New vid: The Supernatural Pretender

[starrylizard]

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: 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"

Seriously awesome.

[lark_ascends]

*rewatches*

Still awesome!!!

Not that I ever saw the show, but I think I've got an idea from this opening sequence and - brilliant!

Fellow Pretender fans unite! *clings*
Thank you! *bounce*

The show was made of awesome, but for some reason you can't buy the DVDs here in Oz. I may give in and order them from America at some point...actually, our dollar buys a lot atm...

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! :D

Particularly loved Doctor!Sam.

BTW, apparently others are having the same notification problems that I am and the issue seems to be entries with tags. LJ is looking into it. And I'm randomly checking my Friends page. Hence finding your vid, despite the little green tick not doing its job.

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Bummer...my organised tagging is making things harder to find. Doh!

Doctor!Sam is cute! :)

AAAahahahaha! YES! This is brilliant! I've actually been rewatching The Pretender lately, and noticed how crazy-similar it is Supernatural. Ten bucks says Kripke was a fan. ;)

It's almost creepy how you found clips that make this look almost identical to The Pretender opening. O.O

[charis-kalos.livejournal.com]

Doctor!Sam is cute! :)

Priest!Sam is cuter, though.

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Indeed!

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

I totally forgot about the Pretender. I LOVED that show.
Awesome vid!

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Me too! :)
Thank you! *bounce*

Okay now that is just seriously awesome! I looooooooved Pretender! You did a really brilliant job editing it all together in a very convincing way! And great choice for "Miss Parker," too. ;) *wild golf clapping* Loved it! ;)

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Bela is just such a Miss Parker in my mind! Glad you approve! *big grin*

This is so awesome! And as lipsynching cross-fandoms go, this is one of the best cases I've seen.

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Hee! Thank you! I usually avoid trying to lip-sync stuff, but it was kinda fun here. Glad you enjoyed it! :D

OMG I LOVE YOU !

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 !

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Ah, well there's only limited footage. You could use the YED as Miss Parker, I guess? Ruby doesn't fit for me and I can't think who else. Ellen? *shrug* I agree, Dean looks more the part. I was originally going to make it with him, but I found footage easier to find for Sam and he's so squishy. lol Glad you enjoyed it anyway.

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!

[taniapretender.livejournal.com]

Dude ! I have like, 4 or 5 awesome plot in mind just now !
Our brains should have babies, seriously.

[winchesterxgirl.livejournal.com]

lmao I loved it ...Pretender was my favourite series for a long time, so glad to see it SPN style :D

and as for the dvd thing in Australia...it pisses me off too, I live in QLD and I'd love to get the dvd's as well

[lark_ascends]

Amazon have all 4 seasons in a boxset on for $95 US total (around $101 AU at the moment) for a limited time, which is cheap! Me and Starrylizard have both just ordered them...

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

LOL!!! Man, Pretender got me into Fandom!

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Cool! It's fun to see other Pretender fans wander out of the wood work. :)
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it! :D

As Rinkle said, we both ordered the series on Amazon. With the American dollar so low, it's a pretty good deal! :)

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Woo! I didn't even know what a fandom was back then... only discovered it a few years back with SGA, but that would have been a fun fandom methinks! :)
