Marlena, Roman and John: She Thinks His Name Was John (Version 2/4)

[aussie0reba0fan]

Just thought i would let you know that i like the vid but i think its a bad song choice as Reba's "she thinks his name was john" is about "Aids" and Aids wasn't in the storyline was it????

[me900100]

No, it wasn't. But as I explained before, the idea is to interpret the song through the clips. The original meaning of a song doesn't matter when I use it in a montage. It's my interpretation of the song that matters. Everyone feels different things from songs and that was the point of doing the four versions of the video.

I absolutely adore this.....a completely believable story with how you ordered the scenes and matched them up with the lyrics <3

I'm really loving the alternate universe/fanfic genius I'm seeing with these two lately :o)

[me900100]

Thank you. I'm glad the story follows through.

I'm always kind of skiddish when it comes to AU because I'm not sure if everyone "reads" the story the same way I do. But I feel like we all use the same clips over and over again. And even though I LOVE seeing how we can all interpret scenes differently, I think alternate universe and fanfics take that to an even higher level.

[marlenafan222]

@me900100 I totally agree....and AU/fanfics lets us twist things around a bit and have fun with stories that weren't necessarily written as they should have been, and kind of redeem them in a way lol ;o)

[DonovanBrady85]

Ah wow I love this one too. I didn't think I could love it more than the first one lol

but I do love it just as much.  It's so amazing how you can spin the meaning of one song, and both versions just fit so perfectly. So what for the third then? Can you give me a hint?

[me900100]

Hmm. Let's see, without giving anything away...I'd say....it's not anything I've made a montage about before, but it's *kinda* similar at the same time.

That was harder than I thought. lol.

[DonovanBrady85]

@me900100 well I'm still none the wiser lol

[me900100]

No need to worry, I ended up changing it anyway. lol.

[sourissourissouris]

OK, so I couldn't resist, of course... This is a good one! I really admire your ability to always come with something totally different - and I like the AU ones as you know... I love the "drunk" effects ;) and especially the editing at 3:08-3:20... that's perfect! And of course the sweet ending <3 I can't possibly get enough of this one... Still looking fwd to more to come ;)

[me900100]

I'm glad 3:08 turned out exactly the way I wanted it, because I had to do it twice. WMM all of a sudden died on me and for once I hadn't saved every five seconds like I usually do. lol. I needed something that said epiphany and I thought that worked. Of course, I'm always glad when my own version of the story works. ;)

I am SO addicted to the ending. The way she points at him is so cute. It's kinda like "That's right, you're my hero/daddy." <3

[sourissourissouris]

@me900100 :) @ the ending - I absolutely agree - 'cause that's what he is - everyone's hero AND daddy ;)

And yes, it did work very well & I believe it was worth even the wmm pain in the ass ;)

[me900100]

*happy sigh*

Oh, it was definately worth it. I'm pretty much in love with it. lol. Which I totally didn't expect, because it seems like it took forever. I had to stop last night because it was gettting late and I knew I was going to get woken up early(parents are working on the house) and I just couldn't go to sleep. lol. Hopefully part 3 of the trifecta makes me as happy. :)

[me900100]

I figured YOU would be addicted to this. Because I DO know you like the AU ones AND this song. ;)

[sourissourissouris]

@me900100 *oh you know me so well* ;)

[judithlightrox]

[me900100]

I love doing AU, but I'm always so afraid people won't recieve it well. So I'm SO glad you think so. :D
