SGA Rodney vid: Dare You to Move

[sholio]

Title: Dare You to Move
Artist: Switchfoot
Genre: Character study, angst, episode-related
Spoilers: Trinity, McKay & Mrs. Miller
File type: WMV or Mp4, zipped
Summary: A Rodney-centric video about getting up and moving forward after making a mistake. Sometimes you have to risk it all to gain it all.

This is my first video edited in iMovie. While it's infinitely preferable to trying to do it in my old program (which was ten years old and feeling every minute of it), one thing that still drives me nuts about iMovie is that there's only one video editing track. In Premiere, I used to jump around a lot while I was editing a vid, using different tracks to keep my clips separate. Since iMovie only gives you one track, you can get everything all synced up, and then swap or resize a clip earlier in the timeline and knock the entire rest of your video out of sync. AAARGH...

Anyway, hopefully using iMovie will help fix some of the past problems with my vids, like the jerkiness that people mentioned. Let me know if you have any technical problems and I'll try to fix them.

Rodney has been on a journey hasn't he? He's the every-man even though he'd bite my head off for saying it. Such an insult to his ego. I think he's easily identified with. Wonderful stuff.

He probably *would* hate being described that way *grin* but I do think you're right. He's sort of a projection of the viewer -- the character who often voices what we're thinking but are too polite to say; the one who deals overtly with the various insecurities and personality flaws that plague most people; the ordinary guy surrounded by heroic people.
