New vid: Supernatural Spooks

[starrylizard]

I said I wasn't going to do anything fannish didn't I? Oops. I've become obsessed with the show Spooks. It follows the lives and operations of a group of MI5 spooks (or spies if you like) and they have the best opening credits of any show ever!! So I decided to try to replicate them, but with SPN footage.



As always, constructive criticism or comments of any kind are highly appreciated and never met with anything but jelly beans, chocolate and a smile.

Oh that looked so cool Can we watch that show too

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Teehee! Glad you enjoyed it. I think they'd be pretty good as spies, I mean they do all the spy stuff anyway. :)
Thanks for commenting. *grins*

[hay1ock.livejournal.com]

Oh wow that was cool :)

*hugs*

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :)
*hugs*

That was so cool. I don't really like the whole 'negative' style, but I loved the multiple scenes and the fast pace.
I would definitely watch that show.

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

I assume by negative style, you mean the effects I used. It's not usually one I'd use, but I was hoping for the impression of heat-goggles (or whatever they're called) or maybe infared cameras that are used so often in spy movies.

Glad the pacing and layering worked for you. Thanks for the comments. *hands you virtual chocolate* :D

You should watch Spooks. It's so gritty. I've almost finished S2 and the last episode had me in tears. So very well written. Course if Sam and Dean want to star in a spy show, I'd watch it. :P

[not-sally.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm a moron, I didn't get that. Sorry?

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Teehee, no you're not. And don't apologise, I totally value your opinion. *hugs* :)

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Aw that's brilliant! Such a clever idea and so well edited, I'm really impressed :)

Don't forget to submit so I can list it ;)

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Thank you! It was really fun to make, because I hardly use any of these effects in my usual vids. :D

I'll submit now. *clicks on handy sidebar link* :)

that was well good! i love spooks as well, not as much as Supernatural, nothing ever is but i did think it was a very clever show and the character Adam Carter was pleasing on the eye which is a bonus :). your vid was a great representation of the opening credits. well done.

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Glad it's representative to someone who has seen the proper "spooks" credits. :)

I'm just starting to watch S3 now and Adam Carter is rather pleasing on the eye. I still love Tom though... Idon't want to see him leave. *sniff*

[dudeedaisy.livejournal.com]

season three that's a good series, quite a few changes happen i think though im afraid. no spoilers intended. Season 4 is great and season 5 is starting on tv again like next week or something which will so cool! new season of Supernatural and Spooks, yay, one happy bunny here :)
hope you enjoy the rest of the series.
xx

I'm a big Spooks fan but not of Supernatural, though I've seen plenty of vids, it's just not hooked me in.

That being said, I did like your short vid.

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

I can understand that, they're very different shows. Thanks for watching and I'm glad you liked it. :D

[too-rational.livejournal.com]

*laughs* Ok, this is freaking brilliant. I love it! And it made me so Spooks-nostalgic, it actually hurts. *sniffs*

The new season starts in three days or so, right? Dude. *checks watch*

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! *grins*

Ah, see I'm only just watching S3, so I haven't got that problem yet. My next problem will be finding somewhere that sells season 4 for under $70.

[dudeedaisy.livejournal.com]

well if you're still looking for somewhere to buy season 4 sendit.com have free UK delivery but do post overseas, all inclusive its about US$35 (£17) but if your in the Uk (£14.89)
hope that helps :)

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I'll check it out. That is a fair bit cheaper, since I think atm $35 is about $AU45, but shipping to Australia is often expensive. I'll check it out. :)

Otherwise, maybe I can con someone into a Christmas or birthday splurge. Never know until you hint strongly in front of relatives. :P

Cheers

[too-rational.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. :)

Well, can't you download it from somewhere? Via torrents? Unless you have a really slow connection, it's the best option...

You done with season 3? I want to know so I don't spoil you accidentally... ^_^

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Just started S3. Tom was just decomissioned. *sniffles* I'm on dial-up, but I do keep an eye out for links I can use still. Also I have a friend hooked, so she might be able to grab it. :)

[too-rational.livejournal.com]

Dude, I nearly stopped watching after Tom. *sniffles pitifully* The thing that really got me all roped up into watching again was the beginning of Season 4. :)

'You have a friend hooked' meaning she has a better internet connection or? 'Cause if you're really all out of options, I could try and work something out, to upload the episodes you don't have.. Won't be easy, but hey-- it's "Spooks". ^_^

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Yeah she has better internet than me and I have a lead for S4. And I wasn't kidding about Christmas. I'm very good at hinting. :)

S4 must be good if it gets a person over Tom's sad demise. *bounce* Thanks. :)

[lark_ascends]

Oh, that was so incredibly cool. I adored the effects.

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

*grins* Thank you! :)

[powersgirl.livejournal.com]

Very cool. Yeah, have to agree with consensus and say if this was an actual show, I'd definitely watch it. Great job!

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Thank you!! 30 seconds has never taken me so long to vid. I'm glad it's effective. :D

[yokiem.livejournal.com]

Haha.. I've just re-watched this vid for the 20th time and I still can't get over all the editing that went into it!

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Teehee! That's because I'm awesome! :P
Thankye! Did you rewatch the S1 Spooks titles to figure out which bits I nabbed? *grins*

[yokiem.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah I should go back and see what you stole :P

[reese-ed.livejournal.com]

Wow that was good.

Now I miss Spooks.

Dammit.

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Thank you! It was so fun to make. I'm still mid S3... I think. Got side-tracked. So, I'm yet to have to wait to see an episode of Spooks, but it's such an awesome show! Glad you liked the vid! :D
