A little tribute celebrating the fun times and awkward moments from one of the most charming regenerations of the Doctor, the Tenth, as played by the talented David Tennant.
David's Doctor is such an endearing character, innocent and delightful and extremely expressive, while still plagued with deep loneliness. I wanted to do a fun, light-hearted tribute, including a couple favorite moments (*cough*cough*ten seconds of being slapped in the face and smooched by Rose's mother*cough*). It's a shame the vid is only a minute long, but I was practicing new techniques and I didn't want to spend too long on it. I like how it came out, though!
Soooo, my friends of the HTTYD persuasion, as you can see I got a bit into this thing called Doctor Who. Just about a month ago my sis and I started watching the Tenth Doctor's episodes, and have really been enjoying it. It's an addictive show and an engaging universe, and my sister and I have had the best of times sharing nights watching. It's not a perfect show, there's thematic issues sometimes, but overall, we really love it and especially the Doctor's personality and complex character. I got to vidding Cate's birthday video and couldn't keep my hands off the Doctor Who footage I had on my hard drive. This was really fun to make!

Ive found a reason for me
to change who I used to be
a reason to start over new
and the reason is you ♬
There are now three things in my life so far that Ive hated everything about, but then fell in love with. One was characterization, then a certain writer/now friend, and the third... is Iron Man. Im getting a kick now over what a certain Circle friend of mine will think of this latest live-action vid from me, because I did start a tiff with him about how horrible Tony was, a year ago on his HTTYD Iron Man 3 trailer dub (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5w8a51TwaU). Let me just tell you now, crow has been very much eaten!!
Ive always had a judging eye on arrogance, but last years foray into Doctor Who taught my narrative mind a lot on understanding how someones bark isnt his heart, not all the time, and how someone can be self-centered but not necessarily selfish, and how the shallow side of someone doesnt always define their core. Ive learned to read behind the lines even more, and to understand how two opposite but equally important ideals can exist in one person. It also helps that I went ahead and watched Iron Man 2 and 3 (and rewatched Iron Man 1), and the rest of the Marvel canon (yes, even Agents of SHIELD), and I know now the *writers* (MCUs) mind behind everything, and how that writer is telling a story of responsibility, sacrifice, and change: from a (super)man to a hero, in ones heart.
Tony Starks story is no different, and his relationship with Pepper Potts is one of the most meaningful ships in my fleet. His vulnerability, frustration, and search for identity is in many ways wrapped around Pepper, and his love for her which changed him into the hero he has become. He wants to protect her, and that one climactic moment in IM3 (1:36 in this vid) when he put the suit on her and not himself, well... that was the first part I made of this vid, because the lyrics and scene apply as much to me as to Pepper on Tonys character.
About the vid. Its in widescreen, using my editors (Premiere Pro CC) latest native filters, some downloaded overlays and transition plugins (trying to Vegas my editor, ha!), and features lyric highlights at the end. Im trying on the posh styles of other live action editors Ive been watching lately. Hope this one measures up!
About the making. Its true. Im strapped for time. So what am I doing with a wild Marvel vid? My sis and I have been wrapped in feels for several months now with the Marvel canon... Coulson, Cap, Tony, Loki. This song came along and just screamed Pepperony. Guess I was inspired and had to do it before I lost that drive. Making NF95s birthday video helped push me into my editor. And in case Whisper is listening, I still have your dedication vid in mind. As the time edges on the more perfect I want to make it. Needless to say, I have some big ideas Im hoping to perfect.
// ~ voiceovers
Tony: Got a family?
Yinsen: Yes. And you, Stark?
Tony: No.
Yinsen: So youre a man who has everything. And nothing.
Pepper: I cant take this anymore. I never know if youre gonna kill yourself or, or...
Pepper: Tony!
Tony: You deserve better. Youve taken such good care of me.
Pepper: Tony. What are you not telling me?
Tony: And I have to protect the one thing that I cant live without. Thats you.
Tony: Pepper! (2x)
Pepper: Tony!
Tony: Just do it!!
Pepper: Youll die!
Jarvis: Shall I try Miss Potts?
Tony: Might as well.
