The Vividcon Premieres show is over, alas, but on the other hand: that means I can post my vid. Yay!

Fandom: Labyrinth
Music: "Blue Jean" by David Bowie
Format: .avi with the DivX codec
Size: 14.4 Mb
Description: You may find that having is not so pleasing a thing, after all, as wanting.

Download the vid (right-click and save, please!)

Read the lyrics

I've said it before, but it bears repeating: galumping great thanks to elynross, halimede and both halves of flummery for beta-ing and to sockkpuppett for teaching me how to mess with motion settings and track mattes at the very last minute. You all rock.

Should you have any trouble playing the vid, I have outlined some solutions on my vids page.

I would love to know what you think, and that includes critical feedback, here or at marycrawford@squidge.org .

I'll probably do a post about the making of this vid later, once I have recovered from Saturday's fantastic family wedding.

This was absolutely gorgeous.

The song was perfect, and paralleled Sarah's journey.

I really love how well the lyrics line up with the speaking imagery. Wonderful.

Lovely vid, some very nice editing to lyrics and the beat and I adore Labyrinth so really you had me before I even dl'ed it. ;)

You really just completely and totally win at life. I love that you went for a more light-hearted feel -- I mean, for a Labyrinth vid to any David Bowie song I would've probably put up with pure shiteful schmaltz, I have to own that -- but... yeah.

This works so *well*. For the song, for the themes of song and film, and -- God, the chorus bits!

*joy*

Thank you!

Oh, this is great! I mean, it had to be because it's Labyrinth and David Bowie, but I love the way you made it work. Not just the lip syncing, but the theme of the song with the story of the movie, and how it's bouncy and lighthearted and yet kind of wistful as well. Wonderful, so wonderful.

I need a Labyrinth icon.

Gorgeous! I hadn't seen Labyrinth in ages (not since it first was in theatres, I think), but this vid totally brought it back to me. The rhythm and the atmosphere and the matching between the visuals and the lyrics were just perfect.
