Ah, did anyone, other than me, get addicted to the show "The Pretender" when it was on? Anyway, I managed to watch a few episodes again the other day and my brain decided Sam (or Dean) could so be The Pretender and so I've redone the opening sequence using Sam. I tried to make it as identical as I could, so I hope it works. If anyone wants to compare to the original opening sequence, I've uploaded it to Youtube for comparison *HERE*.

It's almost creepy how you found clips that make this look almost identical to The Pretender opening. O.O
From:
no subject
Thank you! I was originally gonna make a Dean vid, because he looks much more like Michael (build, hair etc), but when I went searching for clips, Sam's tended to match more.
Glad you enjoyed it. I wonder too if Kripke was a fan. :D

The Pretender used to be my favorite show ( before I discovered the awesomeness that is supernatural ) and I've been wanting to write a crossover for like, ages. ( I kinda think more of Dean as a Pretender, but that could be discussed ). Thing is, writing something like that shouldn't be taken too lightly and I don't trust myself with that.
And come on ! Bela as Miss Parker ! Ah Ah Ah ! She's more a Brigitte to me !

I'd love to write a crossover, but I don't have a plot in mind at all. I'd certainly read one. *nudge* :)
I just ordered the DVDs! Yay!

So, as long as you could play multi-regional on your dvd player (which most Aussie ones can) you're set!

Guh, it was really fun and nice and cute small promo\open credits. I watched your version and the original one. Though i have never seen this tv show, i think you did a very nice job with this! I liked that you take and audio track from the original promo, so the voiceovers sounded very cool) Especially i liked the clip you put there on "Are you a doctor? - I am today" Ha, it was very fun)
Nice job, Liz!;)

Pretender was the first fandom I was majorly involved in. Wrote a tiny bit and adored Miss Parker.

And, me too! I just ordered the whole series on DVD, so I'm sure crossovers will emerge at some point. When you think about it, Jared has so much in common with Sam and Dean... even the military Dad. :)

Pretender was the first show I really obsessed about, and when I was on exchange in Japan and starting venturing into Dark Angel forums, I met a group of Pretender fans, sme of whom I'm still in contact with eight years later. tP was also the first fandom I wrote fic for.
Awesome vid! I'm a lip-synch nazi because I recently edited a video-taped musical production and spent hours making sure people's lips and movements synched with the soundtracks, but I think you did pretty well... =D Fantastic cutting in my opinion, and congrats on using that "Pretenderish" text font and merging the logos!
(Wants to run off and write tP/SPN fic)

So many Pretender fans! You should write some tP/SPN. I'd read it! :)

Sam as a Pretender makes a lot of sense. Both shows are strong on family. Both shows have mysterious things happening during the leads childhood. And both shows are about saving people and hunting things. OK, Jarod completely messes the bad guys up without the rock salt and latinating, but he still gets the job done. Crossover fic would be so cool. I'd love to see a scene with Ellen and Ms. Parker facing off. Or Dean and Sam running into Jarod while all three of them are posing as Feds. :)

Yeah, that's the kind of fic I want to write one day. All three posing as something else and not even realising it. Then maybe just a scene where they they cross paths again in a different disguise and go WTF? That'd be so cool! And Ellen and Miss parker - or even Bela or Jo - are all such strong women. I can imagine the centre thinking Dean and Sam would have been great Pretenders if they'd found them earlier too. So many possibilities! :)
Anyway, I'm so glad you enjoyed the vid! Thanks for watching! :)
