Taking Over Me - Labyrinth Music Video - Sarah and Jareth

OH I WANT TO KILL SOMETHING!! You see, this is my second round entry to the "So you think you can vid" contest. I only found out that I had made it to round two about a week or so ago. That's my own fault for not checking! So, I was placed in the Evanescence group. I was okay with that, since I already had some Evanescence video ideas in mind. Originally, I was planning to make a Lord of the Rings video using "Hello" as kind of a character profile video for Eowyn. Simple enough, but here's the problem. After days of encoding the footage, I was still only half way through movie three. Big problem! Time to find a new idea! Huh...which one...?
Hannibal and Clarice to "Lithium"?
Hannibal to "Like You"?
Hmm, I'll go with the Lithium idea!
...
...
...this is not working! That's it, new idea time again!
Um...uh...I kinda like "Taking Over Me". Anyone got any Taking Over Me ideas?
Eleanor randomly suggests Labyrinth.
Well that's...something.
Maybe I can work with that!

One day left before the deadline.
...
...aww, to hell with it!
I guess I have no choice but to make Labyrinth metal!

So, as you can tell, I ended up making this in one day. Half a day. Three quarters of a day! I'm still not sure how that happened. I didn't want to make this. I still don't want to make this.

*shrugs* make of it what you will.

Song: "Taking Over Me" by Evanescence
Movie: Labyrinth

It's now 3:35am (Australian Time) and freezing cold so I think I'm going to go grab myself some soup while I'm waiting for this junk to load.
You want to know the sad thing? The edits I made for my Hannibal/Clarice video took me forever! I was trying to keep it book canon, so I had manipulated clips from other films and even created a fake news report on Clarice's disappearance all of which I was really proud of, but I just couldn't fill the whole song. Such a shame, I was really proud of those manips :(

3:53am and rendering has just finished. I have something to admit, I still haven't watched this video yet, but I'm tired, so I'm just going to upload it as it is and hope for the best.

EDIT: I didn't get that soup, but I did find some Doritos. Hooray for 4:30am corn chips!

EDIT: 4:47am and the Doritos were bad. Finally posted this as a video response and I watched it for the first time. Now I know why I didn't want to watch it!
I especially like the part where there is a giant chunk from the middle missing.
Oh but check out those last two seconds! Those are pretty rad, don't ya think? Isolated colour FTW!
Anyway, it's up now, so to hell with this.

EDIT: I always forget to check these:

Why is this my fave vid of yours? Seriously, I love it to bits and keep coming back to watch it even though it was a challenge vid.

[YuesWoman]

@kitsunebaba It did turn out alright, didn't it?

[Transcendancing]

I think this has so much potential - I know that you wrestled with it so much, and that you have quite a resentment of it, but given time and not deadlines crushing I would LOVE to see how it would end up. It's so much almost -everything- I wanted from a vid like this, but given the time you had to do it? Pretty freaking incredible.

[YuesWoman]

Thanks! I do actually like this video now; it's really grown on me. I would make a full version, however there wouldn't be all that many clips left to fill the song. I used up a majority of all the Jareth/Sarah scenes already in this short segment. If I was to make a full version, I would have to re-edit much of this in order to spread out the footage.

OH MY GOD YAY!! You made another one! You are my favourite, ever! YAYAYAY. I hope you win! I love Jareth/Sarah, and your vids. Oh and your an Aussie, too. RESPECT. :D

[YuesWoman]

Aussie pride!!!

[YaoiFox]

Wow!!! THIS IS AMAZING! YOU must make more videos of them!!

[Eriksoneandonly]

This is amazing. I love watching it over and over. Especially the isolated color, etc. Jareth/Sarah... <3! ;) Mind if I ask what program you use to edit your videos? I'm shopping around. Thanks in advance.
