So I just had to make something out of the exciting new stuff coming out of the "Rise of the Guardians" fandom: the new soundtrack and new Character Profiles for Jack and Company. I loved really "mashing" together the movies, with overlays and such. Hope you all enjoy this one! Premiere Pro was being a general Red Death about this, I think my laptop needs an upgrade or something. :/
Anyway, it's going to be interesting to see RotG, not the least because it looks exciting and deep, but because it's the first movie that I actually got in the "fandom" for before it came out, LOL. It's going to be weird hearing music I've listened to (and made a vid to!) suddenly put to the movie itself. I'm stoked for November 21. My father is going come with my sister and me to the midnight premiere (hopefully we make it!). Yays. ^^ Have a happy Jack GIF...

Huge thanks to the YouTube user luke19905, who provided the fandom with some of the soundtrack before its release date. I won't post the track title here, in case it's spoiler-ish. But it's a darling track, so tender and heart-felt.

RIP Leonard Nimoy, 1931-2015, a man of gentleness, wisdom, and humanity.
Well this is sure coming out of nowhere! I never even mentioned before how Star Trek was an old fandom of mine, alight some 8 years ago. The news of Nimoys passing in February saddened me, then inspired me as I learned about his life. The old nostalgia came back, and since then Ive been so happy rediscovering this classic and the cast and crew behind it. Its chock-full of epic broship, humor, and quite insightful thematics. This vid was made to make up for the sorry shortage of Kirk/Spock/McCoy TOS videos out there. I ADORE this trios friendship, banter, and chemistry. The reboot films dont quite capture the balmy fun of The Original Series, but I totally dig the clever callbacks and in-references JJ Abrams submerged in them. And who can deny the old USS Enterprise all prettied up in CGI? ;)
❝ about the vid
Not my most nit-picked outing, I made this fairly quickly for my standards. Courtesy the song, which gave itself well to slap-dash editing. Ive been quite busy with Life that it was quite fun to make something up on the spur of the moment. The song is one of my favorites, honest with its joyful sound and yet equally a tragic and uplifting vignette of the Challenger shuttle explosion of January 28, 1986.
Also, apologies for not getting back to folks here. Job search and other first world concerns took time and energy. *sniff*

a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…
Tucked away in a system far on the Outer Rim lies a planet in which dwells the nation of Panem. Its citizens, channeled only by news fed by the Capitol, never know the extent of the galactic rebellion far outside its borders, or even the terrors wrought by the Empire. The Capitol has its own problems, keeping its twelve districts in check and its people in bondage.
Luke Skywalker, hero of the Rebellion, finds himself drawn, by fate, by chance, by the Force… to the planet. There he meets Katniss Everdeen and discovers the horror of the Hunger Games. Something inside him tells Luke that change is going to happen here, that a new hope will rise from the victims of the Games itself to defeat the Capitol. Saddled with destiny, he volunteers as tribute and joins Katniss in the 74th Hunger Games. She intrigues him, with her fire, her sadness, her tenacity. She wants no part of his mystic idealism but in the end he breaks her shell with a few shared blows in the training arena.
Love is not what either tribute bargained for. But in the Games they confront their feelings. Katniss learns to smile again and Luke almost forgets the vision he had long before, about destiny, about fate. She finds comfort and hope in his arms.
And then it happens. A gang of violent tributes rush in to attack Katniss. Luke defends her, and his love for her, his hatred of the system that had drained her of so much life forge in him a darkness that ends with the slaying of the remaining tributes by Lukes hand. Katniss is shocked. It is then that Lukes vision becomes clear. It was not him who was to change Panem, but her. She is the hope, the hero, of this rebellion. He has to leave; she begs him not to. But love cannot change the fact that he fears his own hand, that he is still not the Jedi that is impervious to the dark side. And he will not trust her life to what he is capable of.
❝ about the vid
First off, thanks to Catty and Michelle of the TACWC for making this awesome crossover contest! Theres only one other video on YT featuring these two (that Ive found).
A personal breakthrough… my first major masking/Adobe After Effects extravaganza!! My sis and I made it together, and we had an absolute ball creating such a fine-tooth story out of our clips. They were a beast to work with sometimes (that kiss *shakes fist*), but completely worth it for the moments of squee when we got some clips or VOs to snap together perfectly. And we got to vid Katniss at long last! Theres so many cool parallels between her and Luke, both of them heroes of their rebellions. Making this vid gave us a heap of sudden shippy feels. *heart eyes*
