Warning: this is an experiment. The editing is jerkier than I'd usually do, but I couldn't get it any smoother. (Plus working with my left hand only isn't exactly easy! razz ) rotten tomatoes! wink

Ahh I thought it was great! And added points for doing it one-handed!

(Watch it you'll start a trend for extreme video making... <g>)

Oh, so *this* is the "neither video nor a trailer" that you were talking about... This was cool. thumbsup Yes, the editing was jerky, but the storyline came through clearly enough, which is a commendable achievement considering you're limited to re-using video and audio.

I got to the end of it and was startled to see that only a little more than 3 minutes had passed... it felt a lot longer than that. Make of that what you will wink

Interesting. Very new. Cool.

Guess I shouldn't be surprised that you chose TOGOM, should I? wink

The only thing is that I found it very distracting whenever the audio and video weren't synched. I know you had very limited options and that you had to play mix and match to some degree. It just makes it harder for me, personally, to get into the story when I see Lois speaking "dubbed" English. I can get around that in music videoes (for the most part) because they're music videos. Here, though, she's supposed to be talking and I'm supposed to be hearing the words that she's saying, and it just doesn't match up.

I didn't mind the jerky video editing so much. It's entirely understandable, and it shows up as no more than a brief glitch.

As for the story itself, it's got a nice, tight flow and it covers all the essentials. Good job!

So, I applaud your innovation and I like the story, but the "dubbing" does make things a bit difficult for me.

When in doubt, think about penguins. It probably won't help, but at least it'll be fun.

Oooh, Wendy, this was a really neat idea notworthy

I like it! Now, I dare you to 'videoize' Faux Paus or Masques :p Pfft, oh come on, it would be fun laugh

Anyway, thanks for sharing, I enjoyed this smile

LOL! That was funny, Wendy. smile And why am I not surprised you chose TOGOM for your first Fanfic Video venture? wink Very nice and original way to tell a story, in any case. thumbsup

- I'm your partner. I'm your friend.
- Is that what we are?
- Oh, you know what? I don't know what we are. We kiss and then we never talk about it. We nearly die frozen in each other's arms, but we never talk about it, so no, I got no clue what we are.

Aramis: Yes, sorry.

Just finished downloading it...

The dubbing did feel a bit awkward, but I won't complain. You managed to be creative with limited sources thumbsup Keep it up!

A good trend for the FoLCs to pick up wink

See ya,

LOL!! Very cute, Wendy! Probably not the reaction you were expecting... but, you see, it's just so... un-angsty. Wouldn't have expected that from you and TOGOM put together. goofy /me ducks wink

Don't you wish we could get movie maker to manipulate things *just* the right way? laugh

Cute and fun idea, Wendy!!
