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.

I wanted it to seem like Clark wanted to switch because he didn't like his own problems

ohhh. See, I didn't get that feeling because you've juxaposed images of Lex hurting with the "swap our places" line, especially with how happy Clark looks in comparison to Lex in some of those scenes. I sometimes got the feeling from the vid that Clark wanted to be Lex to order to help Lex, in a kinda "let me help shoulder your burdens" kinda way. Part of it's probably because I haven't seen the source images (despite keeping up with the plotline), I dunno.

Oh, reading some of the other comments, where the song changes pace and hit's it's climax is at the lines ""C'mon, baby, c'mon darling, / Let me steal this moment from you now." I think if you aim the plot of your story to that point for emotional impact you might lend more tension to the vid, if you want.

I'm pretty satisfied with the effect I produced -- if you didn't get that feeling, that's okay as long as the vid worked for you. Though maybe it would have seemed a bit different if you'd seen the episode where Clark gets instructed to take over the world by his biological father, which is where some of the last images are from. Anyhow, making it was a real learning experience, and I suspect I'll be back with other vids.
