Okay, I need to explain what happened here. See, I was still sad about the probable lack of vid this time out. And I'd been thinking, it would at least be fun to take the obvious (*points to song*), cut down a minute or so of it, and amuse myself for a bit. So when I got home late yesterday I started a project file. There's only one problem with this. And that is that when, somewhere around 3 am, you start to take Corey Hart seriously. Okay, maybe you only ever take Corey Hart seriously if you live in my brain. Yeah. By the time I came to my senses, it was pretty much too late to do anything about it if I wanted to have anything up this week. And I know myself well enough to know that with the Vividcon deadlines coming up on top of the next Eleventy Project starting today...it was this or nothing, and I was less okay with nothing than with public humiliation. I type all this up so that you can make an informed decision on whether or not to skip this entirely. You probably should. I DONT EVEN KNOW. Feel free to mock, should you be so inclined. You probably could not be more wtfed than I am. At least there is actual literal wearing of sunglasses at night? Yeah, I'm...gonna go pretend this never happened now.

LOL. I like it!

[fan_eunice]

You are *very* kind. :) *hugs*

[everysecondtuesday]

You posted! \o/

I'll admit, I started out all, "ahaha, what is this, Eleven wears his sunglasses at night, this is awesome :DDDD" and then quickly devolved into "Roryyyyyyyyyy ;__________;" It appears I am not over last week's yet.

[fan_eunice]

...and that pretty much describes the vid process in a nutshell.

(so totally not over last week)

*HUGS*

[par_avion]

AAAAH, AWESOME! Oh Corey Hart. This vid has made me realize that I can't understand a whole bunch of your lyrics. I do love (and own, and own my love for) this song and it does make me happy to see the Doctor wearing his sunglasses at night! (I think many children of the 80s were immediately reminded of this song when we saw the ep.)

But beyond that, I like the way you used the two different females for "she's deceiving me" and the use of the binoculars, the hillside X2, the piece of the tardis, etc.

Thank you for posting it :)

[fan_eunice]

*smishes* awww, thanks :)

I am convinced that the *entire* 'turn it night' portion of the plotline was put in place for NO OTHER REASON than the sunglasses. Which, yes, was a total shout out to us children of the 80's. :D

[elisi]

It is awesome and I loves it!

(Commenting here just so I can use my Eleven is sunglasses icon! *g*)

[fan_eunice]

*hugs*

(I am jealous that you have an icon with Eleven in sunglasses, but if I ever bothered to go *get* more icons I could probably have one too, only instead I will just sit here and pout)

[pocketmouse]

Okay, that was actually awesome and I wanted more and ROOOOOOOORY....

[fan_eunice]

:D

what's frightening is that if I'd had more time I may very well have been able to stretch this for the whole song. I'm not sure I would have been able to stop myself.

OHGODRORY. *sniffle*

[darthfangirl]

ILU. I just wanted you to know that.

[fan_eunice]

ILU BACK OMG. *smishes*

(and it is Eleventy day TODAY)

[darthfangirl]

Eleventy Day! The greatest of all possible days! (OMG, this week is so good!)

[fan_eunice]

I'm sorry, I'm too busy being JEALOUSLY SPITEFUL and hating you for having seen it already to respond.

NOT FAIR

*goes to corner and sulks*

*comes out of corner to hit refresh on torrent sites again*

[darthfangirl]

Well, I still <3 you anyway. So there! :-P

I've been watching the livestream at that Justin TV site. It's pretty good, though it does occasionally pause and make me scream at it.

[kitsun3]

Yeah, I really kinda love this. ::grin::

[fan_eunice]

:D :D *hugs*

Maybe my insanity is catching? *g*

Literal, schmiteral. Warning: capslock abuse.

[laurashapiro]

OMG YOU ARE A FUCKING GENIUS.

HOW DOES THIS WORK? THIS SHOULD NOT WORK! BUT IT WORKS! OMG METAPHORS FOR THE WIN!!!

I love what you did here, how you used the lyrics to show what's most important to the Doctor, and who stands in the way of that (brilliant idea to intercut the two women who screw everything up), and then how you move to the Rory sequence, it's all just...::flail::

HOW ARE YOU SO AWESOME???

Re: Literal, schmiteral. Warning: capslock abuse.

[fan_eunice]

EEEEEEEEEEE CAPSLOCK, WHICH I SHALL RETURN WITH CAPSLOCK HUGS. ::HUGS::

And I think the real question is how are YOU so awesome?

Also comforting to know that when I went off the planned rails in the middle of the night that people ended up being able to go with me. Because, seriously, when I emerged from the fog of cutting and tossing I was like...'what the hell did I just do, I am going to be laughed off the internet'

Re: Literal, schmiteral. Warning: capslock abuse.

[laurashapiro]

::HUGS::

Of course we were able to go with you! You lead us to cool places. (:

[grlnamedlucifer]

LOL, I love that you somehow actually made something that should have just been ridiculous actually work. XD

[fan_eunice]

:D thank you. Considering I started out intending to be ridiculous I'm still not entirely sure how this happened. Except that I am nearly incapable of *not* lapsing into sincerity when I vid. :D

[such_heights]

OMG WIN. And also, ;_;

[fan_eunice]

:D :D (late reply is late, also late are my wishing you a HAPPY BIRTHDAY, which I totally missed but wish to express now how cool it is that you arrived in this world to make it just that much more AWESOME)

[such_heights]

<33 Thank you, lovely!

[gelasius]

I MOCK YOU GENTLY AND WITH LOVE.

<333

Also, Rory. *whimpers*

[fan_eunice]

Rooooooooooooooooooooory. *sniffle*

I accept your mocking as I have absolutely no defense against it given what I did there. :D :D :D

[rj_anderson]

You... just made me take Corey Hart seriously. And I was a teen in the 80's in Canada so that should not be even remotely possible considering I had to listen to the !@&* thing and see his pouty face on MuchMusic about ten times a day.

I am in awe of your skills.

(*is scrounging around your journal because I am bubbling over with squee and Eleventy love after "The Lodger" and was desperate enough to start combing through Lizbee's reading list in hopes of finding other equally squeeful folk -- thus my sudden and seemingly random appearance here*)

[fan_eunice]

HEE, I was not in Canada, but I was a teen in the 80's so believe me when I say no one is more confused than me about what happened here. :D

Thank you so much, and OMG so many hugs and thank yous for the other eleventy vid comments you've left as well. I'm not having the best week and you have made my day so much brighter. <3 <3 <3

Also, you being Canadian means I am irrationally fond of you regardless, just on the basis of residing in a country which gave me Hugh Dillon. WELL DONE ON THAT.

[actiaslunaris]

I love this vid so much and the way the song works with the source is just... amazing. All the kudos to you. Your thoughts on vidding always fill me with a sense of camaraderie. (Read: I like your brain; it is full of shiny.) Ahem. I think I shall add you to my circle, so that I don't miss more of this type of awesomeness.
