Sapphire and Steel: Ground Beneath Her Feet

Dreamybluemeany was upset/unnerved after the end of Assignment six, so....This is for her and this is what happens after :-)

Trapped in Infinity, Steel searches vainly for Sapphire.
He finds what may or may not be the real Sapphire in a sort of Underworld and together they decided to get the other Elements and fight back against The Higher Authority/ The Darkness/ God/ Time/ Other ( circle preference).
They lose, everyone dies ( happy- no?) and Steel ends up trapped again, or perhaps he was always trapped, never found Sapphire and The Thing was just playing with him... :)

It's sort of based on two books I've read; The first is the Children's Cartoon Book of Greek Myths, in which, I swear, Orephus looked like David McCallum, or at least in my memory of it; in that he was sort of sullen and pale, although that might have been because he was traveling through the Land of the Dead now I come to think of it- but anyway.... :)

I've used the Orpheus/ Eurydice story as a sort of a guideline.... The second book is The Ground Beneath Her Feet, by Salman Rushdie ( hence the song) which uses the Orpheus/ Eurydice as a sort of a mirror story thread and which I am currently reading with Steel as Ormus, Sapphire and Vina and Silver as Umeed.... if that helps anyone follow this confused video I've made... then Yay! but this is Sapphire and Steel so understanding everything or indeed anything is not crucial. I had a lot of fun playing anyway.

Beautiful video.:) The song is really pretty,too..who is the singer please?:)

[Thebigbluemeany]

that would be Bono from U2. The song is about a book by Salman Rushdie ; )

I see some Illya Therapy, ahem, McCallum Therapy in your video Biggie Blue. He does screaming "tortured soul", so well!

[Thebigbluemeany]

yes, all I need is the slightest excuse, and out come the 'tortured McCallum' shots :)

So, what is this show and, what is it about? The video is incredible btw. You're one of the best vidders out there. :)

[Thebigbluemeany]

Thank you :-) It's Sapphire and Steel and is sort of sci-fi/drama/ghost story. I think, they are some sort of Element/agent type things whose job it is to fix irregularities in Time, and they do seem to be fighting a sort of Darkness thing or Time itself or something. (cough...it's on youtube...cough).

David McCallum and Joanna Lumley are sort of paranoid and scared the whole time without really fully explaining why they are and we should be... this merely adds to my terror. :-)

Hey dude... I do film and editing and I just wanted to say, Well Done! It's a great piece you've cut. And S&S is a great series!

[benigerb]

Oh ho I loved the two of them... such an underrated, incredible classic of tv... I must admit I, too, had some problems in accepting the end of assignment 6....

[spotsycool]

This is a truly amazing vid. I loved it! Best S&S fanvid out there by far. Thanks for sharing this with me, meany. ;)

I really enjoyed the series too. But Assignment Six wasn't the end. A company called 'Big Finish' are continuing their adventures on audio (CD plays). So there's new assignments. Different lead cast. Susannah Harker as Sapphire, David Warner as Steel. But they are very, very good together. I'd avoid Daisy Chain (Series 1, Assignment 2. The end is a nasty suicide in part 4. The rest of it is fine) . I do suggest getting them, as Cruel Immortality (2, 4) says what happened after assignment 6 ended

I love this video! I just saw the end of assignment 6.. i feel so...empty now.... But this vid is just so beautiful!!! XD

[Jndfreaks]

Yeah, that wasn't what happened next, it was an ego trip of editing.

[IFavorFire]
