Songvid: Sanctuary- Tesla

[sholio]

Welllll ... this is why I haven't been online much this weekend. (I seem to have become far more hooked on Sanctuary than I was expecting. Oops.) Here, have a Tesla songvid!

Title: The Bitch is Back
Artist: Elton John
Clips: through 3x10 (though not spoilery for anything but Tesla's scenes)
Summary: Tesla. What can I say.

Eeee~! Vid! Fun vid to watch, too, even though I don't know the characters at all - my, my, he is a charming sort of smirky genius, isn't he? I kind of love him just from the clips here!

[sholio]

Thank you! :D I'm glad you liked it despite not having seen the show!

He is the very most charming sort of smirky genius, indeed. I just wish he was in more episodes (he only has a few). I didn't think this show was going to get me this way, but, er, then Tesla happened, and now I'm wondering whether I have time for yet another fandom on top of everything I'm supposed to be getting done this month!

Oh, Nikola, how I love you. Very fun vid. :-)

Totally a perfect song for Tesla! I'm writing a scene with him, whining about how hard he is to write, and this was just perfect. ~cracks knuckles~ Back to the grind! :D

Okay, this is just fun.

[sholio]

Thank you very much! (I ♥ Nikola :D)

[sholio]

Thank you so much! ♥

[sholio]

Thank you very much! ♥ I'm very glad you enjoyed it!

[sholio]

Hee, isn't it just? :D Good luck with your fic!

[sholio]

Thank you! I ♥ Tesla a lot.

this is the most perfect song ever for nikola. he's such a bitch! i love you for putting this vid together!

[sholio]

Thank you! Isn't it a perfect Tesla song? This vid was so much fun to make. ♥

hehe, perfect song for the chap. "I'm a bitch, I'm a bitch......."

Oh you have other vids! How convenient! ;)

Let's do this one as a numbered list.

1. OMG, THE MOVEMENT IN THIS VID! The way it slides from scene to scene is just perfect, and it's the little touches (IN TIME WITH THE MUSIC), that I adore to the point where they're getting their own numbers.

2. 0.24, 0.28, 0.31-.32 (EEEEEEEEEE!), 0.58, 1:04 (ish).

3. Timed use of lightning. ADORE! ADORE!

4. "Entertain by picking brains"

5. The long clip at the end is awesome.

6. Nikola talks a lot, but none of your clips look like "talking heads".

7. Gratuitous use of the clip from "Sleepers" where he's leaning up against the car.

8. How the clips make sense, but they make more sense because I'm obsessed with the show (for example, the clip about being "better than you").

I should save my adjectives in case you have more vids in the tag...

[sholio]

Thank you! Isn't it a great song for him? :D

[sholio]

You totally give the BEST FEEDBACK. *bounces* Thank you so much! This was an awfully fun vid to make (... pretty much just taking all my favorite Nikola clips and putting them together) and I'm delighted that you liked it!

Nikola talks a lot, but none of your clips look like "talking heads".

Thank you! This was actually something I struggled with in the vid, because OMG, the man NEVER. STOPS. TALKING. Trying to find clips where his lips weren't moving was next to impossible.

Timed use of lightning. ADORE! ADORE!
Nikola + electricity = OTP. *g*

Gratuitous use of the clip from "Sleepers" where he's leaning up against the car.

I had to get that one in there. :D I love how in that scene, he's obviously using the car for support (he did just fall off an umpteen-story building, after all) but he's making it look all stylish and dangerous.

Leaving reviews for vids is fun! ;)

Sometimes I find it easier to leave nitpicky reviews about vids because I can rewatch them a bunch of time. Usually in a fic if I read a line that just punches me in the stomach, it sort of slides together by the end (not that that prevents me from reading the fic a million times, but I typically only review things once). But seriously, that part at 0.32 with Helen JUST SLAYS ME. *hearts*

Hee! So true. Excellent editing and perfect song choice (and I'm not an Elton John fan at all).

[sholio]

Thank you very much! :D It is really a perfect Tesla song. And I love your icon!
