Man from UNCLE: The Communicator and an Open Mind Affair

[leoniedelt]

in fact, i'l be a naysayer to those who think these clips come too fast, and point out that is what makes Meany the best vidder *evar* - BECAUSE the clips go so fast! Its very, incredibly awesome and makes her vids so much more interesting than anyone else's! You gotta watch very closely to see what's coming next! Sometimes you even have to watch a few times to get it all! I LOVE it!

[leoniedelt]

meany, this is a superb vid! i hadnt seen it until now. well done!!!

[spotsycool]

I've loved this vid since the first time I watched it 2 years ago. It really is an awesome vid. And I don't care what some people have said about the clips being too fast, I think the editing is absolutely fabulous! The fast-pacedness of the clips just make a cool vid even cooler! lol

[GaryPeterson67]

Great work! My one quibble is as others have noted--too many images quick-cut way too fast. As I felt a Scanners-like headache coming on I was reminded of the "blipverts" from Max Headroom. I especially enjoyed your including later clips of Vaughn and McCallum and hoped to see some from Vaughn's outstanding 1972-74 series The Protectors, a show UNCLE fans should embrace.

PS: Was it me or did this video smack of the UNCLE equivalent of Star Trek's K/S sicko subgenre? K/S is still BS.

[amayaconway]

Watchin this vid 2 yrs on still love it and the song :)

Jus wish i cud watch the series, i've tried lookin everywhere with no luck, my mum had sum eps on video but there there gettin a bit worn out now :(

[slobomotion]

Astonishing clip! Bravo or brava! I love Alanis, too, that was a plus. This imaginative TV series had me learning Russian, moving to NY alone, then Paris, and I was just in Turkey on my own. It really inspired me, an Amish kid from Ohio! Thank you so much. A lot of work went into this.

[swordfish1929]

I think this has to be my favourite MFU fan vid. The song is perfect and I love the clips of NCIS and Hustle in there.

As for the 22 year-olds I can top that I'm 16. So hurray for the new generation getting into good TV!

[slobomotion]

@swordfish1929 I, too, think this clip is really outstanding. It lets us see some of a great old series, combines exciting newer music, and the editing is just so artful. I am 53. You younger ones can see a lot of this stuff now and I hope, be inspired! I am looking at film noir here in France, now, where I live, and have three movies in pre-production. The challenge is to be inspired yet make it new! cutecatfaith d com is me xo

[irksomeone1412]

I just keep coming back to this video over and over again- the technique of the faster clips interspersed with slower ones perfectly produces the visual imagery of memory, as one's mind skips from one event to the next, lingering here and there. What a wonderful vid. Thank you so much!

ps- here's another 22-year-old mfu fan! represent the new generation! :D

[slobomotion]

@irksomeone1412 Yeah, this clip seems to be the best.

[gregmitty]

Oooohh, you're a clever so-and-so!

[enoorkoiv]

Excellent Stuff!!...........

[lgvu]

Look, one year ago I commented on this video - and a year and many hundreds of views later, I still think it is a brilliant video (giggling at last year's self who didn't know about the Gurnius Affair).

[Kvinnestad]

And I thought I was the only 22-year old in the world with an MFU obsesion... Great work, but perhaps includa an apilepsy warning-lable?

[oldladyfan]

I'm having a blast from the past!

[thekuryakinaffair]

Love, love, LOVE this! And all your fantastically well constructed vids, for that matter! Please make some more - there really can't ever be too many lovely slashy muncle vids!

[IFavorFire]

What episode is the scene of Illya being choked by somebody from,please?:D

[katt9966]

Love this :)

[Catilinarian]

This is gorgeous - beautifully and seamlessly put together.

[NBSNOWDotCom]

Wonderful. Open channel d.

[NookieCha]

Absolutely brilliant

[vibeatles]

What a wonderful video!! Love it, Love it!! All the integrated and great images of Napoleon, Illya, Ducky y Albert. The hug of Robert & David in the A-Team Episode. It really makes my heart melt the whole video.

[animequeen1243]

i wish i was that stamp! 1:12 i think it was xx

[themorrigan01]

Woah, too many good images *___*

And I don't know why but I want to read a fic with Gibbs being Illya and Napoleon' son *___*

(so if anyone writtes it /found one, please! send me a line!)

[ZarquonsNeice]

It could be a great threeway crossover... Gibbs is investigating Danny Blue because he's connected to some 'Affair' that Illya and Napoleon hushed up years ago. However Danny is his lost little brother, Napoleon has to decide wether or not to confess all.

[Shifterred]

This is going to be a blanket statement, but...

I wish people would stop using the "clips are too fast, boo!" line on these videos. I love the rapid pacing of the clips. The 'important' bits always slow down and it adds meaning and pacing. It's a fantastic and beautiful editing trick.

So there.

[lanibb]

I love this video! I just got an idea for a fan fiction story from it. Thanks so much for sharing. :)

[foxloveswolf]

Really awesome, just wish you had more Ducky. ;)

[Scuzzykitty]

CAN'T BELIEVE THAT IS "DUCKY "ON NCIS

[lgvu]

Please - where is the clip at 1:26 from?

[Thebigbluemeany]

The Gurnius Affair, a season 4 episode :-)

[lgvu]

The more I watch this video the more I love it - at first I thought the images were flashing by too quickly, but it really captures the mood; and I love the way you flash back and forth between RV young and older.

[amayaconway]

Great video with a lot of clips, u can't c them all, but it does go with the song.

[mayitpleasethecourt]

unwatchable (too many images too rapidly), but this is good: Love, dependence, comfort, control, bitterness, regret and a strange desire to see the other in physical pain...

you're not 22.

[Thebigbluemeany]

Oh no honestly mayifpleasethecourt I am. I know all my fandoms may indicate otherwise but really, I am 22. : )

[mdmefrancaise]

What is 2:57 from please?

[Thebigbluemeany]

The Odd Man Affair, series 1 :)

[thexparrot]

This is fantastic! I love the relation of lyrics to clips, and the intermingling of the NCIS and Hustle was just superb.

[beautifulside]

This video is absolutely brilliant, and I have to watch it repeatedly to catch all that's going on.

That first shot of Illya (around 0:14) -is that from UNCLE, or something else? He looks particularly hot there.

[Thebigbluemeany]

Thats a lovely UNCLE close-up, and yes, he does look particularly nice there :)

[mdmefrancaise]

Thank you!

[mdmefrancaise]

What's 1:14 from?

[Thebigbluemeany]

:-) The Childrens Day Affair, series 2 ( *worries about her UNCLE shot recall knowledge...*

:-)

[dirkbenedict28]

thnx and which episode is the part at 2:55from

[Thebigbluemeany]

The 'My Friend the Gorilla Affiar'- which Im afraid to say is in the running for worst Uncle episode ever. But it makes up for it in some way by containing Solo tied to a target and having spears hurled at him :)

[dirkbenedict28]

A great moment is 2:55

[dirkbenedict28]

which episode is the part at 2:30 from

[Thebigbluemeany]

If you mean the upsidedownedness dirkbenedict its from 'The Thor Affair'

[Orypeci]

...[blinks very rapidly]...

I wish I could do that.

[snoopym76]

kewl vid, who did the song

[sagilady52]

hi theres a treat for all illya fans on youtube. dmc appears in a clip from movie called shattered image and in the first minute hes caught screwing a girl on a table, dmc looks very sexy. so enjoy and please give feedback on the scene

[YoungWisdom1701]

Uh, Wow! Sorry it would seem you left me speechless. I can't even put into word how utterly amazing this is. Just...thank you! thank you SO MUCH for making this. God I love DMc!!

[FaceLovinGal]

Beautifully done. And I saw a tiny clip from their A-Team episode, I'm sure I did.

[Thebigbluemeany]

yes you did FaceLovinGal, well done- er....award yourself 400 muncling points :)

[CertainlySandy]

I felt like boo-hoo'ing, too. Personally, I prefer to remember David McCallum as he was in the 60's, young and oh, so beautiful. I was madly in love with him in MFU. Thanks again for the wonderful songvid. You're the best!

[Romanse1]

That was HOT Baby, that was HOT! Congrats on a great songvid. I too wondered as someone else did why there were no shots of Ducky. That would have been perfect.

[Thebigbluemeany]

All the ncis footage I could find was really bad quality- its also not in our public library whereas all of Hustle is (yay)Im thinking of requesting it, but its a fair amount of money and using the library to fund my squeeing habit is perhaps ethically doubtful (since Ive already mangaged to get Sapphire and Steel) :) love bluemeany

[Orypeci]

Hurrah for the ethically doubtful!

[Thebigbluemeany]

hooray! And with that I'm off to go and see if i can bittorrent me some new NCIS :)

[Orypeci]

I'm actually trying to bittorrent me some UNCLE.

[1996azcpa]

I can't watch with without wanting to cry! :(

[1996azcpa]

You're very talented! Beatifully done. Lost love . . .

[cousinnat]

Very ambitious video! Love the song. Wondered why there weren't some juicy shots of Ducky, though.

[mnemosyne2753]

Thank you, this really is brilliantly done. I love it but I want to cry.

[sotina24]

You are the master. I think I just had a spontaneous orgasm and a mild seizure. Mmm. Flashy McCallum.

[Pavlowsdog]

I just fell in love ... I admire your talent. *sigh* I wish "Hustle was on free-tv here.

[murphysmommy]

Wonderful, wonderful video.

[GeorgieSmith1138]

Another gorgeous video - thank you muchly. There's such an underlying feeling of melancholy... it gets me every time I watch it.

[Elijahswildchild]

Yep - I'll second that, my dear. I love the layers to this vid. The melancholy does stay with you after watching, doesn't it?

[Serenaar]

WOW! What a fantastic video! Lots of awesome editing and great effects - how do you DO that? I like the way it flicks between old and new footage, and the song suits the subject brilliantly! *bows down* - we're not worthy!

Well done!

[vysila]

Oh my gosh! What a wonderful treat. I really like the complexity of the song with its mixed message and the visual progression, winding back and forth. I haven't learned how to do the masking you use, superimposing one image over another - nice effect! Kudos to you! And thanks.

[HumphreyMasonUNCLE]

Love Hustle and UNCLE together. Go Napoleon/Albert!!!

[kanders57]

I always love your vids and this one is no different. I love the way you use clips from NCIS and Hustle.

[coldsideofthepillow]

your videos always make me fall in love with the song or programme - I had never heard of this programme but it looks good!

[sparky955]

I kneel at the feet of the master of MFU slash vids........ bless you!

[Elijahswildchild]

Yay! It's a new bluemeany vid. What can I say? Breathtaking...

BTW - Love the dedication. Tee hee...

[MirrorImageFilms]

Oo. Good to see your vids back, missed em loads. I love your editing, all the clips flashing along quickly. It works so well! Anyway. I've never seen UNCLE, although, looks good. Can't wait for more stuff. 5 stars, well done!
