I think I've done more fannish stuff in the past 48 hours than in the previous 2 months. Go figure. Anyhow, a revised version of Commercial for Lex is up, newly compressed to an almost reasonable size (9 MB), and another experiment wherein I overuse effects but enjoy the result is here (19 MB, sorry). If I had to pick whose voice Brian Molko ought to represent, it wouldn't be Clark, but there you go.

Wow! Minor changes, but such a big difference. There's a whole narrative line coming out that wasn't quite there before and it's really neat. Thanks for posting the revisions!

Also I like the new one - RedClark wants to be Lex, so badly it hurts! Nice paralleling of the club scenes. You've got in here friendship, betrayal, secrets, anger, pain, woe ... and the song choice is excellent. You did some fantastic visuals here too - I don't know why you keep telling yourself you aren't a vidder because baby, you're kicking some serious butt.

Thanks. It means a lot for you to say that. What I was trying for with Running Up That Hill was that, by the end, it wouldn't seem an entirely unselfish wish -- Clark would rather have Lex's problems than his own.

Is SV very different for vidding from other shows because it's so obsessed with color, do you think? It seems like a lot of times I reject clips not because the content is wrong, but because the color is. It means you have to stick in Metropolis for a while (blue), or Lex's office (muted red/yellow), etc.

Every show has a color range; SV has a pretty distinct set of them, so it can be a challenge if you're paying attention to it. At least it doesn't have quite as much of the darkness problem that Buffy and Angel did, with vampires having to be out at night so much.
