Vid: Someone Else's Prayer (Queer as Folk UK; Stuart/Vince; Series 1)

For me, the fascinating thing about vidding is that it's meta, basically (except for constructed realities, of course). You use what the show gives you and you construct an argument.

Ex. #1: Angel=GAY!!!
You say, watching Angel, "Dude, Angel's kinda gay." And if you are [livejournal.com profile] sisabet and [livejournal.com profile] sockkpuppett, you then come up with Whatever, which takes that argument and backs it up with visual evidence from the show. And then people are very amused.


Ex. #2: Jack - Daniel = sadness
You say, watching Stargate SG-1, "Dude, Daniel's death didn't really help Jack's state of mind." And if you are [livejournal.com profile] barkley, you then create Pretty Angry, where we can see for ourselves that Jack is indeed not so cheery and that Daniel's lack of a sense of self-preservation may have contributed just a bit.


Ex. #3: Stuart + (Vince + Cameron) = Stuart - Vince
You say, watching Queer as Folk, "Dude, Stuart is so very in love with Vince." And if you are me, you then make Someone Else's Prayer.

Someone Else's Prayer

Summary:
Vince isn't the only person here who wants what he can't have.

What I'd give right now not to even care
And then this could be someone else's prayer


In other news, the Narnia trailer takes my breath away. Just... the pretty. That is one seriously shiny trailer. It's a good year to be of the fannish inclination -- there's a Big Damn Movie in September, and now this in December, and I'm looking forward to Harry Potter and the Missing Comma as well. Plus, I'm very much anticipating the third part of The Siege (Stargate Atlantis) and the ninth season of SG-1, both in July.

Wow, I can't believe I've never thought to look for a QAF fandom online before today. Any chance of a re-upload on the video? I'd probably prefer the smaller file as I'm on dial-up but either would be much appreciated!

It's always good to know about another QAFUK fan!

Here (http://s48.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=03ZZ2MF32LRV71Z8F8SP7A7ZBN) is a yousendit link to the smaller version. Let me know what you think.

Thank you so much, and sorry it took a couple of days to get back to you - exams (joy).

I really liked the video. Given the nature of the show I was expecting something more upbeat, but that song (which is gorgeous) really worked. The speed of the show meant that the song sort of made you aware of all the emotional undercurrents. It felt a bit like a memory, like (for the guys) looking back on their relationship and (for me) looking back to when I first saw QAF back in the 90s. Anyway, good job. The effect in the credits was also very cool.

Thanks again.

I'm thrilled that you enjoyed the vid and that it did just what I wanted it to do. That's always really wonderful to hear. Thank you so much for the beautiful feedback.

::hunts for all butterfly's vids::

Do you think you could reupload the big one for me? ^_^

Thanks! That was really pretty and angsty yay! I was a little confused about POV at times, but that didn't detract from the obvious manlove. ^_^

Thanks, I'm really glad that you enjoyed it.

It was only the second vid that I made, so hopefully I've gotten stronger on establishing pov. I'm actually planning on redoing this one day -- this was the last vid that I made before I got Premiere, so the tech stuff isn't as clean as my later work, I think.

Hey there. I've just gotten interested in this show, and I'm an obsessive hunter of vids. I was wondering if you'd be willing to do a re-upload? I'd love to see this.

Would you mind renewing the links? :)

It was so sad...Stuart is so slow, only when he was threatened by Cameroon who could take away Vince, he realized how much he needs his best friend (and more xD). And your vid made me feel this desperation in Stuart's attemps to win with Cameroon.

Thank you for the feedback. And yeah, Stuart was definitely taking Vince for granted until Cam came along.
