair waldorf chuck bass blair/chuck |

Sir Guy's Lament "My Skin" by Natalie Merchant // BBC Robin Hood **SPOILERS to 2.13!!** "Your face-saving promises, whispered like prayers - I don't need them." All of the events, good and bad, in Guy's life culminate in one irreversible act. This video stemmed out of a debate I accidentally got into over how "evil" Guy is. I defended him, but the person against him pointed out all of his past misdeeds and his actions in the finale and added "Explain that." Frustratingly, trying to explain an immensely complex and dark character to someone who doesn't want to hear it in 500 characters or less is no easy feat. Add to that some residual anger over a couple of writer/producers and you have one very angry and eager-to-explain Veritas. The one thing I kept thinking was "Gee - what could have POSSIBLY caused Guy to do what he did when he did it?" Hmmmm.... The writing portion of my brain is otherwise engaged these days, but the vidding part was just sitting there all lazy so I decided to put it to work. Listening to this song on repeat - all week - while writing - led to this video, which is one of my personal favorites. So... let me know what you think.

Shawn Spencer Tribute "The Impression that I Get" by the Mighty Mighty Bosstones // USA's "Psych" A tribute to Shawn Spencer and all of his crazy shenanigans. :) I have to say, one of my favorite moments is this exchange between Shawn and Lassie: "Good morning, detectives! Collecting donations for the policeman's ball?" "We don't HAVE balls." "... I honestly have no response to that." And the Scary Sherry episode where they're running screaming to Gus's car makes me cry with laughter. I actually die when Gus sticks his hand in and realizes the window is down, but I had to cut that bit out. #74 - Most Discussed (Today) - Film & Animation #55 - Top Favorites (Today) - Film & Animation #49 - Top Rated (Today) - Film & Animation Tags: psych shawn spencer james roday burton guster dule hill |

Open Your Eyes (Carter/Marian) "Open Your Eyes" by Snow Patrol // BBC Robin Hood SPOILERS: Series 2 finale!!! This is an entry for Giulia's birthday challenge - I HOPE YOU LIKE IT!! :D NEW!!! Fanfic, which I wrote after making this video. It explains in fuller detail the plot I'd concocted for Carter and Marian. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4230974/1/Open_Your_Eyes AU video of Carter and Marian from Robin Hood. I loved Carter and have been wanting to make a proper video of him for so long! Anyway, Carter falls in love with Marian, but she's confused and torn between Robin and Guy. Carter tries to convince her to see that Guy is not good for her, and Robin would leave her again. When Marian continues to refuse him, he leaves again for the Holy Land. Finally, Marian's eyes open to the truth, and she sets out to the Holy Land to reunite with her one true love. LostFrenchyGirl's description of the video was simply this: "Parce que toute la magie réside dans le fait de raconter une histoire qui n'a jamais exister mais de nous faire croire simplement le contraire." For a Robin/Marian fan with Guy/Marian tendencies, you can imagine how hard this video was... especially since AU videos are tough for me! This is also a double-celebration for me... on 13 April, I'll have been on YouTube for two years!! To think - a year ago today, I'd only just discovered Richard Armitage... also, today I reached 2,000 subscribers! So this one is for every last one of you - even if you don't like this fandom!! :) #46 - Most Discussed (Today) - Film & Animation #28 - Top Favorites (Today) - Film & Animation #27 - Top Rated (Today) - Film & Animation Tags: bbc robin hood carter marian carter/marian lucy griffiths joseph kennedy |

Never Too Late (Wallace&Veronica) "Never Too Late" by Three Days Grace // Veronica Mars (Season 1) Wallace is Veronica's rock - the one thing she can depend on. When times get tough, Wallace is always there to crack a joke and tell her everything is all right. But sometimes, being there for someone takes its toll, especially when that someone seems to be barely hanging on. This song is a bit more dramatic than their friendship - Veronica was never suicidal - so take the line "Still I hear you say you want to end your life" somewhat figuratively. It's not a happy song, but it is a hopeful song. And HOW AWESOME IS WALLACE?! I wanted to spread some Wallace love, so everyone else can bask in his awesomeness. Special thanks to LostGirl78 (bj_4ever on LJ) for the clips of 1.21 and 1.22 - you were a lifesaver! #68 - Top Favorites (Today) - Film & Animation #56 - Top Rated (Today) - Film & Animation Tags: veronica mars wallace fennel kristen bell percy daggs three days grace never too late |

Breakable (The Countess) "Breakable" by Fisher // BBC Robin Hood Series 2 finale spoilers!! "Every time you throw him to the floor, why are you surprised to see he's breakable?" **This video is dedicated to the lovely ladies on the French Robin Hood Forum 'Everything is a Choice' - thanks so much for your wonderful support and kind words about my videos!!!** **This video is also dedicated to Jen, the author of "The Countess."** This video is based on a Guy/Marian fanfiction called "The Countess" which takes place after the series 2 finale. The link to read this amazing work is at the end of the description. This video loosely covers the first few chapters, during which Marian is recovering from a serious wound under the care of Guy of Gisborne, whose position in England has changed since the finale. They're on a ship sailing from Acre to Marseille, and while things don't start out very well (for whatever reason, Marian's mad at Guy - hehe) their relationship changes as they begin to really understand each other. In the video, the color shots are taking place on the ship and just after they arrive in Marseilles. The black and white shots are Marian's realizations of just how badly she's used and abused Guy. And yes, Allan fans, the man who is good with nuns figures very prominently in this story. I've only spoiled the first few chapters - it's up to you to go read the rest! Warning: VERY mature content!! Chapter 1 of "The Countess" - http://ficmuse.livejournal.com/12110.html [As of 18 August, "The Countess" is unable to be viewed by those without permission. This is outside of my control and I only leave the link here in case the story is unlocked one day.] This song could be my theme song.

Clue - A Birthday Trailer "Final Countdown" by Immediate Music // Clue (1985) My little sister, Booga, is turning 10 on Sunday! This is her gift! I have to thank two very special people for their help with this video - firstly Di, who diligently searched for a song for me in my hour of desperation; and to my other sister, Bauer, who also helped in the production of this video (thus making it a gift from both of us to our little sister, aww!) This is also doubling as a very belated get-well gift to Samantha, who also likes this movie :D Ever played "Clue" before? This movie is based on the popular murder-mystery board game. The cast is headed by the brilliant Tim Curry, but you'll find every character in this movie is brilliant in their own way. The humor is very subtle at times, even topical (it's set in the 1950's Cold War era) but if my soon-to-be-10-year-old sister likes it, I think you can, too! I had a devil of a time finding a good song for this, as Di and my sister can attest to, so purely because of time constrictions, I landed on this trailer format about four hours ago (after about fifty other attempts at songs) and ended up teasing the movie. Hope you like this change of pace - leave me some love. :) #93 - Top Rated (Today) - Film & Animation Tags: clue tim curry christopher lloyd leslie ann warren madeline kahn |

All We Are (Robin & the Gang) "All We Are" by OneRepublic // BBC Robin Hood **This video is dedicated to Red, who made me the sexiest - I mean, sweetest - get well soon card while I was sick this week ( http://veritas724.livejournal.com/78162.html ). Also, this video was made completely with the trimmer in Sony Vegas, thanks to an email from Smokeyfizz. Lastly, you'll notice I really expanded my Photoshoppin' skills in this one. I feel so very technologically advanced right now.** This video is completely from Robin's point of view, inspired by a few of the scenes in the finale. He loves his gang but fears that he will fail them, disappoint them, or be betrayed by them. It examines his relationship with each of them and includes Carter and the effect his death had on Robin. Note: there is no Marian in this video. I chose this version of the song because the line "Lord knows I've failed you time and again" always inspired the image of Much yelling at Robin inside the barn. I also had a heckuva time finding this version of the song, but my new best friend - Amazon.com - had it available for download.

Lady Marian: The Paralyzer "Paralyzer" by Finger Eleven // BBC Robin Hood With the slightest look or movement, Marian has some strange hold over Sir Guy. I can tell you the exact day I started working on this: 21 December 2007, the day I posted "Stay with You." My sister and I were singing this song while we were Christmas shopping and I was beaten by the inspiration stick - "This is perfect for Guy and Marian!" Well, a month and a half later, I proudly present this video. :D I consider it epic because of how long it took. This is more my old style of editing, with the quick cuts on the beats.
