New vid: The Supernatural Pretender

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*.

Title: The Supernatural Pretender
Vidder: [livejournal.com profile] starrylizard
Music: Audio from the opening sequence of The Pretender (composer: Velton Ray Bunch?)
Warnings: Bad lip-syncing, clips from episodes up to "Red Sky at Morning"
Summary: Sam Winchester is The Pretender, a genius who can become anyone that he wants to be. (A remake of the opening titles of "The Pretender")

This is very clever hun. Loved it. I've never watched The Pretender - but Sam! yes - totally fits the bill. Great job.

Hee, that was cool, lip-synching and all. And I could totally see Lauren Cohen as Sally Parker!

I used to love Pretender so this whole vid was instantly made of awesome when I read the premise. Such a cool idea. Nice clip choices and editing. And the ending cracked me up.

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! I loved that show. Just ordered all the DVDs from America, because I suddenly really want to watch it again. :)

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! :)
