This was funny! Liked it a lot. Couldn't get the large version to play past the first couple of minutes, though, something about a codec? But it might've just been me, I've been having issues. But anyway, what is it about the Village People and SGA that works? *snickers*

I have downloaded both because for some reason I can't play the large one. Or rather, the large file stops playing about 30 seconds into the vid. I don't know what the cause is but given that I've got problems with my windows media player; I don't think it likes it that I have VLC media player and Cyberlink DVD suite.

I like this music and I thought that quite of the number of scenes that you selected were pretty funny and made me smile. I think we've spoken about vidding before and you said that you like constructive critisim, so I'll try to be honest.

I reckon it's a good vid, but perhaps needs a little bit of practice (what I mean is that I could tell that it was done by someone who is relatively new to vidding). Some of the flow of scenes from one to another didn't flow "smoothly" to me. Does that make sense? I don't know if I just wasn't in the mood or I'm just used to a different style. What I did like was that it was a happy theme and that you had lots of scenes from S1 and S2, and you had a lot of characters in it, especially the various smiling guys from SGA.

I reckon if I had just started vidding, I'd be worse off... I guess I'm thinking of other vids I've seen from way more experienced vidders.

Also keep in mind that I'm not a very arty farty kinda person and I often miss something unless it's obvious.

Hope this helps and yes, I did like it overall :)

That was so funny! I loved it - it had me bopping along in my chair. *g*

Okay, chalk up another who only got a tiny bit of the large version before it cuts out. I don't know what might be going wrong. Maybe you might like to upload it to sendspace or YSI or something until you can work out what the glitch is.

I got the small version to work fine and loved it.

But constructive criticism? As mcalex22 said, you did mention that you'd gebuinely likie some. Okay. Hmmm... Some changes that I'd make if I were vidding it would be...

In the beginning when you have the letters Y-M-C-A over the scenes, I think that's a great idea and liked the look of it, but I think it would be better if you used a bigger font. Maybe even a MUCH bigger font. What would look really cool IMHO would be if you could the letter moving "forward" and filling up the picture and then making that the transition into the next picture. But that just an idea that I think would look cool - making it work is another matter entirely...

And I think it would be a bit more effective if you accentuated the "Y-M-C-A" bits of the chorus somehow. You could do it with fast cuts like you have with those trumpety toot bits of the music (and look at my highly technical music jargon!). Or maybe something else. Maybe an overlay of the letters again. Maybe you could use the same scene and stead of cutting to another scene you could change the colour tone or the brightness or jump to a "close up" on each letter. It just seems to me that it's that part of the chorus that really sticks in people's minds - the bit that they bop to most, as it were. I think it would be good to highlight it visually.

But I did really enjoy it. I did particularly like the fast cuts on the trumpety bits. And laughed out loud at some of scene match-ups. Great stuff.

BTW - would Yokiem be the person who saw "V for Vendetta" with you, mcalex22 and me? If so, *waves* ;-)

Oh, and hope you had a good Anzac Day. Back to work tomorrow... *sigh*

Heehee! Great vid! YMCA really emphasises how "gay" they are - especially Carson and John's hair!

You put in most of my favourite moments, and there were a few appearances from Lorne, so I loved it! Thanks for sharing!

[lark_ascends]

Just watched (yep, the larger version didn't work for me either).

I enjoyed!! I particularly liked the bits with the Wraith...made me giggle (yes, I'm odd).

[shenon75.livejournal.com]

the large was cut off to me too, although I don1T used to have such problems at downloading...But the small version is ok. It was brilliant! :D

Ah ah! That vid is AWESOME! First I really, REALLY love that song! It makes me happy whenever I hear it, and that + SGA video = Me being very very happy right now. Also the forst part of the vid, with the song starting and the SGA cast walking cracked me up big time! It so boys band like ^^ (same thing for the last part) and I also really enjoyed the way the images/sequences you chose fitted with the song!
That's a really great job you've done, and I really hope you'll make more of these!
