[ticcyyy]

download (113MB, .WMV)

title: Love Lasts Forever
pairing: Wilson/Amber
song: Philadelphia by Neil Young
duration: 3;22
disclaimer: When the vulture flies sideways, the moon has hair on its upper lip.
summary/notes: Wilson looking back on his relationship with Amber. Post-finale vid.

I was trawling around on Youtube and came across this song, which I remembered hearing in that Tom Hanks movie, Philadelphia, and was all, OMG MUST MAKE VID. I made this vid to look like a home movie in parts (which is why the download is so big - the filters take up a lot of space), because I wanted to capture the idea of Wilson reminiscing on his relationship with Amber. I also edited the song a fair bit to take the focus away from 'Philadelphia' and onto the theme of the vid more. Huge thanks to euclase for uploading the song to me! 'Cos I don't know where I would've got it, otherwise.

And... I may have cried a bit while making this vid. Because guh, the season finale. And Wilson. And Amber. And guhhh. I am still grieving a bit, lol.

Watch here



philadelphia by neil young
Sometimes I think that I know
What love's all about
And when I see the light
I know I'll be all right.

I've got my friends in the world,
I had my friends
When we were boys and girls
And the secrets came unfurled.

Someone is talking to me,
Calling my name
Tell me I'm not to blame
I won't be ashamed of love.

Sometimes I think that I know
What love's all about
And when I see the light
I know I'll be all right.
Philadelphia.

Hey, you can count on them! ♥ I used to do commentaries for my own videos all the time, and then after awhile I just lost the luster to do it. I felt weird, like I was trying to force my interpretation on other people, and eventually I just stopped and started writing my thoughts. And I think that how you present yours is excellent. It's just enough information for the viewers to know what you were thinking and then let their minds run wild with the idea of it. :)

It's funny, after watching this more (yes, I've watched it multiple times since you put it up! I like to watch them more than once at first especially), I kind of get this feeling of contentment from when Wilson and Amber were together before the accident, but it's like..I don't know how to explain it other than he was looking for something throughout his life and found whatever he was looking for in her. There was something special there, and the fact that this is what happened just made it so achingly bittersweet. You really wrapped that up in here.

1:28 you're right about the kiss! I would have missed that if I hadn't seen it in your video here, but it's really there, just the way he was with her. She really meant something.

STAYED ON THE BUS. God, kill me now. :(

The audio editing was a phenomenal thing! I mean, if I hadn't heard the song before I never would have known it was edited and I'm not kidding you. XD It was just seamless!

You are so welcome! It's so much fun to do, so prepare for lots more to come. :D It's really amazing to have someone to talk to about all of these on a regular basis. Absolutely means so much to me, so you are very welcome! You'll always have support and encouragement from me, you deserve them because you're very talented and it's evident you really put your heart and self into these. And that is how it should be.

♥
