With the exception of some graphics and video posts, this journal is now Friends Only.

To everyone already on my Friends list, I'm not planning any type of Friends Cut so you won't need to comment ^_^

If you have added me to your f-list and wish for me to add back, please leave a comment on this post stating why. While this journal is largely fandom related, there are also a lot of personal posts as well.

Finally finished reading Breaking Dawn last night. Why did it take me so long? To be honest, I found that I had to force myself to read it. Sorry! I mean, I know the books are cheesy, but at least I enjoyed the first three. As I've said previously, they're a guilty pleasure. BD however was just...I don't know. Too much cheese for one sitting?

( A rather lengthy Breaking Dawn rant. Warnings for swearing and spoilers )

Augh, I gotta go to bed. Happy birthday to Al and happy braces-be-gone day to Carly!! Hooray!

...some of you may be experiencing deja vu. I should really just listen to Eleanor from now on as this was another one of her suggestions.

...oh, but I did make an effects entry. I had it up on youtube for about 6 hours before I got too embarrassed by it and set it to private view only. I really made the wrong choice when it came to audio...and video...and editing...and EVERYTHING!

The last 15 seconds weren't too bad though

Thanks to Jodie, I've recently gotten into making things with Fimo Modelling Clay. Tried my hand at making two things from Cardcaptor Sakura; The Star Key and Sakura's hair clip from Movie One:

I came home from work on Saturday to find Mum with this on her lap:

Lately I have been thinking about starting a video blog, either on a new youtube account or on facebook. Question is, what do people want to see in a video blog? Is it worth it or is livejournal enough?
Really, I just want to have more fun with video editing. I'm not all that comfortable in front of the camera, just behind it, so I'm not sure I even want to do this yet!

Lastly, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JODIE AND KATIE!!

I'm sorry. I just couldn't help myself. This recently released photo of Ron in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince was too funny looking for me to leave alone. Proceed with caution.

Made some icons of Edward/Rosalie from the Twilight series. These were a gift for nikegoddess_ and were all made using Sony Vegas.

I was originally making a Rosalie/Edward video as my gift, and most of these icons are made from screencaps of the video, in particular the amber eyes manips. However, the video was taking me far too long to complete, so I made these instead:

Title: "It's You"
Fandom: Harry Potter
Vidder: Yue's Woman ( e_chan_21 ) of Amvience Studios
Song: "It's You" by Michelle Branch
Footage Used: Harry Potter films 1 - 5 with wee snippets of Afterlife, About a Boy, Star Wars Episode 3, Lord of the Rings: Return of the King.
Length: 3:00
Format: DivX
Download: http://www.amvience.com/members/yueswoman/Amvience_Its_You_yueswoman.avi
YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30lcuDKGe2I
Description: Fairly generic Lupin and Tonks video. If you've read Harry Potter books 5-7, you already know the story.

P.S: Sadly not my best work :( Damn you David Yates! You could have given them at least one scene together in OOTP! Practically none of their scenes mix together well.

I'm so tempted to go back and redo the whole thing.

Seriously.

NEW VIDEO!!!

Hehe, my apologies to Sir Tony:



Title: "Inappropriate Silence of the Lambs Music Videos"
Fandom: The Silence of the Lambs
Movies Used: Red Dragon, Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal and wee snippet of The Remains of the Day
Youtube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6d2ijjOS50
Vidder: Yue's Woman (Erin) - e_chan_21

I'd list the songs used, but that would spoil the fun.

In other video news, my Harry Potter video, "You'll Be", has reached over 10,000 views on youtube!!
Whoo!

"...but what no one knew, was that the Goblin King had fallen in love with the girl" - Sarah, Labyrinth



Title: "Chasing After You"
Movie: Labyrinth

Pairing: Jareth The Goblin King and Sarah.
Format: DivX or Youtube
Length: 4:27
Size (for DivX file): 62.79 MB

Download: Megaupload

View: Youtube

Summary: Since I'm such a hopeless fangirl, this is a shamelessly cheesy Jareth/Sarah video, seen mostly from Jareth's perspective, but moving slowly towards Sarah's perspective as well about half way through.
I also tried to mess around with the story of Labyrinth a little to suit my own selfish needs.
And yes, I like strobes. Lots of strobes. *nods*

Anyway, take a look, and I hope you all like it!

Well, here you have it. My first Harry Potter music video.

Thought I'd better make an entry for it now that I've fixed it up and made it look all pretty like!

Okay, first, an explanation! I made this video for a contest over at http://fadetonoir.net .
All entries for the contest had to be Harry Potter music videos set to Disney songs. Well, being a Harry Potter fanatic I thought I would finally try my hand at making an entry.
I chose "You'll be in my Heart" by Phil Collins because it was the only Disney song I could think to match with Harry Potter. It fit the criteria and thus, this was created:

Title: "You'll Be"
Song: "You'll be in my Heart" by Phil Collins, from Disney's "Tarzan"
Description: A tribute video to those who come to care for Harry the most throughout his years at Hogwarts.
Characters Featured: Harry, Lupin, Sirius and Dumbledore
Size: 39.51 6MB
Format: DivX

A big thank you to Di_br for letting me use the song, even though she had previosly made her own fantastic Harry/Dumbledore tribute. You can see hers over at: http://return.bohemian-dreams.net/

And, if you like Harry Potter videos, check out this, seriously: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_51-PTb5k9I

^Harry/Hermione video to "Who Knew" by Pink. Video by Issa a.k.a vidderella (my new idol!).
It doesn't matter if you ship Harry/Hermione or not (I don't!) ANYONE can appreciate this video!

Thanks guys!
